overall the only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5. is because the system itself is somewhat flawed

Very reliable system with no known hardware problems

I own systems from the Nintendo Entertainment System(NES)-current systems like Xbox360,PS3,Wii

Overall while this system is all right I would say that Sony has presented a mediocre performance.

You people are just not satisfied until your stinkin' Stinkbox is the top-selling game system in the flippin' country

Though we all have our opinions on the three systems, the fact is that they are all great systems in their own right.

ps2 is a great system is

We needed to replace a slim system PS2 which died after less than 2 years of play

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.

Pros - Slightly better graphics than PS2, online multiplayer function, built in hard drive, 4 controller portsCons - You must buy a stupid thing to play DVD's, online multiplayer function is NOT free, big confusing controllers, online multiplayer function isn't even that good, designed by Microsoft (I await the day where someone will be blue screened while playing HALO)PS2:Pros - Smaller, CAN be used as a portable system, online multiplayer function, plays DVD's straigt out of the box, AWESOME non-confusing controllers, ability to play PSX gamesCons - Hard drive costs extra, multiplayer network adapter costs extra, only 2 controller portsPS2 = Much better

All in all I wouldn't recommend this system to anyone unless you love RPGs

The PS2 is, without question, the best video gaming system

This system is neither bad nor good.

The Sony Playstation2 is arguably the most versatile system out there.

My friend's PS2 stopped reading discs last week, and he kept good care of his PS2.Other than the very prevelant Disc Read Error problem, the PS2 is a great system

I was once a firm supporter of Nintendo, the N64 being a great system for it's time, but now their systems all seem to lean towards small children

I would recommend this system because of the great games it, but beware of the several hardware problems.

where they ask whats the best system

this system is a dream on smoth playing and not freezing and not haveing to worrey about over heating and increadibly durible to boot and since the disk tray slids out no more trying to find the centre of the player wicth scracthes the disk so much when u miss i highly say chunk yore old one and get this console it will be the best console for the price.

The playstation is easily the best system for fighting games.

Overall I still think the PS2 is a solid system

as ps2 is the weakest system currently avilabale

the system will damage too quickit's hard to develop games on this console (except lack of quality)-It has the wort games ever released on a console, except Mary-Kate and Ashley bra-removing showdown-it's expensive (gemecube is cheaper and has some perfect 10 games

The fact that it's the best selling system of all time is testament to how true the title of this review is, and that it lasted 2 lifetimes in console terms

id say its better than xbox ps2 has all the tecnology guncon,eye toy,dance mats, evrything if you want all the tech and an awsome system get ps2

yes xbox is a more powerful system with better graphics but who cares

Playstation 2 is not great system in contrast with xbox and gamecube

IT COULD HARM THE SYSTEM

System works pretty well, but the controller that came with it wouldn't work at all

I love this system because it has memories that no other system has

This is the best system ever if you have many people in your house

In this particular case I would have to say that if you have played with the original playstation and still have the games then the system is worth the cost

I thourghly think you will enjoy this system

the system freeken freezes up aqll the time

Best system Ps ever made

This system is terrific - and what better way to compliment your purchase by buying BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEALED PS2 games for $9.99.

PS2 is a great system.

Second, the system isn't all its cracked up to be when taking care of it.

Good system with good graphics but like the X

I hate this system, easily the worst throughout 6th generation (competed against Gamecube, Dreamcast and Xbox)

I love how solid the system was built

PS2 was a great system but now is paling to the other systems, Each system have there big tradmark games,XBOX-HaloGamcube- Mario,Metroid, resident

woulda been awesome but the decal skins make the system look like an L.A. lowrider

Great system

System works great and the controllers are OK but the UV cord didn't work at all so I had to order a new one before I could start playing.

The playstation 2 while a great off-shoot of the psx and ps1 (the mini one) is not the best system to buy (in my own opinion).Look at the facts,PS2-2 controller ports.online gaming can be free depending on the game.you may use dial-up or a broadband connection.requires memory cards.familiar and easy to use controllers.great excusive and non exclusive games.great graphics.dvd capable with no purchases

but if you want the most unlimited vareity of video games ps2 is bar none hands down the best system avilable.

I know this system was used however it seamed like the system was on its last lag

It's just an overall good system, It has a DVD player, a CD player, and it plays games

This system is by far the best system for moslty any person so take my recenmondation and

PS2 is possiblely the best game system ever created

(relive classics like Final Fantasy VII, VIII, and IX, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Ape Escape, Pa Rappa the Rappa, Spyro 1, 2 and 3, Crash Bandicoot 1,2, and 3)The system looks sleek and has a nice designCons:The system is not very durable

Overall, the Playstation 2 Game Console is an amazing system

The system did not work and was a waste of time and money.

