mostly response to the xbox 360 fanboy
to make this relevant: i own the orig ps2 and love it, so therefore i would love gameplay on this. as for the differences i understand that there are technical issues but for peopl elike some of my dorm friends who only play casually and value space this is perfect (they love it).

to the xbox 360 kid review: honestly, get your facts straight before spouting nonsense like that. i wont touch the tech aspects (such as the different TYPES of ram involved in both units, the amount of vram, the teraflops they can poop out, floating point numbers, or any of that). what i will talk about is your talk of gameplay. it is true that square is departing from the ps. oh no, ffxi is coming to xbox! scary. oh wait no it's not. k i'm being a jerk, yes it's true that the games aren't going to be exclusive to ps3. however, I've got two words for you, and this is a HUGE deal in console wars: backwards compatibility. and before you spout of "the 360 is backwards compatible" it's only partially backwards compatible. on top of that the playstation line has a far larger game library to draw from.

i'm not claiming one's gonig to be better than the other, but i'm defending the ps line before people just write it off when the xbox 360 comes out this year.

and as the previous poster said, ign does NOT claim that the xbox 360 is far superior.

and also the ps2 slim is nice if you're only casually using it and need the space/decor.

Should Have Been Free!!
Sony thinks that they can make up for the PS2s short-comings by releasing a new one right before the next-gen consoles are released?! This should have been exchanged for all of the old PS2s cause they break the DAY after the warranty finishes. Sony has lost yet another customer. Save your cash for the Xbox 360.

Original PlayStation 2 is better
Don't buy this, the original PlayStation 2 is better than the new design.

In response to "a kids review"
this "kids review" stated that ign.com said the 360 was more powerfull overall.they said nothing of the sort.in fact, with only number to go off of, ign was reluctant to call a winner.

however, if tech specs are all we have, then the PS3 is clearly the winner.pushing 2 teraflops, it's twice as fast as the 360, and boasts a GPU twice as powerful as the top-of-the-line NVIDIA GPU on the market today that usually run about $500 apiece.this does NOT mean that the PS3 will cost $1000 dollars (that would be ludicrous), but it DOES mean that it's graphics prowess will be unmatched.combine that with dual RAM of 256 each, plus a 7xCell processor (that's 7 microprocessors in one chip!) verses 360's 3 core chip, and you can start to see the advantages.add bluetooth wireless controllers (7!) and it's clearly the winner.

XBXO 1.5 vs. PS2

I don't even know if the XBOX 360 can compete with the PS2 this fall. The PS2 is releasing great games. XBOX 360 games look mediocre and not next generation.
Microsoft can release a new system ,but without games to back it up they will end up losing more money on their ambitious project.

GREAT CONSOLE
Between the Nintendo GameCube,XBox and PlayStation 2,PS2 is the best because you can play any PlayStation 1 game(you can`t save them with a PS2 Mem. Card you need a PS1 card) you can play D.V.D.s or C.D.s you have some of the games have OL play(Online)it also has good graphics,good sound abilities and uses the PS1 controller,which is the heaviest but easiest controller to use.XBox was great for graphics,online play and that you could put your own sound tracks in some of the games.GameCube was great because it has smooth graphics,and some excellent games that all could have fun with.
PlayStation 2`s Best Selling game was 2002s Grand Theft Auto:Vice City which i have completed myself a dozen times.
PlayStation 2 has been the best of the 3 consoles and more expensive by £/$ 20-50 but its "generation" is gonna change in 2006 with the Sony PlayStation 3,MicroSoft XBox 360 & Nintendo Revolution making their debut and they will have the SpotLight and the WWE SmackDown! series(PlayStation) will no longer be officialy for PS2 or the Grand Theft Auto games unless they make one at the end of the year plus other gamesand one day PS2,XB&GC will be defunct just like the PlayStation 1,N64 & DreamCast.PS2 Will always be a fun console even though it beginning to crumble in sales and games.
psi heard there will be a The GetaWay 3 coming out on PlayStation 3(is there realy any point apart from that Sony are gunna create it).

