Sony Playstation 2

Product Rating

Sony Playstation 2 Get ready for the 128-bit revolution that is Sony's PlayStation 2 – greater processing power, visual clarity and unrivaled gameplay. PlayStation 2 will play the majority of original PlayStation games as well as DVD movies. Just as the PlayStation brought interactive gaming to an unprecedented mass market, PlayStation 2's combination of breathtaking digital graphics, superb sound and DVD video will open the doors to a new computer entertainment experience in the home. The handsome looking console can either be stored horizontally or vertically, and more than 270 titles are being developed worldwide. The next generation of Dual Shock Analogue controller is included with the pack, with analogue buttons which sense how hard you're pressing them and react accordingly. In other words, the more you press down on ‘X' if it's an accelerator button, the faster you will go. The Dual Shock2 is also backward compatible with the original Dual Shock analog controller.

  • CPU 128 Bit ‘Emotion Engine'

This console is EXCELLENT!!! You can play games on it, play DVDs on it and you can play CDs on it. I strongly recommend this console because of it's graphics and it has more games than any other console in the world. I couldn't recommend this console enough. Outstanding piece of technology. I recommend also that you get a PS2 slimline so it doesn't take much space. I disagree strongly of those who say that this console is less than 4 stars.

We bought this back in 2000. It's probably one of the best electronic items we have purchased so far. You can play games on it, you can watch DVD's on it, therefore eliminating the purchase of a DVD Player (Unless, of course you want to use it to record). Strongly recommend this product as it doesn't just get forgotten about in the back of a cupboard somewhere!
