the ps2 slim. no mater the color black,white,silver,[ i have the limited edition silver] the ps2 has proven its self whole heartedly if your a budgett gamer or waiting for the ps3 to drop down to a reasonable price the ps2 slim is the way to go. smaller,lighter and a few more features than the original ps2 ive had mine for 3-4 months now and i leave it on nearly 24/7 and it never complains haha. a firend of mine bought the orignial ps2 and it would freeze often in mid game but i dont have tha problem with my slim.but even thought it can read dvd movies dont expect it 2 play any than other than brand spankin new movies. it is a picky dvd player so i just use it as its main pupose a gaming system. i have a 5 disc dvd changer so i aint the least bit off-struck at its poor dvd feature.do i recomend this system? hell yes! if i were a billionaire i would buy every one a ps2 haha.plus there are[in my openion] the best games for any system[excluding next gen systems]. and on that note while your adding this to your shping cart pick up god of war and god of war 2. you will be blown away at the capablites of the ps2.
cons: in the vertical position inserting and removing a disc seems a bit akward.

I will keep it short and sweet. I bought an Xbox 360 Elite about a month ago. Aweesome graphics, tons of storage, online gaming. But it is sitting next to my TV collecting dust. I rarely use it. I bought a PS2 as a reccomendation from a friend. MAN! this thing rocks! First off, the thing is absolutely TINY. About the size of a large paper back book. 2nd, TONS of games! I bought Capcom Classics for $30, which came with about a dozen or so classic arcade games that I grew up with, most notibly for me SFII and all the assorted editions up to SFII Hyper Fighting. 3rd is the games are cheap, and the system is cheap! $129 for a game system with tons of titles, many in the $10 to $20 range. I got GTA III, GTAVC, And GTASA for $30. When they first came out, they easily would have cost me $180 plus tax.
The PS2 takes me back to when games focused on being FUN! Not worring about how many pixels were being pushed on the screen and how fast. The PS2 is the best system out there right now hands down. I was considering purchasing a PS3, and I still might get one, but just for the Blu-Ray drive. I don't think I would play any of the PS3 games, the PS2 games are cheaper and more entertaining than fancy graphics.
The ONLY negative I have with the PS2 is the egronomics of the controller. The Xbox and 360 controllers are more comfortable at least for me. I do not like the analog sticks at the bottom, they are not stiff enough for me, and the travel is too far. I am currently looking for aftermarket controllers. The square, X, circle, and triangle can be confusing at first for those fo you used to the regular abxy. |

| This game console is tiny, easy to set up and works great. You barely even notice it sitting on top of the TV. |

| I've had the original Playstation and playstation One systems when I was younger, and I was spectacle when I saw the Playstation 2 came out. I purchased one and I'm glad I did. The graphics are pretty decent and it has a great game library. (much better than it's brother... PS3)Not to mention that it's inexpensive and it lasts a long time. Not like this other new crap they're putting out that keeps breaking down like the Xbox 360. Why charge so much money for something that breaks down alot? Does that make sense to you? If you wanta good system that will last you a while get this one. It's only $130, better than paying $400 for a peice of junk. Am I right? |

| I was shocked by how small, thin, and light weight this version of the console is. I was so shocked I started wonder if it even performs all of the same functions as the original PS2...and so happens it does! Great purchase, great product. Worth every penny. |

| I bought this as a gift for my husband. He had one and it broke so I re-bought for him and he was stoked! I didn't know that they were smaller now than they used to be. But they are and that is nice when it is kept in my living room. |

| My sons were 5 when they recieved this as a Christmas gift from their Grandfather, much against my wishes. I thought that it would break before they really knew what they were doing and that it was too expensive, I was wrong this is the best gaming console they have ever owned. It has lasted three years now without any problems. It has with stood plane trips to Florida, and the rough housing of boys. The boys love the amount of games that they can choose from and the graphics also. This toy is one of the best purchases that could have been made for them. |

| I'm not really a huge gamer, so I admit, things like up-to-the-second graphics don't really concern me. All I want is an affordable system with a good game library. I've had my PS2 for at least four years now, maybe more, and I've never had a single problem with it. In this age of cheap parts, limited warranties, and nanosecond lifespans, 4 years is an eternity. Even if the games don't look as good at their X Box counterparts, many of them still look beautiful. The controller is comfortable and never awkward. The machine hums when powered on, but never so loudly as to be distracting. Also, it doubles as a CD/DVD player without any annoying add-ons or remote controls; this is important when living in a dorm, where you have to maximize space. Also, I'm the sort of guy who very rarely spends more than twenty bucks on a video game, so even though new releases are almost certainly out of my price range, even the most popular ones tend to drop down to a third of their original price in the course of a year or less. Overall, PS2 is still a fun, affordable system that won't make you feel like you're stuck in the Stone Age of video gaming. I'm only sad that the release of the PS3 has mostly put a stop to games being produced for this console anymore. |
