This was a replacement PS2 as our son took one to college with him. Shipment came fast, and there were no problems with merchandise. Good seller

PS2 is the best system, hands down because all of the games to choose from, but i still say, there is no reason to buy a PS2 unless you get GTA3,Vice City or San Andreas because those games are best games ever invented. PS2 gets a bad rap because they say it doesn't have updated graphics but people only that when praising the stink box and the gaycube. PS2 has the best games like GTA, Manhunt and Max Payne. Just a overall fun system, can u believe it once cost $300.00 and it is such a small item.

I have often seen people bashing about Xbox and Gamecube but let me tell you one thing . The only thing that is better on Xbox are graphics and speed. NOTHING ELSE. About games Ps2 wins.Like car simulation show me a game which is better than Gran Turismo. Like Shooting games. Show me a game that is better than Metal Gear Solid. The only game which XBOX has got is Halo. But thats it. November 2004 is even going to be for PS2. Why? Metal Gear Solid 3 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas only coming on PS2 platform.However let me also tell you another thing. If you are above 20, like violence and abusive language get an XBOX. If below 10, like childish games get a Game cube. But if you are between 10 to 20 yrs old, like all types of games, and want to play DVDs on your console, get a PS2. Belive me you wont be sorry. I have 7 yrs of gaming experience

First off let me start by saying, this is NOT going to be a PS2 bashing. Though we all have our opinions on the three systems, the fact is that they are all great systems in their own right. That is to say you won't go wrong no matter which one you choose.
Let me reiterate, this is not a bad system. It has several great games (Final Fantasy X & X2, Grand Theft Auto, WWE Smackdown Series and several others). Though it must be noted that Gamecube and XBox both have great exclusive titles. The graphics are outstanding and they may not even be the best of the three, but they are great, certainly better than anything we had just a few short years ago. They definitely have more benefits than everybody else (free online gaming, the Eyetoy, and more games. As far as controllers go, I like Gamecube's a bit better, but this controller works wonderfully well too and is well laid out. (You won't be searching for the buttons like you do on XBox controllers, that is my one true complaint with that system) Anyway Playstation 2's biggest downfall is in the fragility of the system itself and though I have experienced no problems personally, I have heard of a few from close friends.
1. Disc Reading Error (You've seen this many times, I will comment no further.)
2. Malfunctioning Disc Door (It just stops opening when the button is pressed. You then have to pull it out and push it in manually which can cause it ultimately to break.)
3. The power cords tend to wear out faster than average. (Not a big deal, the cords are fairly cheap, but it could present a fire hazard.)
None of these things would be a huge deal except that the PS2 comes with a measly 90 day warranty (Do I hear 1 year anyone?)
I'm not trying to say this system is junk. It does have durability issues more than anything. I personally prefer Gamecube but only by a small margin. All of you who immaturely spout "PS2 rules, Gamecube & XBox suck" are not only lying to yourselves, you're doing a great disservice to the readers who depend on these reviews to make an important decision.
The bottom line is the Playstation 2 is a great system and definitely worth the money, but it is not gaming perfection as some make it out to be. Try Gamecube & XBox as well. All three are extremely fun!!!
