 A beautiful console November 9, 2006

Compared to the original PS2, this version is a work of art. I don't think pictures really describe how great it looks and how small it is. It has already drawn many 'oohs' and 'aaahs' from my friends.
One thing I didn't expect was the inclusion of an IR port. I had the old remote control for the PS2 that required you plug that big IR receiver into the memory card port. I figured the old remote wouldn't work on the new machine but it does! And without any attachments at all.
The only reason not to get this system is perhaps if you need to use the hard drive add-on, although I think only one or two games (EverQuest is the only one I know of) actually use it.

I am a VERY old-school gamer and the last brand new home console system that I purchased was the Sega Dreamcast in 1999. I lost interest in the gaming scene after the Dreamcast died out. Reason being I didn't care much for 3-D polygonal games. I was bred on 2-D sprite based graphics. My very first system was the 2600 my parents got me in the early 80's. I've had almost every system ever since (between early 80's and 1999, I've had the Sega Master System, Turbo Graphix 16, Commodore 64, Super Nintendo, 3DO, Neo Geo, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis, PS 1, etc..).
When the original PS 2 came out, I was skeptical. I knew that the eventual games being released at the time would not be of any interest to me. As it turned out, I was right. All the similar polygon-based games catering to the teenage male crowd was extremely boring to me.
However, around the middle part of the new millenium, I began noticing a nice amount of retro arcade collections for the PS 2. One example being the Capcom Classics collection. A large gathering of over 20 Arcade games for around 20 bucks. Remember, I came from a time when you paid 50 dollars for an inferior reproduction of 1 arcade game for a home console.
I also caught wind of a new redesinged PS 2 that wasn't all that larger than it's own controller. When I actually saw it, I was pretty impressed with the compact shape and looks of the new system. I still held out though. Not enough compilations to warrant the purchase of a new system.
But, several factors finally changed my mind. Additional compilations were being released, the one from Taito really caught my interest. There were even home console collections being released; I am talking about ones with a wide selection of games for a nominal price. Sony also dropped the price of the system. And finally, the release of this Silver colored system. I was sold.
I've had this system for about 4 days. First of all, looks really pretty. Love the silver color. The size is very compact. Very nice for my space challenged apartment. Of course, the system works with all my old PS 1 games along with the PS 1 memory cards. Load time for my PS 1 games is a lot faster. The controller feels nice and durable.
I've been enjoying games such as Ghost & Goblins, Super-Off Road, and Gladiator for the last several days. I am glad that I decided to purchase this new PS 2 system. Compact size, affordable price, and overall hugh selection of games. Whether you are into retro gaming or not, it is hard to go wrong with this system.
UPDATE- Just to clear up a potential confusion, despite what Amazon listed on their page for this PS 2 system, I did buy this from Amazon and the Sony Playstation 2 that arrived at my doorsteps is the North American NTSC format; NOT the European PAL version. So yes, this system plays all U.S. PS 2 games. Otherwise its been just over a week since I've had this system and I cannot wait to order Capcom Classics vol 2, Sega Genesis collection, and the Metal Slug Anthology. Keep the classics coming!
UPDATE(2)- I've had this system for about 2 years now and although the release of retro-collections are slowing down, I've had a blast with every collection that was released. SNK seems to be the last company to pump out a compilation here and there; I'll enjoy it while it last.
UPDATE(3)- 2 and a half years and I am still enjoying the system. Recently, I've been introducing my girlfriend to my large retro-gaming collection on the PS 2. She really enjoys the Namco stuff such as Dig Dug and Mappy. She also likes some of the Taito stuff. Good times!
UPDATE(4)- Lately I've been exploring the import shoot-em-ups market. Some of my favorites include Strikers 1945 1+2 and Gunbird 1+2. Still rolling with the PS2 after 3 years.
UPDATE(5)- 3 1/2 years with the PS2. Haven't had much of a chance to play recently. But when I do have a moment, I still play Mappy with my girlfriend to see who can beat the high score.

On the eve of PS3's release, I purchased this stunning beauty. Tiny and powerful, I am amazed by the fast and free-flowing graphics. It takes up almost no room, was easy to set up, and the controler is comfortable in the hand. Buttons are intuitive, making for ease of use if you're coming from a different console or pc games.
Two thumbs way up from a hard core gamer.
Great replacement if your old PS2 burned out. September 3, 2007

If you didn't read the exact dimensions of this product, when you receive it, the tiny size will amaze you. It's got all the goodies the old PS2 has + a built in network adapter. So it's online ready soon as you get it. Although the PS3 can play PS2 games, but it's better to save that expensive PS3 for Blue-Rays and PS3 games rather than burning it up on PS2 games. One scratched up rented game will kill you PS, that is how my old PS2 died.
The only thing missing in this package is a wireless controller. The machine looks beautiful on your stereo rack, but with short controller wires coming out, you have to put it in between TV and you. Sony is already making wireless standard on PS3, why not put it to use here as well. Rather pay an extra $10 for the package and have the wireless controller included.
Playstation 2... money well spent September 11, 2008

Well today I was just curiously reading through the ps2's low review ratings and I read a couple of things that i found interesting. for starters i'll tell you about my experiences with ps2s. I bought my first ps2 from an EB games in june of 2001 when i was 13 so it was about 8 months after the north american release on the system. And to this day, I've never had any real issues with my ps2 it still plays games and dvds well to this day. the only problem i ever had with it was it wouldnt play the older blue back discs but this was due to a lens focus problem. which is an easy fix if youre comfortable with taking your ps2 apart. also there were complaints with the durability and longevity of the ps2 and my comment on that is my ps2 has been dropped, pulled off my tv stand, sat in the trunk of my car in the middle of winter, got all wet while i was carrying from my car to my house in the rain, has been on for days at a time in the middle of august on the hottest of days and never overheated and worst of wall i had it in a bookbag and dropped it down the the last the steps of the stairs in my house... and theyre hardwood not carpeted steps. so all in all my ps2 has seen some serious abuse and still entertains me to this day 7 years later. sorry i never mentioned it but the ps2 i just talked about was the large original ps2.
Now for what i think of the slim ps2. my sister got a slimline for her birhtday last july. and she has yet to ever any of the problems people have talked about in their reviews. she plays it daily and it works like a finely tuned machine. and as for durability with the slimline hers sits on a stand by her tv and its never been dropped or anything as far as i know and she leaves it on all the time and shes yet to ever experience any over heating issues. its never brought up the disc read error screen and plays most games... but the reason behind that is sony has updated the slimline over time with new hardware and lens that there are some compatibility issues with playstation 1 and playstation 2 games but sony has the games that that dont work posted on the playstation website.
Well i dont have much more for today... i hope this helps you feel a little more comfortable about buying a ps2... its a really great system and i highly reccomend this system to anyone looking for some good entertainment with a huge library of games availible that comes at a very reasonable price considering the ps3 is going for $400 where as the ps2 is only $129.99.
