Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-15 Summary: Excellent Choice I Made ... This was a wonderful choice for me. I'm not into all the high tech game systems or games. It was also difficult finding one at a reasonable price without just having to break down and buy a new system. It was shipped to me in perfect condition. I could find no flaws any where. I really appreciate the fact that I can stand this system up which makes it perfect for my entertainment system. The smaller one would've been okay but I don't think it would've been the same. Any future products being sold by Mr. Eastland that ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-01 Summary: Very Reliable ... I have had my PS2 since 2004 and now in 2009 it still works!!! I got mine used at my local pawn shop "used" and I have never had a problem with it!!! The things I like best about the "original" system is that it has the expansion bay and the built in fan to prevent overheating, its the only 6th generation game console thats still in production. There are some problems with the PS2, like if you play PSone games on it the PS2 will only play PSone games and not PS2 games (this has never happend to me but I've heard from ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-05 Summary: Great gaming system and DVD player! ... I have had this PS2 for over four years and have never ever had any problem with it. It still plays games perfectly and plays DVDs perfectly as well. The loading time is a bit slow, but for this price, I can't even complain much about that. Even though there are more sophisticated gaming systems with better graphics, you can't go wrong with the Ps2. Highly recommended! ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-11 Summary: Playstation 2... money well spent ... Well today I was just curiously reading through the ps2's low review ratings and I read a couple of things that i found interesting. for starters i'll tell you about my experiences with ps2s. I bought my first ps2 from an EB games in june of 2001 when i was 13 so it was about 8 months after the north american release on the system. And to this day, I've never had any real issues with my ps2 it still plays games and dvds well to this day. the only problem i ever had with it was it wouldnt play the older blue back discs ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-03 Summary: High. Quality. ... I've always trusted Sony's products, and I've always liked the Playstation, so when I got this in 2004, I was pretty excited. Its extremely compact size is a big plus over the original PS2, and the fact that it lacks the powered sliding disc drive of the old PS2 (a common failure point) makes it incredibly reliable. I have put this poor unit through a lot of abuse, including accidentally dropping it against a hard surface, and leaving it on for literally weeks at a time. It has never missed a beat. I think it has frozen ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-08 Summary: So many games, such a tidy little package ... The PS2 has managed to stay relevant in part thanks to this newer version with the tiny dimensions. In addition, the variety of available games is so great, and the array of quality games is so great, that it should stay relevant for many years to come. The only drawback I've had with my PS2 is a reluctance to play many DVDs. The PS2 has failed to read several brand new DVDs that played fine on my standard player, while many unblemished DVDs did play albeit with skipping issues. That's not a big deal considering how ...more

Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | The biggest driving game ever returns in a hot new city and new era. Return to the mid 80s amidst palm trees and pastel beach in tropical Vice City—a mecca of glamour and corruption. The car-jacking thugs of Grand Theft Auto move in a world populated by bikini-clad beauties and gold chain-wearing crime lords, but the rules remain the same. Explore a highly detailed city landscape packed with vintage 80s Ferraris, motorcycles and speedboats, and build a rep with the city's gang lords...more
[2] ... Review | How big is this game? Even publicists for other games end up talking about Vice City when they call our office, babbling in the same helplessly intoxicated way that afflicts everyone who plays it. The achievement of Vice City (which, as everyone knows by now, is set in the 1980s and offers an all-new, Miami Vice -inspired story) is not only that it manages to live up to an absurd level of expectation, but that it takes the game places that fans of its predecessor Grand Theft Auto 3 never dreamed of,...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-28 Summary: Beautifully Atmospheric ... I played this game directly after I finished the first in the series. While it isn't as outright scary as the first game, it effects a nice sense of personal and psychological horror akin to movies like Session 9 or Jacob's Ladder (in fact, Jacob's Ladder was one of the inspirations for the series). The game looks beautiful for its age, and the musical compositions are superb. The characters are well-written and acting for the most part, although sometimes the main character, James, was hard for me to take seriously. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-02 Summary: Fun to beat over and over again ... This was one of the first games I beat on the PS2. I found it a couple years ago at EB Games by shear luck. They didn't even have a manual or box for it, lol. Which resulted in getting a Xbox green case. Anyways, about the game. Silent Hill 2 has a great story. Theres different levels to put the difficulty of the monsters AND riddles. I've never seen a game where you could set game difficulty to medium and riddles to easy. Sure the graphics aren't kick a$$ perfect, but for PS2 its pretty good and once your into the ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-29 Summary: Great game, but lots of scratches ... Great game, but disc has a LOT of scratches. Doesn't affect game play, but story scenes are choppy and lock up. Kinda annoying, but for the price I would say it was worth it. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-17 Summary: A truly horrifying materpeice. ... Silent Hill 2 is, in my opinion, the best game out of the 6 silent hill's released to far. They have somehow managed to create a truly terrifying game without succumbing to cheap thrills, cliche storyline or anything of that nature. I'll split my review into pros, cons and middle ground, meaning it can be considered both a pro and a con. PROS: This game is truly terrifying. And there is no cut-off age to enjoy it. You may be too young, but you are never too old. All the music is absolutely gorgeous, and is also terrifying ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-12 Summary: One of the best games ever ... Other people have written some pretty extensive reviews on just how great this game is. I'll keep my review short. This is one of the scariest and best games ever on any system to this date. ...more

So, I decided to purge my shelf of about 15 or so duds I had managed to acquire over the last 5 years for my PS2, and with my shiny new store credit, I purchased "Shining Force." I know this series has been around for a long time, but I had never played it, and the game promised real-time fighting with elements of strategy, right on the cover! OK, so the cover description was completely misleading. Instead, "Shining Force" is simply monster-bashing goodness, in the spirit of "Gauntlet: Dark Legacy," with a bit more ...more

Did you know the following facts about PS2?
The device was poorly received, with some major features absent from the first revisions of the hardware, and has thus far experienced very weak sales in Japan, in spite of major price drops [5].
V3 has a substantially different internal structure from the subsequent revisions, featuring several interconnected printed circuit boards.
When the PlayStation 2 launched in America in October 26, 2000, Sony sold 510,000 units within the first 24 hours.
Sony has also made a PVR/DVD burning consumer device that plays PlayStation 2 games called the PSX.
These included a PCMCIA slot instead of the Expansion Bay (DEV9) port of newer models.
PS2's opening day console sales eclipsed the previous record of 225,000 made by the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.
Hardware sales remained strong until 2004 saw the console apparently approaching saturation point.
In September of that year, in time for the launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (the best-selling game during the 2004 Holiday season), Sony revealed a new, smaller PS2 (see Hardware revisions).
In preparation for the launch of a new, slimmer PlayStation 2 model (SCPH-70000), Sony had stopped making the older PS2 model (SCPH-5000x) sometime during the summer of 2004 to let the distribution channel empty out stock of the units.
PS2's opening day console sales eclipsed the previous record of 225,000 made by the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.
There are also some disputes on the numbering for this PS2 version, since there are actually two sub-versions of the SCPH-70000.
To this day, the PS2 holds the record for the most consoles sold in a single day as well as the record for most consoles sold in launch day in America.