I lay the system down flat when I store it, as well as when I play it.

It has been a great gaming system and it also plays CD's and DVD's

The system is nothing more than a unusable system with no cords or controller

Let me reiterate, this is not a bad system.

Now for the gamecube, its a nice little system recomended for ages 3-12 being chalked full of kids games, but also has nintendo classics, which wont be for much longer seein how microsoft is currently in the process of negotiations after buy nintendo in 2003

Came perfectly on time and in great working condition with no complications or hassles just a good clean system as they said

The Playstation 2 is still one of the best systems of all even though it is the older one, it is still geate

you want a good system buy a GameCube or

, COSTThis is a great system for many reasons, so get it

IT IS THE BEST GAMEING SYSTEM

The system is flawless as far as games go, several great games out there to choose from, but the system itself isn't all that special

The Playstation 2 is, without a doubt, one of the best video game systems of all time

The Plastation 2 is an awesome system

However, the XBOX seems to be an extremely well made system.

The PS2 is a nice, solid system

No doubt, the best system I have owned!

(the PS2 won't heat up as quick either, that's if you have the thick PS2).Overall, this is the best system to buy right now

Otherwise the system is pretty good

System seems to work but the controller does not

Overall: 8.8 Nice System very powerful, but Microsoft makes its unique games also for the

I personally own all three systems and like them all

There's a reason why it is a popular system

its still a great gaming system, wish i had kept mine instead of selling

system was working

If your just looking for some good quality time with a powerful system, the PS2 is 4 YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps2 is the best video game system, its better than game cube, x box or any other non sony systems

The PS2 is a very advanced (consumer wise) gaming system that can keep the right person amused for several hours.

The system works perfectly and i'm happy to have it for my mother in law "we can easily get another

Those of you who feel that the PS1 is the most important video game system of our time are probably the same people waiting in line for 48 hours for the new systems

The PS2 is the worst looking system of the threee, however, that's not saying too much

All in all it's a great versatile system.

I mean yes XBOX has better graphics but that doesn't make it the better system

PS2 vs. GamecubeThe PS2 obliterates this system on nearly every level

And as so many others have pointed out the PS2 is an enjoyable and capable system in it's own right

it's such an awesome system

Overall: 8.5 Im not goin to bash this system but its more for

Xbox has a lot of good games that are also on PS2 and some good games of its own, Knights of the Old Republic, but PS2 is lasts longer because its not on the crappy Windows system (some people disagree but its true if you take care of your PS2)3

yeah sure, at some stores you get ATV Offroad Fury(Or something like that) but other than that it's just the PS2, costing 200$.Overall-9/10 PS2 is an awesome system with tons of great games and it was the first next-gen system to come out

not the best but very good).i have all 3 systems and the gamecube has the best graphics for resident evil zero.very compact and portable system (even has its own handle)some may disagree with me but its the only system u can play animal crosing on-Overall a kid based system with good graphics and some excellent game

PS2 has a HUGE variety of games, is the best selling game system and has Final Fantasy

The overall system was great, would have been better with the controller.

My other older systems, such as the SNES, Genesis and N64 have performed well without any problems

The system has a much better history of not breaking down.

I just say get all three, because all of them are very good systems, I don't care if one says one systems better than the other, they're all good!

The Sony Playstation 2 is a great video game system and hasbeen for well over a decade

This system has the weakiest graphics (its been out the longest) and its system is the most fragile out of the three

System continues to show "Disk Error" and refuses to play any games

I've never enjoyed a system so much in my life.

No doubt, the best system I have owned!

I mean, it's like the best gaming system everywhere

PS2 has got to be the worst game system out of gamecube and X-box

The Sony Playstation 2 is one of the best systems out there, It has what I like to call the total package

great system, even plays most all playstation 1 games o.O

The PS2 is by far the best-selling system in the nation

The PS2, I think is the best system overall of the three.

The ps2 is the best game system out there

This is in my opinion the best game system.

Now, evolving into something more than just a mediocre game system, comes the Playstation 2.The first gaming system to implement a DVD playback system and the first to implement backward compatibility.

