What they fail to mention is that the PS3 (80 GB) is not 100% backwards compatible with all PS2 games, so even if a person did have the $400+ required to take full advantage of the PS3, they still might need to buy this system as well to get the most out of what Sony has to offer. I would recommend this to any potential gamer on a budget for the selection of games alone.I've noticed a few people giving this system bad reviews because the PS3 is out. I bought this system when I got bored with my old Game Cube. The selection of games is wonderful, and the console itself is sleek and efficiently designed.
Durable. Quick shipping/delivery. As long as it is maintained (not kicked around, dropped off a building, thrown in a pool etc)., you will be satisfied with this purchase. Appealing black color. Reasonable cost.
I wish I had of thought to purchase this game system from an amazon buyer first. This game system may be a used game system, but it functions like just the same as the new one I bought for my daughter.
add into the mix that Sony still releases new games for this platform, i'd say pound for pound it's as good a system as the Wii for a non-HD monitor.there's more than one reason why Sony sold more of them currently in 2009 than the PS3 - overall it's the best gaming system Sony has in the USA.if you're thinking of getting one, research how many games you think you will play, and if it's a goodly number i HIGHLY recommend getting a PS2 over a PS3. i strictly got this for Nectaris - an rare Playstation title, but expanded to Goblin Commander and Soul Calibur II (loved it on the Xbox, and it's just as fun on the PS2). just picked a one up at the $99 mark. as long as you have a standard definition TV/monitor, you should have years of fun for a GREAT price.and just for the record, i'm an old RTS man. it will also be a backup DVD player. i used to own:Colecovisionsega genesisNEC turboduoXboxand currently own a Wiifor about $100 i picked up a machine that plays a combined library of over 1K games AND DVDs. with analog outs (digital optical audio included) and Internet access (albeit slow dial-up), this is quite a nice package with great multi-functionality.the controller is MUCH more physically comfortable than the Xbox controller.
If you want a cheap video game system with awesome cheap games, the PS2 is the product to have.The console only comes with one wired controller. It has an excellent library of CHEAP games and there are still some games coming out for it now. I'm not sure what to say. The PS2 has been around for awhile.
