Product Description
When it comes to video games, the one that raised gaming up by several notches is the Playstation 2 or PS2 as its endearing fans call it. It remains a major player in the videogame ring with new games being published for it each year. Its large repertory of games helps it enjoy continued popularity. The PlayStation 2 is small, slim and network ready. And it has an enormous game library - over 1,400 games - to choose from! The redesigned PlayStation 2 inherits the basic functions and design philosophy of earlier PS2 systems, but the internal design architecture has been completely overhauled to include the latest technologies. Renew your current PS2. If you're just getting into videogames, the PS2 is a great place to start. You'll love it! Play DVD videos and audio CD discs on your PS2 DualShock analog controller with pressure sensitivity on every action button (up to 255 levels) and the enhanced mobility of the analog thumbsticks

 Excellent replacement after the old one fried October 10, 2007
39 out of 41 found this review helpful
I bought one of the old PS2 systems when it came out and it worked very well. It was my DVD player as well as my video game console. When I went on vacation I accidentally left it on and it fried. After five good years of service, it finally died.
I had to buy a replacement and so I bought the slimmer version. It works just as well as the other one did and takes up a lot less space on my TV stand. It plays all my games and my DVDs, so I am very satisfied with this Sony product.
I refuse to buy a PlayStation 3 just because I refuse to spend a great wad of cash for a video game console. And with the new Black and White PS3 systems that are being released in November which do not feature PlayStation 2 compatibility, I don't see why I should buy a PS3 right now when it means I'd have to keep my PlayStation 2 just to play my PS2 games is pointless.
If you're looking for a good game system for a low price, buy the PlayStation 2, it's very good for games and DVDs, especially since WII doesn't play DVDs.
Excellent Console for the money .... September 12, 2007
24 out of 25 found this review helpful
Wow ... I was amazed at the size of this console. It's about the size of a trade paperback book, and actually weighs less (1.3 lbs)... in other words it's very small. I purchased the $4.99 upright base from Amazon and I can hardly see this black PS2 across my room.
The network adapter on the PS2 and network startup disk that is included, worked perfect and was very easy to follow. For me, I just purchased a 50' CAT-5 ethernet from Amazon ($11.50)and ran it along my baseboards from my DSL router to the PS2 and had things up and running in about 10 minutes.
I am very pleased with this console's quality and functionality, the selection of PS2 games, and the nice selection of on-line games available. I would highly recommend this console and gaming system for those on a budget and anyone for that matter! Enjoy!
A hint to the clueless January 7, 2008

For all of you clueless adults out there: you must purchase a memory card or the kids can't save their games and have to start over from the very beginning, which can be tedious. My daughter played continuously for hours on end, sleepy-eyed even in the day or so following Christmas (before we purchased a memory card), simply because when she turned the game off, it would be lost forever. Save your children. Buy a memory card.
After the Atari. February 24, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I haven't played video games since the early eighties on, what at the time, was the game console to have. The Atari. Thought it was time to get with the times. I am so amazed at how far games have come and this is a great/affordable system. The temptation was to get the PS3. However it's a bit expensive and for someone getting back into video games I didn't see the need for all the bells and whistles right now. Plus the games a lot more expensive than PS2.
The unit is small and streamline and plays DVD's very well.
I would recommend this system to any 'oldie' like myself who wants to step into the 21st century of gaming.
Excellent Product! February 21, 2008

Granted, I gave the original, larger PS2 a bad review a couple of years ago and swore I would not buy one again. However, I took a chance and got the slimer version and I couldn't be happier. The compact size, cheap games and ease of use make this console a winner. Plus, according to a recent article I read, the PS2 is still very popular, so this baby isn't dying anytime soon. In fact, if by some chance my current one dies, I will definitely buy another one, maybe one of the silver models.
I do have an XBOX 360 and an original XBOX, and hope to get a PS3 way down the line. However, this PS2 will definitely keep me busy for a while, as I have a ton of games I have yet to play. I also want to get a wireless controller and an LCD screen for travel.
