PlayStation 2 Console - Black

I've always trusted Sony's products, and I've always liked the Playstation, so when I got this in 2004, I was pretty excited. Its extremely compact size is a big plus over the original PS2, and the fact that it lacks the powered sliding disc drive of the old PS2 (a common failure point) makes it incredibly reliable.

I have put this poor unit through a lot of abuse, including accidentally dropping it against a hard surface, and leaving it on for literally weeks at a time. It has never missed a beat. I think it has frozen up on me twice in my entire ownership of it, during which time I have completed Gran Turismo 3 and 4, Burnout 3 and Revenge, Battlefront 1 and 2, SOCOM 1 and 4, CoD2, Corvette (a lousy game), Stuntman, and played numerous DVDs. So I'm not what you'd call a "light user."

I highly recommend this console, and although there are much better games out now for the 7th generation consoles (360 and PS3), both of those are large and seem to have reliability problems that naturally come with higher technology. This is still a fun system and plays many of my classic favorite games.

Works great, very compact, and takes me away from reality. Better than smoking crack.

Sleek look and Silver, what's better? And it works great. Good price, good performance! GET IT.

My grandson's old PS2 needed replacing so we bought him this new one for his birthday. At first I thought I had ordered the wrong item, the PS2
I received from Amazon was the newer very slim style model and so compact!
It works perfectly and he is back to enjoying his games..also he can easily take it with him going to a friend's or spending overnight because of it's portable size.

Ok so I got a PS2 when I was 7 years old and now I'm 13 and during the 6 years I've had it, there have been NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. And I even go for MONTHS at a time without playing! The controller for PS2 is probably the best controller of any system and the games are big in variety. If you want Dance Dance Revolution- get a PS2. The graphics are..well..really bad but at least the PS2 lasts a long time.
