If I were in the market for another PS2, I'd go for an older version, likely another V7. They're likely to be cheaper, the laser is very durable and you can get replacements for a reasonable price. The other big plus is that the PS2's directly support IDE harddrives. My laser only gets used when I need to copy a new game to the HD. Any other time, I just boot to HDLoader in DEV2 and run right off the HD. You can use USB HDs with the PSTWO, but it's just about as slow as reading off the original game discs, plus I don't think they support DEV2.

how do you tell if it's a v12 or v13?