Works great as a DVD player too!
I'm gonna be completely honest. I bought this more as a DVD player than for the games! Is that weird?But it works to wonderfully, no second thoughts at all. I've had it for almost 3 years now and I love it!I do play a few games on it and have never had any problem with it's performance.It's a great item to so both. Save the $$$ and get this for both your movie and gaming needs!

The Greatest Console Ever!
Playstation 2 is the best console in the world - if you don't believe me buy one and see! There are so many extras in the world of Playstation 2 like singstar, eye toy, as well as exculsive PS2 games. And there is already the newer design to the PS2, it's called the Slimline, it's the size of a DVD case, seriously. And what makes it better is that Playstation 3 will be coming out next year!

Don't buy this!
The playstation 2 console is a great machine for video games... until the warrenty runs out!After that it breaks down, has disk error and everything else.Save your money and buy the XBOX 360!!!!!

CRAAAAP mine broke
one christsmas my family received a ps2(yr 2000)it broke for no reason x-mas 2003 its been a yr and a half since then any way after it broke i was crushed I have no clue wy but i abandonded

Perfect Cordless controller
I've had this for almost a year now and I don't use any other controller but this.
Battery lasts so long - even though I let it sit there for long time and every time I come back to play, it's still good. Definitately it lasts 50+ hours easily.
This is definitely built to last. My 18month old daughter has dropped this controller number of times and it still functions 100%.
There seem to be little lag, but I can't ask for more on this great cordless controller.

This is the best PS2 controller available.
I am huge believer in 1st party peripherals for consoles, I find them invariably higher quality and more compatible with other hardware. That said; this wireless Logitech controller is by far the best controller available for the PS2.

Quality ****1/2 (4.5)

The controller feels great in your hands, the materials seem to be of the greatest quality. I have owned this controller for 6 months and I think that it actually feels better today than it did when I first bought it. My only gripe, and the reason for the 4.5 rating is that the D pad seems somewhat flimsy and doesn't have the solid feel of the Official Sony Dual Shock PS2 controller.

Battery Life ***** (5.0)

Incredible, this controller takes 2 AA batteries and they last a long, long time, in fact I have logged over 100 hours in a game (without rumble feature) and the batteries are still going strong. This is in addition to about 25 hours in GT4 with the rumble feature turned on.
The manual states that the battery life is 50 hours with the rumble feature on, I think that for the first time in history, a manufacturer has low-balled the battery life of a product.

Overall, this product is a more than capable replacement for your PS2's Dual Shock controller, and it's wireless! I absolutely love the clutter that this wireless controller eliminates, and I now have great respect for Logitech products. This is THE ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE accessory for your PS2.

Almost perfect!!
This is a great control, the batteries last long (I think even more than 50 hours without vibration) and it works almost perfect. I would have given a 5 star if the X bottom didn't stay pressed down (sometimes) when I am playing. Maybe is the logitech design that the X bottom doesn't work always right. The orignal ps2 control, in the right, the bottoms( square, triangle, circle and x) are on a flat surface and that's why it works great. But this logitech design, the surface is not flat that's why the bottoms don't work as good as the original ps2 control. They should design a better control, but with flat surface for the bottoms to make it as functional as the original ps2 control.

Best replacement controller - cordless or otherwise
I'm glad Logitech fixed the D-pad functionality with this new controller. I had an older (corded) Logitech controller where it was almost impossible not to generate a diagonal move when all you wanted was a pure up/down/left/right input. It made fighting games and even some shooting games impossible to play. Fortunately, this model doesn't suffer from that defect. The buttons and joysticks have a good crisp feel with slightly (and I mean very slightly) more dead space under the buttons than the standard Sony controller. By this I mean that fraction of a mm that you have to push down on the button before the plastic 'cap' engages with the sensor under the button is little bit bigger. I got used to making more definitive button pushes to adjust for this.

With the AA batteries in it, this unit has got pretty good heft. It's bigger size makes it more comfortable for adult hands than the stock Sony controller. The additional weight is actually a nice feature because the controller feels stable under my thumbs without my needing to squeeze as much with my other fingers. The plastic also has some texture to it (unlike the smooth, glossy plastic on the Sony controller) that also makes it easy to hold onto. Those two features mean less hand fatigue since you don't have the grip the controller so tightly which makes for very comfortable extended gaming sessions.

