General Comments

After handing my original PS2 over to my brother when I got my Xbox a few years ago, I recently decided to get myself the slimline model off Ebay fairly cheap, and I must say that despite some minor faults with it I'm rather happy. I've also got an Xbox 360 which I am selling due to lack of use, quite frankly most of the games for it are too pricey and seem to be aimed at more hardcore gamers. Whereas there are plenty of games for casual gamers like myself on the PS2. I have no reason to spend over £250 or whatever the RRP is for a PS3, given the amount of time I'd probably spend on it. The PS2 suits me perfectly.

Sadly, the graphics aren't exactly mindblowing anymore but they're still very neat. Some of it's top titles such as GTA can be bought really cheap now. The slimline model is a lovely size and weight although I do find it a bit stupid how it doesn't have a main power button. And to top that there still seems to be plenty of life left in the old dog yet, it's stood the test of time well.

That's enough of my rambling anyway. All in all, I would recommend the PS2 to anyone, especially those who aren't serious enough about gaming to fork out for the likes of the PS3. Probably the best console around if you ask me.

    This is one of the great consoles and the main let was the graphics on some games, the console was great in its time and as a gamer I was very happy with it, the range of games was great but it ran a little too long and should have been updated as soon as the Xbox was released.
