Sony Silver PlayStation 2 Console (Slimline)

In my books, this has to be one of the best consoles I've used yet. As an upgrade from the original PS2, the difference is amazing and I'm glad I chose this.Actually, I had a PS2 a few years back, but I've tried all the consoles since then, and nothing compared to the fun I got of the PS2. Luckily, I had my very old PSX tucked away somewhere, so I've been using that. And the great thing about this upgrade is that you not only get the enjoyment out of current PS2 titles, but older PSX games as well. I know, not a new feature, since the original PS2 did this, but it's still valuable, considering there are so many great PSX titles.If you think the box the console comes in is small, you should see inside. I'll admit, its been packaged very economically - no space wasted, so putting everything back in will be a laugh one day (should the day come!). But I couldnt believe how small the console was - just 9" by 6", and 1" thick! About the size of a short novel, or a bit larger than a DVD case. Theirs fewer vents though - just a couple of slots at the back, and at the front. The controller is improved too - the buttons have a matt surface which are no slip and very comfy, as with the silver plastic. The analog sticks are much better quality too, and the controller actually feels lighter. The only thing I would say is that the lid does feel very flimsy, but I don't intend of giving it a rough time, so I don't worry about it.Their is no On/Off button at the back like the old PS2, so its just a case of pulling out the thinner AC cord when your not using the console for a long time, or you put it on Standy when your taking a break. Upon switching it on, their are a few software changes, but nothing worth celebrating, unless you get excited of a new "PS2" logo when you switch it on for the first time. Somehow, mine new the time and date without having to set it.. can't explain that yet! You'll need a memory card to save your systems settings by the way.So what else has changed? Theirs the infa red port built in for the DVD player - no need for the adapter. The disc lid of course - now actually opens without a motor to stop dust being induced. The noise is also significant - its literally silent, which brings me onto a few points which I think some people having cleared up. Firstly, yes, it DOES have a fan built in. As you switch the console on, it wirls around like a laptop to blow away dust, and to test it basically. It's just as well its there though - when it starts to whirl as the console gets hot, it blows out alot of hot air through the vents. Luckily, I've found some small extra fans that can be attatched via the USB port at the front to buy.As far as entertainment goes, the PS2 is stronger than ever. With a catologue of hundreds of games - both old and new, this is the perfect console. Its portability allows me to simply take it from one room to another (when the antiques roadshow is on...) in minutes, because I bought a seperate AV cable for just a few pound which I leave hooked up to another telly. And I don't think any other console at the moment can provide this portabilty, entertainment value, and money value (games pre-owned for less than £10) apart from the Playstation 2 Slimline, which is by far still going strong!(P.S - this silver version will attract less dust)

I am so pleased with this.. I kept all my games from years ago but my console had broken, there’s no games better than the ps2!Did not take long to arrive, was packaged well so no bumps or breakage. 1 or 2 scratches but apart from that, it honestly looks brand new. All is working great, and very easy to set up. I’m very happy with the product and would highly recommend!

Ps2 works fine my games work however in the browser menu the memory card shows however when I try save ANY of my 3 games it will not work as it says no memory card inserted.

What i got was ps2 broken didnt work at all 1 controller with 2 buttons broken r1 r2 no steering wheel or pedles on emailing seller about this he sayed pedles werent included or steering wheel but amazin sayed they were i got cheaky email from man stating he didnt want to argue thoni was only asking about other items . I had to go buy another ps2 from cash genorators n my area and it worked fine ovsly that shop dont check there machines before they buy them as thats cash gens policy really disapointed but will never be buying anything from them again -10 stars

I loved the color and I love the fact I can play my games again.

Awesome product, the sellers helped me on the spot with some issues, could not recommend more. Five stars 🌟

I decided to buy a PS2 again to replay some older games, as well as games I didn't get around to playing when I first had a PS2 (which got the "Disk Read Error" issue). Unfortunately the power adapter isn't built in to the console like the later PS2 Slimlines, which seem to be very rare and unavailable on Amazon. It's still an improvement over the original PS2 though. It cuts out unnecessary features like the hard drive expansion area, which only one or two games ever used so that the console can be smaller. It's also quieter and uses less electricity. It's just a shame Sony had to mess it all up with the PS3, but thankfully they've got things back on track with the PS4 now.

Missed having a ps2 so got i got one agen. Works really well. The ps2 casing is scratched it just looks bad. The controller does not work missing a pin in the connector.