I've been using mine for about a month now and have never noticed any lag or glitchiness in its response. This is a great relief to me since the room is full of other wireless gizmos like cell phones, cordless phones (also 2.4GHz) and wireless routers. Works great with the 'shooter' type of games (SOCOM, Splinter Cell, etc.) that I like to play online. The first set of batteries (included) is still going strong even with the vibration function on. This is a great controller for the PS2.

Greatest Third Party Controller Made
I read these negative reviews on this controller, and I honestly wonder why theirs doesn't perform flawlessly like mine does. Us military guys are known to break everything and go through equipment like its nothing. I have yet to manage to break this controller or find a flaw. It's fallen from my desk countless times, I spilt a drink on it, even my rucksack fell off my bed and landed on it and there was no problem with it. As long as you maintain the batteries in it (50 hours should keep you goin for a while if you are a casual gamer, and if you're a hardcore gamer then you should be used to spending money). Another note to mention is not all wireless routers will interfere. My router is aprox. 6 inches away from my PS2 and still the controller functions as you would expect. If you need a controller don't waste time getting the sony dual shock when Logitech has a surperior pad. ... Read more

Good system, not quite the best
But you can't blame Sony. A vast library of games could be found. Now they've got the new PS2. Slimmer and better than the original PS2. Speaking of original, many games began on a Playstation. Though it has longer load times compared to Xbox, it got a head-start on games. Something that makes it better than Xbox is DVD. Unlike the Xbox, you can play DVDs WITHOUT any extra equipment required. But Sony is like Nintendo and Microsoft, making their games, for their system(why not?). PSOne games can be played on it. Maybe... about 8 PSOne games aren't compatible with PS2. Sony hasn't given in though. It's still the most prefered console.

PS2 overall
For christmas about 3 years ago i got an XBOX well that night when i was playing it something went wrong it told me the controller wasnt plug in when i knew it was so i had to returned it.After that i got a new XBOX and over the time frame i had itkept saying to sendit to microsoft but i never did. so about a year ago i bought a gamecube well that thing just sucked it had no gamesi hated it. so finally about 2 months ago i traded my XBOX,GAMECUBE and GAMEBOY SP in for a PS2.And let me tell you the PS2 is the real deal this thing has so many games has no problems . Every week i go out and buy a new game and the controller is so easy to use. so if you dont know what to buy im telling you i give PS2 4 stars.

Time to choose
My review is about which system you should pick- X-Box or PS2?
Well first of all x-box has way better graphics. but the thing that really matters is games. PS2 games to me are for five year olds. For example, Sly 2. What 11 year old kid wants to play as a raccoon? My point is that kids today are different. WE LIKE VIOLENCE!!!!!!!! So if your considering a PS2, you should think of the person who will be playing it.

PS2 is simply the best!
PS2 has a massive variety of great games and amazing graphics.
You can't get bored with it.

Gamecube is simply to babyish. They try to fight Mario against Jak or Ratchet.They are simply way to overated by biased people.
All the people I know that prefer Gamecube ( and there are barely any at my school) are sad loners who like their nerdy little board games and crap like that. Their graphics are also overated. If you have found that you prefered your Gamecube to a PS2, then you really must have been playing the worst games on PS2. There are better games then Mario on the PS2 which are also 3+. I'm not allowed 18+ games like GTA but I can still find great games. I'm not biased against Nintendo because I actually prefered my N64 to my PS1 but the Gamecube just let down the whole Nintendo franchise.

I must admit that Xbox has great graphics, a great online system and even some great games, but they still simply lack that magic that PS2 has, even though it is a more powerful console.
PS2 just has some games which are exclusive, and unfortunately to Nintendo and Microsoft, are some of those games which put Sony in a better legue.

