Advantages: DVD, high quality sound proccesor ( but ruined by games soundtracks)
Disadvantages: no wi-fi, bad graphics

Introduction The Sony Playstation is the second in sony's range of home consoles and DVD players and it promises better graphics, sound and gameplay than the first. The Graphics The graphics of the playstation 2 where highly raved about when it came out, however as am writing this review the Sony playstation 3 and the XboX360 have been released which make the PS2 graphics look shabby. In fact the PS2's graphics are barely on par with the Nintendo ...
...The Sound The sound on the PS2 has a lot of capability but they have been ruined by a large number of games which have a terrible soundtrack and it makes the Playstation 2's sound procceser sound bad. Range of features Other than ability to play games on the playstation 2 which is what most people will buy it for, it also provides you with a high quality (but annoying) DVD player. However, unlike the more modern Games Consoles you can't access ... Read review

Advantages: Price, Wide variety of games
Disadvantages: Graphics- Less Games

This was once one of the best consoles on the market and was at the front of the gaming technology world. Now however people are ditching them to get the better, newer consoles.

If it is serious gaming you are interested in, dont worry, as the playstation 2 can still offer this with ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to find, cheap, tons of games available
Disadvantages: none really

I owned a Playstation when they were new, I didn't buy mine right away though. Instead I was sensible and waited for a 1st then 2nd price drop when I bought mine in 1996. New games were still being released pretty much every week so you had a huge choice. I've had my current Playstation for over 8 years now having bought it off Ebay with a few games, a memory card and an extra controller for under £30. It was slightly damaged (the aerial input wire ...
...bit of tape to keep it in place. Games are easy to come by and just keep getting cheaper & cheaper. Extras memory cards & controllers are also still cheap and will work if you ever decide to upgrade to a PS2. The Playstation is a work horse, it has good and bad games but the good ones really make the best of its onboard hardware. Its cd player is one of the best around and is one of audios best kept secrets. Slimline PS1's or original chunky case ... Read review

Advantages: Good fun, cheap
Disadvantages: No new games available

I used to have one of these when i was younger and loved it then and have recently bought another one that both me and my partner still love even though the console is a good few years old, there are some brilliant games for it that are available really cheap from games shops including golden eye and f1 racing which are games i loved as a child and still love now. There is nothing what so ever complicated about the console and how it works compared ...
...get my head around. Value for money on the actual console was brilliant paid around £17 including 4 games for a boxed N64 in really good condition. The only downside is that no new games will ever be made for the N64 so you will have to keep sourcing second hand games. It does not have any internet features found in some of todays consoles but i don't see this as making it any less fun. I would definately recommend it to anyone that quality is ... Read review
