Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console

I bought this as a present for my boyfriend. We're short of money and I knew I could never afford to buy a new one, or a new PS3, so I looked on ebay to see what was available.

I got this PS2 Slimline console for 78 pounds, complete with two memory cards, 13 games and all accessories.

It came the next day and was exactly as described and in perfect working order. If it had been in the original box I would have thought it brand new!

My boyfriend was exstatic and we've hardly spoken since, as he is plugged into this thing most of the time now and I have been relegated to the bedroom to watch my tv programmes.

So, if you want to spend more time with your other half, I don't recommend you buy one, but all jokes aside, my boyfriend is really happy and so I'm happy.....plus I can now watch Emerdale, Corrie and Eastenders without critism :-))

Excellent item, made my two teenagers very happy as theirs had just given up. used to play guitar hero 24/7, very happy boys

Great value for money package including games, controllers and memory cards. Especially liked getting slimline version of PS2.

most of the games are not in working order.i pad more den normal because of 10 games but 7 of thes games are not working with this ps2

the fact that it eas quick delivery and postage costs were the plus points. unfortunately i have a problem with the ps2 itself contacted the seller as i am having problems with disc not reading so cannot play games. asked seller for ideas why not working. seller only replied that 1 game was not working but ps2 ok so i may have bought damaged goods disgruntled customer

The US - always getting games from Japan that never see the light of day in the UK. Being a little jealous of the gamers in the US I had always wanted to buy an NTSC compatible console. The reason why I opted for a PS2 was because there are a lot of games made for the PS2 and it is backward compatible. And unlike the GameCube, where you could buy a regional overdrive disk to play imported games without shipping the console, the PS2 would have been a little harder. So an NTSC PS2 it was, with a big collection of games to choose from, for both the PS2 and PlayStation, now open to me to import, I would not easily get bored anythime soon. So a good investment if you would want to have access to a bigger selection of games, and without chipping your home console, and a bonus is that if you have a PAL console already, then the leads can be used for the NTSC console without any problems!

The reason why I didn't opt for a PS3 was because I had heard people have had problems with backwards compatibility, and the thought of paying quite a bit more for a PS3 just to play games from the PlayStation and PS2 era was a little silly. I can still see myself playing on my NTSC console in three years time, which is well worth the money I've spent.

There's always a cost with gaming, but even importing games from the US can be cheaper than buying in the UK (but still varying from game to game and supplier/delivery costs), so this should not put you off.

Now, to open an even BIGGER selection of games, I would need a Japanese console, a few lessons in Japanese, and a Japanese dictionary...

We bought as a replacement item as my sons had broken. The item can be used in conjunction with all his other ps2 items. The item was exactly as described and even came with some games that he had not already got. This item was good value for money, clean and in full working order.

Thanks very much!

needed a cleaning disc running through to stop it freezing but other than that, absolutely thrilled with it.

Because a negative review is written, I do not expect a personal e-mail commenting on my experience of buying form this person. Not what is expected at all. I hope this puts an end to it.

Smart and much more compact than the standard version, much cheaper than the PS3, good substitute if on a budget, but would still say it was worth upgrading to the PS3!

good contition... everything arrrived at the righit time n all item were in good contidition ....

thank U

I like his item very much it was a very good buy it was good for the price.my kids love to play on it

Excellent toy to spend those lonely evenings, or just an excuse to invite friends over to play some singstar, buzz or even eye toy! I already had a PS2, but I switched to the slim version, as it is so small with all the features of the old one! It fits much better anywhere, and its one less weight when moving house! Highly recommend it if you want to get a video game console and don't have the money for a PS3 or XBOX360. Another great detail is that it reads DVDs as well as any DVD player.
I must leave a final remark in terms of resistance. The slim version seems way more fragile than the older version. The DVD compartment on the old version is quite resistant, and it opens and closes accessing a button, while the slim opens via a button, but it's closed by pressing with the hand, which in my opinion is a bit dangerous if handled by children (dangerous for the PS2, not the kid!).

The product was well packaged and delivered really fast which we really appreciated as it was meant for a present. But unfortunately the sender forgot to mention that the computer doesn't like reading games that ave got the slightest and fewest of scratches, which was disapointed. As you can appreciated this can be expected from a second hand idem.

I was very happy to see this arrive. With the new PS3 out all the PS2's are being sold for good prices with games included. The item I bought had exactly what I wanted and was sent to be in very good condition. I would recommend if you need a console that has a lot of games you buy a PS2 in good condition with all the games with it. I did and I love it!

We decided to purchase a used PS2 for our sons 9th birthday . The intention was to take this to our holiday home in Spain which would then allow him to enjoy his PS in Spain as well as in the UK and to move games between the two homes.

Unfortunately the PS2 unit arrived with only one of the eight retaining scews which hold the unit and case together in place, (perhaps it had been poorly repaired at some time) and it did not funtion at all. We suspect that it may have been damaged in transit as the internal component parts would not have been held in place during transportation.

We had such dissapointment on the day(his birthday) in Spain when it was opened and the unit did not operate.

We went to media mart the same day and puchased a new unit.

The purchase was only really saved by the 10 games which were included in the package. As nine of them functioned it was worth the £60.00 overall purchase price as it would have cost us at least £90.00 pounds for the games even if purchased as used in a store.

Moral of the story for us was, great way to puchase games at a reasonable price, but wont touch electronic goods purchases via Ebay again.

i love that its slimline unlike old chunky fat model this will fit into most places easily and looks nice. i bought it with buzz which is a great group game for all and u can buy many other games for this (kids and adults alike)
also singstar which is karaoke in ur own home with fantastic songs and videos this also have loads more songs u can purchase, a must for any party.
overall this is a great item and is lots of fun graphics not as good as xbox or ps3 but for your money its great value. Also has more games available at reasonable prices than the xbox and ps3
hope u find this useful

everything in good working oder. highley impressed. i see a bargin a got it.i thought that all the games was idel for what i needed them for.

dose what it says on the tin wrks fine looks like a playstation and plays like a playstation.
pluged it in and it wrked was happy why do i have to write a min of 100 wrds?

The Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console was a cracking deal. The console is a great improvment on the older PS2 colsole been smaller and easier to clean the laser.

package ok and arrived when expected following note and update on when the item would be sent. Thanks

I have been looking to sell my PS2 (slim) on e-bay and have been horrified to see lots of listings that say its a SLIM only to find when you zoom in on the picture, the consoles are in fact the older style (not that there is anything wrong with them). I just find it rather annoying to see these listed in under the wrong name, so my advise to anyone buying themselves a PS2 SLIM (not much bigger than a couple of DVDs stacked on top of each other) make sure you look at the picture carefully (the older ones are a lot larger and noiser). Maybe e-mail the seller if you cant tell from the pic or are unsure. As I said there is nothing wrong with the older style, I just know how I would feel if I was expecting a SLIM and got the older breeze block instead.

Other than that I have loved every hour (and there have been an awful lot of them) I have spent on my PS2, and being a female there are stacks of games out there to play that dont always involve shooting everything in sight (mind you I am rather partial to the odd shoot-up, especially after a bad day in the office)

My daughter has also gotten a lot out of playing the PS2, so much so the teachers at her school have commented on her quick reactions to puzzle solving in maths for instance, and they said video games are bad for kids - I beg to differ.

So if you are about to invest some hard earned dosh on a PS2 I highly recommend them to all genders, and all ages as there is a huge variety on gendre (types of games) and you prices are so much cheaper than XBox, Wii and PS3. So go on give it a try - you wont be disappointed, just look at what you buy first, carefully!!!

i love how old school its become. a student house essential.