Best Console Ever
I am not saying this because I hate xbox No but as I have both ps2 online pack and xbox i know what i am talking about. although xbox has got some cool graphics but still it sucks. WHY? i'll tell you. It was made by microsoft for only gaining more profit. Microsoft as all of us know is a big cheat. There games cost $50 but turn out to be a bit of joke. most of the games like fs2004, dungeon siege, train simulator, zoo tycoon suck. Microsoft only finds new means to robco0mmon people and one of the best means is xbox. Now lets come to ps2. It was developed by Sony after researching 5 years. They know what they are making. if you say that ps2 has lower graphics than xbox. True but that ishardly noticeable. I f you are a pro gamer you wont like graphics but the quality of games. Which games can compete with Gta series which xbox hasnt. secondly in the long run ps2 wins. Why? Read and understand it carefully. When i was searching in google about xbox2 i found that it wont have the compatibility with xbox games. so if you are planning to buy xbox2 after a few years all your xbox games will go to dump as certainly you will consider of selling your old xbox. but ps3 it will have the compatibility with ps games. there fore even if you wish to sell your ps2 yopu will still be able to play and your favourite ps titles. Now that are the reasons why i like ps2 the best. (gameboy is a joke therefore i didnt think it was necessary to include that. that sucks more than xbox)

Nintendo Entertainment System
All you PS2 and Xbox fanboys are wrong!Even the so-called "Nintendo Fanboys" who support the gamecube are the most wrong of all.The true best system of them all, is hands-down, the Nintendo Entertainment System, or as we call it in the l33t and cool world, the NES.

It has far superior games...like Duck Hunter...HAh!Take that with your puny Halo and whatever FPS's they have for PS2.Plus, the games come in these little plastic boxes, while you have flimsy, easy to break CD's.And as far as graphics go, there is no comparison...polygons per second?I bet there are more little tiny boxes of color in the NES than you can count, well, before you wander off to do something else.

Bottom line is, well...don't take fan boy wars seriously.It's just a bunch of made up stats.All systems have their good points.

leader of the pack for a reason
People who bash PS2 have no idea what they are talking about. Most people say xbox has the best graphics, and halo, but what past that puts it over PS2, nothing! Anyone who buy a console for graphics has no idea what they're doing. All the best games lie directly under PS2's belt: the GTA series (xbox, don't try to take credit for this one, sony has had GTA for years), all major final fantasys (questionably the best series ever created) Devil may Cry, resident evil (gamecube wannabes, resident evil was MUCH better with sony). What does xbox have, halo, thats it. As for gamecube, it really isn't intended for the mass market. Lets face it, the mass market is teens. A vast majority of games made only for the gamecube are oriented toward kids, and often lack challenge and clever gameplay.

if your looking for versatilaty, and storage space, PS2 has everything you need. PS2 is the only system that is made to stand on its side or lay flat on the ground and still play just as well. Also, you can play CDs, as well as watch DVDs all on the PS2, try doing that with a gamecube, o wait you can't, the discs won't fit! As for xbox, tlak about going overkill. A hardcore gamer doesn't buy a system for storage space and the ability to mix there own music, they want games!

Now for innovation. Sony is like Mac, it does everything first, then rivals try to leech off of it, but it never comes out quite right on anything but the original. Which company was the first to have discs? The first to go online? Where did GTA, the defining game of my era (me being 16) start? The answer for all three is sony. it has the most user friendly design, it has easiest to understand, and most comfortable controllers, and who the hell cares if you have to buy an adapter for four player games, games that support four players are few and far between, inless your wasting your system's life span playing sports games. So before you come over and crap on sony, consider the facts, it has been, and still is, on the the top of the charts as far as sales go, ever since it was released so many years ago, so don't try and lie that any other next gen system can top this powerhouse.

Horizontal 3D Surround Sound
this is realy cool!works great!comes with what you see 3 speakers and subwoofr.sounds great! it even looks cool!

