Editorial Review: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.

The PlayStation-2 computer entertainment system is small, slim and network ready. And it has an enormous game library - over 1,400 games - to choose from! The redesigned PlayStation2 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

proven tec.
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.

Bleeding edge isn't always a good thing.
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.

Awesome console, all around!
This is our 2nd PS2 slim console since the 1st one was used up really good on long car trips & survived being banged & stepped on. Awesume rating due to the games available, PS1 & DVD-ROM compatibility, Sleek & portable on trips. Graphic quality is dependent on the game but GT & ATV series have awesome graphics, not to mention Final Fantasy games, just awesome! Finally, the price is right! PS3 needs to come down to this size!

Great Console But...
This console was in great condition, but all the games that came with it were damaged except for one.

Just like it said it would be
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.
