Sony Playstation 2 - Slimline : 'Gaming Giant'

Advantages: Sleek design I no fan : much quieter I No power back switch I Affordable I Wide range of games I
Disadvantages: The lid where you put the games could be stronger

...to spend more time playing the games then waiting to play them. The games fit much better into the tray than the first model of the playstation 2. Also the game disks dont because as scratched as they used to. Finally the analog control ad feels much lighter than the original control pad. Also the console comes internet ready meaning that all you have to do is wire the console up to your internet connection and you can play online. With the original console you had to buy an Internet adaptor costing £20 to do so. Bad Features The tray, where you put the games in, is a flip lid. The lid is a little flimsy but should not break if your not too heavy handed with it. The tray on the original playstation 2 is much better because you press a button and the tray comes out. The new design of the console cannot stand up vertically...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

PS/2 Slimline a real tonic from Sony

Advantages: small and sexy
Disadvantages: is it a fragile kitten

...I should start by saying that I am not part of the PlayStation generation, I'm 44 and my first introduction to gaming outside of arcades was awarded to me as the result of an on line competition when I won a good old PSOne (yes, people do win those draws), that was about 7 or 8 years ago I guess. About 5 years ago I upgraded to the original PS/2 and have enjoyed many late nights / early mornings gaming on that till about 8 months ago when it gave up the ghost. With the launch of PS/3 'imminent' I thought I could wait for that - but Oh No it gets delayed and delayed again and my patience runs out. So a couple of weeks ago I find myself on Amazon making an impulse buy of the new slimline PS/2. What a FANTASTIC little piece of kit, Sony have done wonders in reducing size and weight, primarily it must be said by making the power...

Slimline Playstation 2

Advantages: Small, Lightweight, Looks nice, Cheap , Watch movies, loads of games, online gameplay
Disadvantages: Can break easily, Only 2 controllers,

...The ps2 is a great console although it is almost10 years old. It has alot of features that anyone can use with ease. On it you can watch Movies, Play games and also play online with people around the world providing that you can internet access on it. there are a wide variety of games available for it and they are also quite cheap. The playstation itself can come quite cheap with prices starting at £40 in some shops. You might also want to get some accessories for it such as the vertical stand, the eyetoy camera and the DVD remote if you want one. The only bad points about the playstation i would say are the fact that it is quite fragile and would break easily....

HAS THE PLAYSTATION 2 BEEN ON THE ATKINS DIET!

Advantages: Smaller, quieter, sleaker
Disadvantages: Two controllers instead of one would be nice

...longer possible to fit a hard drive into the PS2 slimline but unless you play online games like FFXII or SocomII this should not present a major problem. Also worth noting is the fact that there are two MagicGate? ports for memory cards so you can still save your position in any games to come back to at a later time. Another smart move is to have an internal Ethernet port for network game play fitted; now you simply have to load the Sony network access disk and link your PS2 to a router to enjoy fun and games with other like minded folk. But why Sony have not included the network access disk in the box is beyond me, perhaps it is to ensure you register your PS2 as you cannot get the disk without doing so. Finally, back to the size of the console and in particular the reduction its thickness which is staggering. The old model is 2mm shy of 8cm...

PlayStation2 Slimline

Advantages: Smaller, Lighter, Quieter
Disadvantages: Flimsy Disk Flap

...I am sure you can tell from the name of this product, Sony PlayStation2 Slimline, that this product is alot smaller in size and shape to its bidder brother, The Sony Playstation2. This new design was released in September 2004 and overall, it is much prefered to its previous because of its weight, size, sound and mobility. In my opinion, the slimline model is much more attractive than the origonal one because it is so much smaller. The thickness of this product has been reduced to under 3cm which is almost one third the thickness of the older version. As a result, the PlayStation2 Slimline looks much more compact and in my view, the smaller the better. Furthermore, not only has the size of the product been reduced, but also te weight too, which again, adds to the appeal of the product. Overall the slimline version has lost half...

Slim Shady Playstation 2

Advantages: sleek new modern design, lightweight, built in ethernet port
Disadvantages: the lid where you ut the games in is a little flimsy

...After having purchased a standard sized playstation 2 console in 2001, I decided to sell my console on ebay towards the end of 2005 when the slimline playstation 2 console was unveilled to the world. Why did I chose to sell the console that had worked for the last 4 years, for a siver slimline playstation 2? The new slimline playstation two has been reduced in size from the previous version by 75%., the weight has been halved and the and thickness trimmed down to 2.8 cm, from 7.8 cm. Equipped with an integrated Ethernet port for network gaming, the new PlayStation 2 sets new standards in the fusion of design and functionality. The slimline playstation 2 has a new flip lid instead of the motorised draw. The flid lid is a little flimsy but I suppose there was no room for a motorised draw on the slimline version. Looks -wise...

PlayStation 2 Review By Vaza

Advantages: Small, loads of games and cheap.
Disadvantages: Small chance of overheating, but so does everything else.

...THE SOFTWARE The PlayStation 2 is the best console of it's generation and arguably the best of all time, with thousands of great games and a large back catalogue of PS1 games, you can always pick up a good game for a bargain. Just because the newer PlayStation 3 is out, doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy a PS2, Its at a cheap price and would cost you 150 pounds to buy the console, some games and get it hooked up online, whereas next gen consoles could cost up to 500 pounds (excluding the Wii, which would take about 250). What I'm saying is, it may be "last gen" but it's great, fun and best of all; Cheap! The PlayStation 2 is a must buy for hardcore and casual gamers alike, if you are casual, play EyeToy Play (camera and game costs 20 pounds these days). If you are hardcore, then God of War and Final Fantasy are great for you...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

PS2, Greatness in Entertainment

Advantages: looks nice not too loud
Disadvantages: sometimes it can crash

...site I got my XBOX from. I got two games with the Playstation 2 when I got it from Christmas; this was a few years ago. I share this console with my brother, so one game was his, I had Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec and my brother has Red Faction, two good games. I recommend you to buy this console if you have not already, there are loads of games that you can buy for it, loads of unique ones also (as I mean unique, I mean that it is not on any other console), If you decide to get this console, have fun with it, I sure did. My opinion on this would be, I had loads of fun on this console, I liked played it everyday, got new games, now that this new shop has opened, which is called Game Station, I now can buy cheap games, that are newish, I got Dynasty Warriors 3, Shadow Of Memories, Enter the Matrix and Timesplitters 2 from there. Games cost...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2)

Eragon (PS2)

Advantages: Good combat system, good gameplay, good graphics
Disadvantages: Linear storyline, too easy, too quick to complete.

...finish it far too quickly, there is a bonus level, co-op mode and levels are replayable which may keep you playing for a while after but it is still over far too quickly. 2/5 VALUE FOR MONEY Due to the poor longevity, this game's value for money isn't good, if you are looking for a few days of fun gameplay, either buy it at the cheapest price you can or rent it but do not buy it for a high price it is too short. 2/5 BONUSES AND OTHER FEATURES This game has actually got alot of bonuses, there is lots of bonus content in a 'find the egg' sub mission for each level as well as a bonus level upon finding all the bonus content. Interms of other features, there is a co-op play mode available which is quite enjoyable for a while. However it always seems that with each level, one of the players is having more fun than the other. In the ordinary...