Intec 3-D Sound System for PS-2 PlayStation
While styled nicely to match the PlayStation PS-2 game unit, the Intec system is a POOR performer. Cheap, plastic "dimestore" construction of speakers and components are first on the list, while tinny and somewhat LIMITED volume and audio are next. Only 3 controls on the front (volume, bass, and surround on/off) leave VERY little control over the audio.The subwoofer "breaks up" at anything above half-volume, and has NO real bass effect. The surround sound is more like an enhanced "spacial effect" rather than true surround. Speaker cords are WAY short of adequate to allow any true surround placement.Treble and high-end audio is uncontrolled and unpleasant ("shrill")to listen to over a long period of gameplay.This item LOOKS like it costs about $25 to make...Avoid it !!(unless you have no care about GOOD audio for your gaming...)

cool
It looks cool. And it works good.It will shake your room to bits.It works good on racing games

3D Surround System
I just have to say...WOW! Not in a good way, oh no. Alike others on this site I can't say ENOUGH bad things about this system. If you're looking for a no name brand distorted piece of crap...then today's your lucky day my friend. I just gotta say...If you want surround sound, get SURROUND SOUND! Bose, Klipsh, or something along the line is great. This piece of crap sounds like a handheld radio that you get in a cereal box...and that's sugarcoating it. And anyways..the last time I checked...you can't surround a room with only 3 speakers...much less crappy ones with plastic less sturdy than a disco ball...Horrible

the sound that never ends
this is an overal good sound system but lacks in subwoofer qualities. it puts out a great sound and and has good volume controll. I would recomend this product but would also recomend shopping around because i think tou could get a better system for the price

Waste of money!
I wish I had read reviews of this before shelling out the money!I can't say enough bad things.They are terrible in every way imaginable!

Something Better
If you are looking for a real surround system buy the Kinyo 4.1 or 5.1 home theater systems.These things are powerful and massive.Even though they are only 50 and 80 bucks.Just plug the audio outputs from the PS2 into them and bam-you got real sound.

buyer beware
Ignore the previous messages from kids writing the glowing reviews. This system is exactly what you should expect for such a low price.Everything about this system screams [poor].[Poor] plastic, tinny speakers, virtually no bass out of the sub. Keep the volume low or else you'll go nuts playing the action games.My tv has no audio inputs and I wanted to see if the sound would be better with this system.It's not. It's pretty much what I expected, but it doesn't even look nearly as sleek as the pictures show.Pretty much a waste of my money. ... Read more

Best thing since sliced bread
PS2 is the best system, hands down because all of the games to choose from, but i still say, there is no reason to buy a PS2 unless you get GTA3,Vice City or San Andreas because those games are best games ever invented. PS2 gets a bad rap because they say it doesn't have updated graphics but people only that when praising the stink box and the gaycube. PS2 has the best games like GTA, Manhunt and Max Payne. Just a overall fun system, can u believe it once cost $300.00 and it is such a small item.

The best of 3
I have often seen people bashing about Xbox and Gamecube but let me tell you one thing . The only thing that is better on Xbox are graphics and speed. NOTHING ELSE. About games Ps2 wins.Like car simulation show me a game which is better than Gran Turismo. Like Shooting games. Show me a game that is better than Metal Gear Solid. The only game which XBOX has got is Halo. But thats it. November 2004 is even going to be for PS2. Why? Metal Gear Solid 3 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas only coming on PS2 platform.However let me also tell you another thing. If you are above 20, like violence and abusive language get an XBOX. If below 10, like childish games get a Game cube. But if you are between 10 to 20 yrs old, like all types of games, and want to play DVDs on your console, get a PS2. Belive me you wont be sorry. I have 7 yrs of gaming experience

Playstation 2 is good, but not GOD!!!
First off let me start by saying, this is NOT going to be a PS2 bashing. Though we all have our opinions on the three systems, the fact is that they are all great systems in their own right. That is to say you won't go wrong no matter which one you choose.

Let me reiterate, this is not a bad system. It has several great games (Final Fantasy X & X2, Grand Theft Auto, WWE Smackdown Series and several others). Though it must be noted that Gamecube and XBox both have great exclusive titles. The graphics are outstanding and they may not even be the best of the three, but they are great, certainly better than anything we had just a few short years ago. They definitely have more benefits than everybody else (free online gaming, the Eyetoy, and more games. As far as controllers go, I like Gamecube's a bit better, but this controller works wonderfully well too and is well laid out. (You won't be searching for the buttons like you do on XBox controllers, that is my one true complaint with that system) Anyway Playstation 2's biggest downfall is in the fragility of the system itself and though I have experienced no problems personally, I have heard of a few from close friends.

