| ps2 review | |||
| more games than xbox
built in dvd player |
|||
| compared to the x-box:
there is no cd burner, no built in memory, there are slightly poorer graphics and sound quality on the same games as the xbox poor lazor quality |
|||
| well i had the original ps2 (the big black one) for 2years. but because it is now so poor at reading, it can only read damaged games. it is the same story with this one. it is 2years old and yet again i have started haveing reading problems. you clean the lense with a dry c.d. or dvd cleaner. but you will only get about 6mounths bofore cleaning the lense dosen't make any difrence.
memory cards are quite expensive. the dvd player is infact quite poor to my sony dvd player which is 6 years old. on the plus side it has alot more games than xbox. and better ones as well. like grand theft auto which always came out 6months bofor xbox. but then again it has games that are only on xbox like forza motorsport. there are some sound problems on the ps2 version of NFSU2. i do not reccomend this product as the ps3 is out. |

| Why, Sony, why? | |||
| Sleek case design. | |||
| First off, don't expect quality from Sony.
I along with thousands of other people have had problems with the PS2's laser pickup withing months if not weeks of buying the PS2. The software for the most part is crap. The only reason there are a few good games is because you have to hit the mark once in awhile when you're flooding the market with complete BS. Just look at Vice City. This game is ridden with almost as many bugs as the average PC game, but it's a console game. Way to go, Sony! Breaking down the console barrier! Also, the PS2 claims DVD playback but at least the first batch had severe issues. The contrast would fade in and out as if you were trying to watch a Macrovision-protected DVD on a normal DVD player through your VCR. Also, the PS2 DOES NOT PLAY VCD OR SVCD. What the fück?! So it's not even a real DVD player, then. And how long can Sony get away with charging $100 more for their system than the superior GameCube? Coem on, who do you people think you're fooling?! Do you really want 10-year-olds who don't know Atari-ET from Goldeneye as your main demographic? |
|||
| Don't get the PS2. You're better of with a GameCube, hell, even an XBox. | |||

| Excellent | |||
| Getting cheaper all the time, now only £160 most places. The fact it plays dvds is cool, but not of great significance. The games are great, there are more of them, they come out earlier and are cheaper to buy than for the x-box and the gcube. It looks stylish (although how about a silver one to match modern equipment sony ?). The controller is perfect, logical, contoured and best of all small and light enough to hold for hours without getting sore (are you reading microsoft). the sharpness of the graphics can be greatly improved by chucking the scart that comes with it and replacing it with a high quality one. | |||
| DVD playback is average at best, so its fine to watch dvds on if you cant afford a dedicated player, but the quality you get will be nothing like as good as a 200 quid dvd. The quality of the overall unit is suspect (the laser unit packed in on mine after about 18 months, meaning a complete overhaul at almost 100 quid was on the cards - i ended up replacing it with a ps2+game for £160 deal), so buy a year extension to your 1yr standard warranty. | |||
| Great console, by far the market leader, beats the opposition hands down (the fact it is more expensive than both its competitos yet still outsells both of them by 6 to 1 is proof itself). There has never been a better time to buy. | |||

| Playstation is very good that is why i was going to purchase a playstation 2 but when i tried to process my order from comet the price went up from 158.99 ti 159.99 I know it is only a pound but all they pounds for a big company like comet sure add up remember that when you are buying online buyer beware that is what I say

| Well ive finally used them all. My first ps has now been shelved due to the fantastic graphics and game play of these new high power machines.
There are some brilliant games out there and new ones coming all the time. PS2 is good and far better than the first ps's but honestly if you have not used the xbox yet you really must. Ok its big (powerful) controllers are big (so use others) but the game play and graphics are of computer quality. Lets face it thats what it is. outstanding and good value for money at the moment. The best system I have seen and I am not that keen on Microsoft products but hey when something is this good. |

| Quality Product | |||
| This machine is really solid. It's very well made. The library of games are huge and the exclusives are games that you simply must play! The ability to play PS1 games extends the library even further. The games may be old but some still stand up today ( super puzzle fighter is more addictive than cigarettes). The pads are fantastic. The design is truly excellent, everything is instinctively at hand. I've played it for 5 hours straight before and not felt any aches or pains. The dvd players a great adition and is usable out of the box. You can stand it on it's side which is a nice space saving feature. | |||
| Not as powerful as the competition. Ony scokets for two pads. You have to buy the memory card separate which is £30. | |||
| It may lack power but it's clever design and huge catalogue of games make it the sensible option. | |||

