is the silver ps2 only availible in europe? i seen many on ebay all from UK. THere is an official site which has a country list.. and shows all european countries only. What is the meaning of this?

Are they planning to release silver version in the US?

Dont even bother with the silver console. They scratch very easily, and the silver colour wears off the controls. I have a silver console myself (store only had silver) but I take great care not to scratch it. I also managed to swap my silver controls for black ones, so I dont have to bother about the colour coming off...
