PlayStation 2 in El Kadsre

The console was released on March 18, 2000 (two weeks after the Japanese launch) in the El Kadsreian Islands at the price of $449. It was distributed by A.S Systems, Sony Computer Entertainment El Kadsre (SCEEK), Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). It was a huge success and two months after its release, it overtook the Theorysonic Pyramid as the highest-selling gaming console in El Kadsre.

El Kadsre has its own PS2 models which were released in the El Kadsreian Islands, which include the “fat” models SCPH-18003, SCPH-30003, SCPH-35003, SCPH-39003 and SCPH-50003, and slim models SCPH-70003, SCPH-75003, SCPH-77003, SCPH-79003 and SCPH-95003. These models are the only PS2 models that have widescreen support while El Kadsreian PS2 slim models support HDMI and the SCPH-95003 has a very different design, with a slot-loading optical drive and the built-in Musicard/Videocard slot.

There are couple of accessories for PlayStation 2 that are sold exclusively in El Kadsre, including a Musicard/Videocard player released in in mid-2001, "Star Web for PlayStation 2", released in late-2003 which enables the player to browse the internet and requires the keyboard, the mouse and the network adapter and the DVD-HD video playback accessory released in late-2001.