The PS2 is definitly the best system yet

Do not be discouraged by some of the other reviews here that quickly bash the system for having the 'slowest processor' or 'bad graphics' when compared to XBOX.

hard drive_____Cons_____Not the most powerful system

great system, love it

The Playstation 2 is an amazing system, packed to the max with an emotion engine processor, free to play online games, great library of games spread out on thousands of different genres as well as the best sound and controller compared to any system

I personally prefer the older generation systems, but I am only able to find a few REALLY good games

This is a great system for anyone who loves the original

The Gamecube is the best multiplayer system out there

Overall 8/10A great system with very few flaws.

I have owned a playstation 2 for 5 years, and while it is overall a decent system there are several glitches that severely take away from the overall gaming experience.

I have loved this system for years and will continue to love it for many more years to come.

This system is the best

IF you want a good system get AN

The PS2 is an awesome system

great system, but was a little

Great system

The point which makes the PS2 the better system in some respects is it's superior selection of games

The Gamecube is also a great system for multiplayer action.

This system is not so bad that you shouldn't get it, but you should know some things about it before you do

The system breaks a whole lot.

System works pretty well, but the controller that came with it wouldn't work at all

The graphics of this system I found were only rivalled by the X-BOX, and even then they surpassed that system

gamecube, ps2, and xbox are all great systems and they all have their good points and their bad

My system ran strong until November 2009 when I began to experience a problem with its ability to read a disc

This systems pretty good.

well its an amazing system to play if your an old school gamer however it takes why to long to get here

I think that this system is good for all ages because they make games for kids or adults and some games can even be enjoyed by both kids and adults at the same time

but it's a small price to pay to ensure the system stays cool and able to run without overheating like the junk playstation slim.

The system is really cheapily made (It don't last very long at all, breaks too fast)2

Everyone is always saying PS2 is the best system out there, so I'm going to start with the downside of buying a PS2

Although the Playstation 2 wasn't perfect, with some of the overheating and disc read problems, I would still consider it one of the finest game systems for it's time

For those of you out looking for the best system to buy, The Playstation 2 is without a doubt the best one on the market.

Those facts combined with the expanded game play possibilities provided by the linking of a Game Boy Advance to the GC for specific games make the GC an immensely enjoyable system

PS2 is a great system like many people say but its not that good

I would recommend this system because of the great games it, but beware of the several hardware problems.

Although the PS2 is a bit dated, it's still one of the best gaming systems around

The PS2 is a great system.

I love the playstation 2 system and it has so much more better games than other systems, but the thing I do not like about it is that after having it about 2 years it won't read any discs and you might as well throw the machine away.

All in all I wouldn't recommend this system to anyone unless you love RPGs

This so far is the best system ever,there is no greater word i could use then perfect

It was one of the most popular systems made and almost everone has one.

This is a good system

and the system is cheaper

Why didn't Sony fix this problem?I think the Old PS2 is a great system because of the cool design, good graphics, the ability to use a Hard Drive, great selection of games, a disc tray, and, most important

I don't know many people who have used all 8 megs of their memory card, and if you want to go to a friend's house, you just carry a small memory card rather than your entire bulky system

XBOX is the best system however the PS2 and Gamecube Is hard to find out who is winner and i will tell you the answerGamecube-Best games made from the good Company NINTENDO PLays GBA games Better Graphics than PS2 4 Controller ports VERY portible and Loads really fast

Besides these big negatives, PS2 is beautiful and has some great games and an awesome emotion system

Now that it's $150, this is without a doubt the best system for the money out there.

PS2 is one of the best video game systems ever made

Its a awesome system and with the new ps2 out its even better

If you have the money and want a portable media system that plays games, DVDs and CDs then the PS2 is really convenient and manageable.

system works fine.

Besides that the PS2 is an awesome system and you can get a good 4 or 5 years of fun out of it.

PS2 is the best system out there

this system is the best crushes

Glad to have the system but disappointed in the condition because I would have shopped around more had I known the true condition.

Usaully game makers make games for the ps2 because its such a popular system

being the cheapest system, and although it doesn't play dvd's (awwww, so sad too bad), it has made up for it hardware by totally devoting itself to gameing.

which system is less costly on your pocket

I love this system to much my favorite gaming console of all time!!

Some of my favorite games cannot be played because of the faulty system

This is a great system mostly because of its huge game archive

So what, you can play DVD"s without the dvd componant, but, duing certain dvd's, like the Matrix, it won't play right, The System is too expensive for what it is worth, The graphics are so blocky, all af the games are either sports, or final fantasy

Still working to this day, truly one of Sony's longest lasting systems.

