Playstation 2 PS2 console black Scph-79001

In September 2004, Sony unveiled its third major hardware revision (V12, model number SCPH-700xx). Available late October 2004, it is smaller, thinner and quieter than older versions and includes an integrated Ethernet port (in some markets it also has an integrated modem). Due to its slimmer profile, it lacks the 3.5" expansion bay and therefore does not support the internal hard drive. It also lacks an internal power supply, similar to the GameCube, and has a modified Multitap expansion .
