Nikkei Business Daily has announced that the Slimline PlayStation 2 has lost some weight. The newest model of the PStwo SCPH-79000 weighs only 600 kilograms, which is 300 kilograms less than the older model of the updated model of the PlayStation 2. The adaptor of the console lost 100 kilograms as well and weighs now only 250 grams. Sony managed to make a few parts smaller and lighter so production costs will go down as well. The looks of the console remain the same, but who knows Sony might lower the price of its consoles. Or maybe they will just maintain the price of its PS2 consoles to stop the bleeding of the PlayStation 3?

Twenty years ago the first Metal Gear game appeared. In July Snake will celebrate his twentieth birthday and that’s way Konami will release a few Metal Gear Solid classics on July 26 in Japan.

The best thing in this collection of classics is the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary: Metal Gear Solid Collection. This collection contains Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for the PlayStation Portable.

Metal Gear 1 and 2 are playable as well and the box contains a collection of two DVD’s as well featuring Metal Gear Saga and The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Will we ever see this in the US? We’re affraid not, but the 20th anniversary trailer is cool!