1. Disc Reading Error (You've seen this many times, I will comment no further.)

2. Malfunctioning Disc Door (It just stops opening when the button is pressed. You then have to pull it out and push it in manually which can cause it ultimately to break.)

3. The power cords tend to wear out faster than average. (Not a big deal, the cords are fairly cheap, but it could present a fire hazard.)

None of these things would be a huge deal except that the PS2 comes with a measly 90 day warranty (Do I hear 1 year anyone?)

I'm not trying to say this system is junk. It does have durability issues more than anything. I personally prefer Gamecube but only by a small margin. All of you who immaturely spout "PS2 rules, Gamecube & XBox suck" are not only lying to yourselves, you're doing a great disservice to the readers who depend on these reviews to make an important decision.

The bottom line is the Playstation 2 is a great system and definitely worth the money, but it is not gaming perfection as some make it out to be. Try Gamecube & XBox as well. All three are extremely fun!!!

PS2 the best overall video game experense of all time
The PS2 is the best, its controller is the best, the games are the best, expecially when it has the biggest game lybrary so far with all the new systems today. If you have a kid who does not know how to play one of thoughs bulky video game controllers from the Xbox or Gamcube, the PS2 is your choice. The PS2 is the best and thats all I got to say about that.

PS2 IS THE BEST SYSTEM EVER MADE
PS2 is a great system. For only $149.99 with a free network adaptor, you can't go wrong. You have to buy it! Also if you are looking for a great online game with ur network adaptor, buy SOCOM II: US NAVY SEALs. Great game! The PS2 is simply amazing. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

What good is a game system without fun games? For gamers who seek a fast dose of fun from their PlayStation2, we've got this special game pack, which includes the new PlayStation2 console (with controller), a bonus Dual Shock 2 controller, a PS2 vertical stand, and three games (Madden NFL 2001, SSX: Snowboard Supercross, and Ridge Racer V). At the heart of the PlayStation2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine processor, which promises to bring lightning-fast gameplay and unprecedented graphics power to your TV screen. We've packed in three AAA family titles to get things started.

EA Sports' Madden NFL 2001 fully utilizes PlayStation2's advanced hardware with ultrarealistic rushing, passing, blocking, and tackling. You can play the built-in AFC and NFC lineups, or even create your own player. The graphics power of the PlayStation2 brings a new level of detail to the game. As play progresses, you'll see the field collecting scars from some of the rougher tackles, and the players will show some wear of their own, too.

If you can pull yourself away from the football game, there's also SSX: Snowboard Supercross. Game critics are raving about this fast-action winter title, which includes unconventional racing environments and a wide variety of boarders.

The game pack also includes Ridge Racer V, the latest title in Namco's popular racing series. This graphically stunning racer truly showcases the horsepower of the PlayStation2. The vehicles have more polygons than we can imagine, and their reflective surfaces are just dazzling.

To help you go head-to-head with your opponents, this bundle also includes a bonus Dual Shock 2 controller. Also, we've included the official PS2 vertical stand, which turns your machine into a tower of sleek gaming power.

PlayStation 2 Review
I went out and bought the PlayStation 2 the day that it was released; sure I had mine reserved since mid February so I was guaranteed one.I walked into Toys R Us to a sign that said that there were no systems available to the public that had not already reserved one.This was a blessing seeing as there were no lines to get the system.So I just looked around a little bit in the "R"Zone picked up Tekken Tag Tournament and took my pre-sells up to the counter and purchased my system and games.

Throughout the whole PS2 launch fiasco in Japan with the games not holding up to the expectations of most, I was a bit weary of the system's potential.I had seen the less than stellar movies and screenshots of the games and saw the comparison between DOA2 on both the DC and the PS2.At that time the DC version looked remarkably better with the anti-aliasing.So I was waffling whether to even worry about the PS2 and wait for the Gamecube and XBOX. When in February I saw that Toys R Us was pre-selling the system I thought that I should just pick one up and then decide later if I wanted it or not.At least I would have one reserved if I decided to get one.

