silver PS2. I was never a fan of the slimline.

Or it could be they can't get it to run on the 360 Core:

Of course that's just the VP at Rockstar saying it, not some random
analyst from "Wedbush Morgan." He's certainly not nearly as credible
or informed.

I would think the way San Andreas worked this thing will kill the 360
as soon as it's put in the drive :O)

i worked in a games shop at the time.

we had a lot of early version slimlines come back (it launched at
roughly the same time as SA over here) and just due to the amount of
stress SA placed on the hardware, it caused overheating and fatal
crashes.

they seemed to have sorted it by the 2nd or 3rd revision of the
hardware though, but there were massive shortages of stock in the run
up to christmas 2004 while they tried to sort it out.

Kids and games machines. They seem to think controllers are made out

we always knew that lack of an HDD on their core unit would come into play
eventually. Shame that both consoles are now dealing with the results of a
very poor MS decision.
