 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.
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.

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.
 Great At First... September 23, 2007

At first, like most, i thought this was the most wonderful thing since sliced bread. Then after VERY minimal use, and under 6 months time, i got that wonderful "DISC READ ERROR." After reading a ton on the forums, calling sony, talking to other places that sell them, this is very common for this console. Sony wants $45 (plus s/h) to mail your console in to repair it. It's so stupid that this console didn't hold up to very minimal use and sat around for under a half a year and is broken. i am saving up for the ps3 now because this stupid thing isn't worth the money to fix it when i could buy a new one today for $129.99. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SONY!!! I want my chunky style back!!! It never had any problems and was under warranty from sony.
FACT OR FICTION????? November 17, 2006

At the time I am writing this, I am waiting to recieve it in the mail. That being side, I may have to just send it back as soon as I get it. Why? because of the confusing description that is on this webpage. When I oredered mine the review about what being ONLY PAL COMPATIBLE means was not here after reading that,and calling around to other game stores I now know that it means this playstation will only play European games/and or it will only work with a tv that works in Europe. NOW, the question is, is this just a typo by AMAZON? WHY would they be selling a PS2 on their U.S. site that only will work in EUROPE. Is it fact or fiction? That my friends, is what I am waiting to find out when this package comes to my door. It is a real shame that Amazon would sell this if it is only workable with products made for Europe. And even a bigger shame if they just made a mistake in the description and have not taken the time to correct it. There are a few reviews that state how satisfied they are with the product and how it works with their games but did they buy this one from amazon or some place else? I will write back when I get this just to let others know if mine worked or not. If anyone has brought this system please leave a review that states you brought this silver version from amazon and how it works for you. Thanks.