During the eight months that followed I still wasn't sure, I still hadn't found that the games were anything spectacular, nor did I find the graphics to be anything I haven't seen on the Dreamcast.So now it was the day I picked up 2 games, SSX and TTT.Took them home and set the system up put SSX in and turned the system on.SSX had great graphics, good control, and nice concept, nothing unfortunately that I would call spectacular.I then popped in Tekken Tag Tournament, my impulse buy.Nice big characters, great graphics, and Tekken 3 control.This is what you would call a safe bet, you know exactly what to expect, nothing innovative just a tried and true formula.

I then decided that I would play around with the menus in the system, kinda see what did what.I set the time and looked at the PlayStation settings, popped in Resident Evil Survivor, and not even the PS2 could save that game.Got a DVD it played without a problem, a CD, the same.But I felt a little cheated, with almost 30 games available at launch, I was able to find 2 that I thought I would enjoy.I was really hoping that I would find at least 5 must buy right now titles much like I did with the Dreamcast. It just doesn't seem right.Overall, it makes a good CD player, DVD player and PlayStation, but so far not a good PlayStation2.

I think this system is great... just needs games.
I didnt purchase a bundle system, but I did get a PS2 and love it!!! The system is way more powerful then Dreamcast which I also have.The Dreamcast does have a better software lineup then the PS2 right now, but by this summer into the fall expect to see some great games.In the lines of competition (XBOX) (GAMECUBE) I will get them both, but Nintendo is concentrating on the younger crowd again, and who knows what the XBOX holds... personally I dont trust ..., but I will get it anyway.The PS2 will ... now, but byde your time my friends this summer is a PS2 summer!!..Dont worry about Nintendo or Microsoft.. The PS2 will keep up with them.

Should be better.....
For being such a highly hyped gaming system, you would think it would offer more.Maybe Sony over hyped it and my expectations were too high.The fact that people are comparing the PS2 to the Dreamcast should be very scary for Sony.PS2 should be the latest and greatest and blow the competition away, not be still evolving.If I buy a new desktop computer, I expect it to be better than one that is a year old.It shouldn't take a year for the PS2 to get to the point where it is a great system because guess what, the competition is coming after the PS2 very soon.The DVD feature is nice I must say.So if you want a DVD player that also plays games well, go for PS2. Save you money for now and see what Microsoft and Nintendo do if you want the latest and greatest in gaming.If you want something now for gaming only, go for the Dreamcast.You'll save some bucks so you can buy a bunch of games.

Solid system
Everyone seems to be comparing the Dreamcast with the PS2 and making some legitimate gripes. However, I ask this of people... if the PS2 came out before the Dreamcast, would you be making the same gripes? If the PS2 came out over a year ago, I'm sure they would have the full capabilities that Sega presents and then some. Also, many complain about no internet connection, etc... The PS2 is capable. What Sony has not done is sell the components to make it a realization. It's all a marketing ploy so they can build up hype and sales. Give the PS2 a year, and it will surpass the Dreamcast in gameplay, selection, and capability.

I personally found the PS2 attractive because of its backward compatibility and the ability to play DVD's. I will say that the games are quite good for being such a young system. Also, the DVD playing is sufficient. Although the controls are awkward because you have to use the analog controllers, it still suffices as a DVD player. There is a third party remote, but I don't trust third part equipment. I'll wait for something better. As some have said, the vent is quite loud at times. The hum will be annoying at first esp. if you place it on a hard surface, but it's something you'll get used to.

Should you get the PS2? Yes. Should you get it now? No. The price will definitely go down with time, and it'll be more affordable then. Also, there will be more games later this year. Also, for those who don't have a DVD player, this system will keep you entertained two-fold. If you're going to compare it to the Dreamcast, ask yourself where the PS2 will be in equal time. You can't compare a 5-year-old to a new born and automatically say that the 5-year-old will be smarter in the long run just because it can read and the newborn can't. ... Read more