I have to admit, very nice system

The Playstation 2 is also "Backwards Compatible", meaning that the system can recognize most Playstation 1 games as well

First off, those giving this console a poor review due to a missing controller or a defective system...give those reviews to the seller, not the console

I like this system.

This system is great with the best titles greatest hits and great

I have owned this system for almost 4 years now and it hasn't dissapointed me yet

So, overall, the Playstation 2 is a good system when it comes to the selection of games and the gameplay of the games

I've never believed that this is the best system, I think it's all preference.

hard drive_____Cons_____Not the most powerful system

The other reviewrs say this is a bad system because of the graphics but they need to no that this system is not bad because of the graphics

This is a great system

The Playstation 2 system has the most games AND the best system out there now

Gamecube is a cool system I agree

This is a pretty good system because:

I was deeply impressed with this outstanding system

It is a great system.

The system is good since you can play dvds and

Now I'm saying that the other 2 systems are bad its just that I prefer the Ps2

Now I'm saying that the other 2 systems are bad its just that I prefer the Ps2

I now have to purchase the cords and another controller and hope they get here before Christmas because this is a gift for a 12 year old who loves older game systems.

With its new price, I would efinetly recomend this system to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

System worked fine

This system is good for some reasons, 1

One thing to keep in mind about the playstation is that it, like much of sonys hardware, is not the most durable system out there.

and I think it's a pretty good system

that PS2 excluding the fact that PS2 is a great system

While the system is clean and has no dents or scratches and turns on, my main problem is that it would not load my ps2 games at all

This was an inexpensive, old school system which is what my kids have been asking for

PS2 classic fat system

hard drive_____Cons_____Not the most powerful system

Each system is great in its own way but people who bash are wrong because just because they dont like the games on the system doesnt mean they should bash it

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.

Besides the problems it's a nice system if you want awesome variety of great games than pick up a PS2.Pros: huge variety of games, some of the games look good still,you can you can still buy the games and controls at the store, DDr and Guitar Hero gave it new lifeCons: "disc read error" is annoying,some games look bad,at the time not as powerful as Xbox or Gamecube

This is the best game system out RIGHT NOW

this system.(this does not mean other systems are bad).

I think this is a really good system for someone who likes RPG's and third person shooters

all the ps2 is a great system and has great games but the graphics lack and ps2 has been well known to have many problems in the

It's not the fastest system when it comes to loading the game, but to me it is worth it

Plays PS2/PS1 games, it's like two systems in one

Better systems from that era would be both Gamecube and Original Xbox, even Dreamcast is better than this!Just buy one of them three instead, in fact, next year, I'm getting and original Xbox

Don't get me wrong, the Slim PS2 is a great system as well because of its compact design and built-in network adaptor, but it doesn't feel the same as the old PS2.The old PS2 has been through 4 successful years

It also means that the system can cover a variety of ages, so more than one age group in the household can enjoy it, unlike the relativly age baised gamecube and xbox.

If you want a good console system with a large variety of games and will play DVDs right out of the box, go with a PS2.However...

This is the best video game system ever because of it's ability to play PS1 and PS2 games, dvd's, and cd's

There nothing the old style Playstation 2 ,great system ,reliable and heavy duty, plays playstation 1 and 2 games

This system never disappoints.

Without a doubt the XBox is a more powerful system, being simply a decent computer with an odd OS

And Many new PS2 games are still coming out, so this system is not dead yet.

Simply because the Playstation 2 is one of the greatest systems in video game history

It has been a while since the PS2 was released and it is still a great system that stands up today

Great gaming system and outstanding price

On the upside, the system works well, and he is happy with his purchase.

the rumor about a certain sony hardrive doesnt work out as planned) the best launch title(s) and the newest in the dynasty warriors series (that is my most favorite game when my ps2

the rumor about a certain sony hardrive doesnt work out as planned) the best launch title(s) and the newest in the dynasty warriors series (that is my most favorite game when my ps2

won`t be going on the PS2,XB or GC nomore

This game station is definately the best video game counsel out there, first of all it has the best games, way better that gamecube(Gamecube only has little kid rated e mario games that suck), and it is also better than xbox i think, because i would say that the games are equal (in the xbox and ps2) but the xbox is way too big and hard to move it around like if you are going to go on a vacation, also the controllers(PS2) are a lot easier to use than the big, bulky controllers of the xbox, plus i am used to the controllers of the playstation two because they are the same as the regular playstation.
