  The best system

Ever since I've bought the origonal back when it came out in 01' I've never had one problem. Every dvd that I've put into it played, every game that I own works with no problem. When the second version, (slim version) came out I sold the origonal for $100. I heard stories that the slim version heats up. Well I can say this one thing. No it does not. I own GT4 (gran turismo 4) and I've left it running for a week straight. It was warm, as any electrical device that is left on, but it did not over heat. With either ps2 that I own(ed) I always left a disc in the tray, so that no dust gets on the lens. That too is another thing that I did to preserve my ps2 and have it run better than any xbox that has been played for the same amount of time.
There are things people can do that can have their ps2 last a long time.
1: don't drop it (common sence)
2: don't block the fan in the back
3: keep a disc (any cd/dvd/ps2) in the tray
4: keep it clean
5: keep items off the top
Doing these simple things will prolong the life of your ps2, like it has done to mine.
If you are looking for a gaming system, go with a ps2.

I will be buying a ps3 when it comes out in 2006. And I'll still own the ps2 I have now.

  Sony PlayStation 2 Slim - Solid System, But Not Perfect
Review created: 11/11/05(updated 11/11/05)

79 of 100 people found this review helpful.

The Sony PlayStation 2 Slim (PStwo) is a great video game system (and DVD player) for your money. I've owned mine for about a year and I've been very pleased with it. It is the 2004 version of the original PlayStation 2 released in 2000, but it is much more compact and adds built-in online capability. Here is a list of pros and cons:

Pros:
1. Has a huge selection of games for all ages and genres
2. Plays both DVDs and CDs (you can purchase a remote separately)
3. It's tiny! And it easily fits into most entertainment system
4. Is relatively cheap compared to the newest systems
5. Is very affordable, especially when compared with the 2005-2006 systems
6. Has built-in online capability and playing online with others is free
7. Is not fragile, does not overheat - I heard those rumors before I bought it and they are just not true.

Cons:
1. Despite its newness, it does not have the latest graphics capabilities - the PlayStation 3 comes out in Spring '06 and will blow this away but will be lots more $$, too.
2. Its online experience is not as good as Xbox Live
3. Unlike the original PlayStation 2, it has no hard drive expansion option. Most don't care about this, but some folks like to download and store lots of stuff.

In summary, the PlayStation 2 Slim is an excellent system with great value. It may not be nearly as functional or snazzy as the PlayStation 3 (March 2006) or the Xbox 360 (Nov 2005), but it really gets the job done as an affordable game system and DVD player. I hope this was helpful.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do). The best offer to do is STAMPS.com. Its free, all you need to do is register and follow the instructions. And you’re on your way to your free prize for just completing this offer!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 4 week free trial and it is free! I don’t have to do anything with it). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 5-14 people or friends (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay or any other message board, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your iPod or your selected item for free, I chose the PS3. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click my link: http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4574538

Step 4: Receive your iPod or PS3 for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is Free!!!)

  Get a free PS3!
Review created: 03/12/08

I tried this offer and all you need to do is refer a certain amount of people depending on the item you want to receive. You also only have to complete one offer yourself. Most of them are fast, easy, and just free trials that you can cancel before the time is up. Photostamps and Stamps.com are the easiest to complete.

All you have to do is:

1. Choose the gift you want to receive.
2. Submit a valid e-mail address.
3. Choose if you want to do point based or referral based requirements.
4. Complete one of the offers listed (depending on what your free gift requirement includes).
5. Post your link from your progress page to refer other's to the site (if you chose the referral method of achieving your gift.)

I'm going to be able to get a free PS3 80 GB and a game plus extra controller just for referring 13 people who in turn sign up and complete an offer. You could do the same. :)

SHIPPING IS ALSO COMPLETELY FREE! You pay nothing for the shipping OR your gift.

  gets hot very quickly!
Review created: 02/17/08
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

The smaller console does look a lot nicer then the original ps2, however it does not work as well. For my husband, he loves to sit and play for hours on end, with this console he couldn't do so. It would get hot, start skipping and even shut off on him! Took it back and exchanged it, and the new one did the same thing! There is no fan in the smaller one to keep it cool during game play! Other then that, was the same as the original.

I had the opportunity to buy an excellent product for a reasonable price to include accesories and games as a Christmas gift. Saved time, money and avoided getting into shopping malls looking here and there, saving also gasoline which is real expensive. My little grandson loved it and is happy with his gift. I tell tell you, this is a great way of shopping and is very easy getting used to it!!!!

