Sony announced plans on Tuesday to sell a new, lighter version of the PlayStation 2 in Japan on November 22.

The newly designed PlayStation 2 comes at a price of 16,000 yen (US$140) and features a sold separately stand like the original PS2 stand for $4.

"While inheriting the functions of the current PlayStation 2, the internal design architecture of the new system has been completely overhauled, resulting (in a console that is) lighter in weight," the company said in a statement.

While expected, a U.S. announcement has yet to be made.

PlayStation 2 celebrated its seventh anniversary last month. To date it has sold 120 million units worldwide making it the best selling video game system of all time.