| PS2 Rules | |||
| The Ps2 is by far the best console around, with games like GTA vice city and the getaway, xbox and gamecube can't get anywhere near Sony | |||

| Sony's Best Console | |||
| The PS2.
When the PS2 was first released, people went mad trying to buy them. Although the hype has dropped slightly, people are still continuing to buy them because they are the best console around. With the much awaited Metal Gear Solid2 - Sons Of Liberty just around the corner, PS2 sales are about to increase again. If you go out and buy this console today you will not be dissappointed with its fast and furious game play. |

| Worth Buying! | |||
| PS2 is definately worth buying if you haven't already got a DVD player.
The sound quality is amazing, the DVD picture quality is not great & the graphics of the games aren't as good as my PC's. However, two player games on the PS2 are extremely god fun. A good buy at around £200, but be prepared to fork out extra cash for an extra control pad, memory card & a remote control if you plan to watch DVD's. |

| The machine of 2day!!!!!! | |||
| This is the don! In other words its the best games console we have seen since the dreamcast, and people would rather buy a PS2 than an PC. Some brilliant games.. Time Splitters, GT3, GTA3, Fifa 2002 ETC Get one unless you have a dreamcscast, theres not much difference. | |||

| PS2 The Best | |||
| Now the PS2 is £200 it makes it the best console ever. When i first purchased the PS2 i was dissapointed with the quality of games, again Sony have improved this greatly and its starting to show its real power. With a possible price drop before christmas it could become the domination of the games industry. Dont be fooled by the complaints this is the ultimate machine. Why have a Xbox when all it is, is a PC with no keypad or a Gamecube in which Nintendo wont even comment on the specs, whats wrong Nintendo, AFFRAID you should be!!! | |||

| Sony make electronics, Nintendo & Sega make games consoles. With one decent game, and a poor quality DVD player, don't waste your money. I'm gald I sold mine.
Wait for the Gamecube or the Xbox, or buy a Dreamcast. |

| I spent £300 on a PS2 plus £££ on games, don't beleve all the hype. I am still playing my Dreamcast and I'm using my PS2 for the DVD. Sort it out Sony - lets have some decent games | |||

| They Are Wicked, But Don't Buy One Yet! | |||
| Please listen. The Playstation is and will be even more so, the greatest machine on the planet. But at the moment it isn't delivering. Sure the games are good, they're great fun, but they don't warrant forking out £300. The good games will surely come, but not yet. I would honestly trade in a night with Angelina Jolie to have games such as Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill, that is how good they will be, but they will come out later when the price of the playstation goes down. So just wait and play the PSONE until Sony start churning out the quality games. | |||

You come home from a hectic day at work and need to wind down. What do you do ? Plug in and play the PS2 ! Ok so it's had a bad rap from the start but take it from a trusting, true gaming freak that this ''is'' the most amazing, ingulfing experience I've ever lived. It's sleak, sexy, bold and barely in it's teens. It is like a fine wine, given time it will mature into something so smooth and velvety that it'll be well worth the wait. Don't knock it - just buy it and let yourself go......... |

| Dissapointed? i am | |||
| Having been a big fan of the original, then upgrading to Dreamcast i was then very pleased to hear about the PS2s release, but once i finally managed to get hold of one... the dissapointment was unbelieveable, it was rubbish. its bulky, ugly and the games are so nothing special apart from looking nice. my advice, get a dreamcast while u wait for Microsofts X-Box to arrive on our shores. | |||

| This is a great machine, with 128bit of pure power. The playstation 2 also includes a DVD player which works as good as any normal DVD player. This product is well worth purchasing if you have the money. You may want to wait untill the price drops. Also look out for the competition against the PS2, like the Game Cube and the Xbox. | |||

| The Sony Playstation 2 is slim and sleek, built in modem, good graphics and perhaps the best and tthe most popular video game console there is. | |||
| No hard drive and no fire wire | |||
| What i ove about it is the huge library of games, svelte design, capability of doubling as a CD/DVD and a host of other features. | |||

| Playstation 2 is a much slimmer model than its predecesor. And definitley a neater change and upgrade to being one of the best video games consoles ever. | |||
| No major problems. Only because I owned the earlier model, I can say that the graphics of the X box are much better than that of the Playstation 2 | |||
| The Playstation 2 can be called the next genertaion console. Much ahead of its time. May be a tad pricey, but worth it for such supreme quality. | |||