  Still a Contender

I had my PS2 for a while. It's been a few years but it is still a pretty good system. I am a pretty good supporter for game consoles but i must say it is still a contender the new PS3. Mostly it is a cost thing that limits most gamers from jumping to the PS3 but if you have the PS2 you can still enjoy new games coming out in the market.

I have played PS2 with my nephews for the past 3 years and I finally broke down and bought one. I am very pleased with my purchase. I got a great deal on it. The main reason I bought it was for Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution for a huge party we were having. It was such a hit. You really can't go wrong getting one and with the thin model it is very portable(for the car, etc). You can't go wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

  PS2 or XBOX? "OLD GENERATION" Gaming?
Review created: 04/01/07
by:
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

With all the "Next Generation" gaming systems out now, it's seems like it was years ago, that the Xbox and Playstation 2 gaming systems were the "it" thing in gaming. To our surprise (fellow gamers that were disappointed by next generation consoles and games), these "old generation" gaming systems seem to fill the gaps when the new sytems either break down or fail to live up to the expectations of gamers. Whether you have or buy an "old" PS2 or Xbox, you will and are probably still getting your money's worth! With the high price tag of "next generation" gaming systems and games, the old systems are going to be sufficient for 99% of gamers worldwide. The only people that get to truely take advantage of some of the next generation gaming properties (like HD Video/Games) are people with HD/LCD TV's. The second main concern is Sony's Blu-ray DVD VS. Microsoft's HD DVD player. You can spend around $500 for a PS3 (with an HD Blu-Ray Player built-in) or $500 for an Xbox 360 with the HD DVD Player included ($200 by itself, if purchased seperately). The question is, which system's HD DVD PLAYER will eventually "take over"? Will the consumer be forced to buy both the PS3 for Blu-ray "exclusive" DVDs and Microsoft's DVD player for Microsoft "exclusives"? The answer is unknown, but the solution is simple...Wait to buy either one! Yeah, it seems nice to own something when it first comes out because you seem to be "in" with the "hip-crowd", but the first release or beta version of anything, generally sucks! The PS3, just like the Xbox 360 with it's first release, had and still has major problems. Overheating, crashing, and suddenly stopping are just a few!

A teacher once said to me, "let the grade match the deed". In a video gaming analogy..."let the system warrant the price". With the high cost of games, consoles, and problems, I highly recommend staying away from "next generation" gaming systems, until the price comes down and all of the bugs have been worked out. An "old" PS2 or Xbox has good graphics, sound, and huge selections of inexpensive games in every genre! The systems are tested tough and are very affordable! The Xbox and PS2 have years left in them and I wouldn't be surprised if they are still gaming machines in 5-7 years from now!!!

This has got to be one of the best gaming experiences out there. I recently purchased a PS2 hinking that it had been a really long time that I had a gaming console and late technology wouldn't hurt me if I ended up ignoring it. This game was recommended by a long time gamer and friend and I borrowed it from him. I had to purchase my own because I enjoyed it so very much. Afraid to say, I have been staying up late at night and losing sleep to keep playing. If you have the chance, and have not played this game, you should. Enjoy!

  Sony PS2 -- A whole lotta bang for a little buck!
Review created: 02/16/07(updated 02/16/07)

The PlayStation 2 game console was the best of its generation. Can it hold a candle to the nextgen systems (PS3 and XBOX 360)??? Let's see...

Graphics: Nextgen wins. This one's a no-brainer. The PS2 can't compete with the nextgen systems on this front. Though I should mention that the PS2 has very good graphics.

Gaming Library: PS2 wins. There are games for all ages on the PS2 and you can play the PS1 games as well. The PS3 (as of this writing) is still having compatability issues with the PS2 and PS1 games.

Online: Difficult...Nextgen takes it. The 360 has decent online funtions. PS3 is lagging on that front...PS2 online is free...

Size: PS2 wins. The original is bulkier than the slim, but still smaller than nextgen systems.

Price: PS2 all the way! If you can afford to go out and drop $400 minimum for the nextgen systems, by all means, have at it. But for those of us looking to spend considerably less than that, the PS2 is where you'll get the most bang for your buck.

Overall, I've had absolutely no problems with the PS2. The PS2 doubles as a DVD player (regular DVD's, not HD or Blu-Ray) and though I've never used it as such, it can also double as a CD player. A remote can be purchased separately.

I would recommend the PS2 to anyone not in a position to go out and buy the newest nextgen console.

I love this purchase of the Sony PS-2, because it truly entertains my son, and both of my grandsons. I originally purchased it for my wife so I could get some time on my computer. She loves games on-line, but it interferes with my checking out ebay. It was used but is in extremely great shape. It came with two controllers and some games and it works perfect. I am very satisfied with this item. A great thanks to EBAY for being so great!
