Sony PlayStation 2 Slimline Console

Pros: Compact, Future Expansion, Versatile, Entertaining
Cons: No Memory Card, Rushed Production, Unit Shortage

Was it all for nothing? How is it, one electronic device can stir up the publics emotion, like the PS2 has. Today at age 26, i've had the opportunity to own or play every video game machine from the Atari 2600, GCE Vectrex, Intellevision, SNK Neo-Geo,...

Pros: Decent price for what you get.
Cons: If you didn't pre-order, get in line.

I would love to have a story that explains my journey as I camped out for several years straight, waiting patiently in a line that stretched from Waco, Texas to the surface of Mars, just to get a glimpse of the new PlayStation2. My story, however,...

Pros: Lots of hype
Cons: ugly looking, not much improvement from PlayStation

The one thing that really bothers me are all the people who keep on saying that Playstation 2 is so great, just because it's specs are a higher than Dreamcast, and that is very childish of them. It is kind of "stupid" to be praising a product...

Pros: Smooth graphics, smooth gameplay, DVD, firewire.
Cons: none!

I've lived in Japan most of my life, and as a result, I've always been on top of things when it comes to electronics. I first played the Playstation II when it came out in Japan halfway through the year 2000. I was incredibly excited when it came out,...

I have used the DG834G for almost a year now having purchased it when I upgraded to a broadband internet connection. So far, once setup - I have had few problems with it. The Netgear DG834G is a reliable and cost-effective option backed by a 1 year 24/7 ...

Pros: Sleek design, Variety of games, Improvements over PSX, Backward compatible
Cons: None!

With the runaway freight train of success that was PlayStation, Sony built up the hype again with their PlayStation 2 ad campaign. And though it wasn't a blatant PR move, the PS2 shortage sure helped add to the hype.

Take one part PSX, throw...

Pros: Multi-Purpose and useful
Cons: Not as good as expected. Expensive.

Every gamer and even many non-gamers have heard about the Playstation 2 and how it is the most incredible gaming machine ever, how it has the most life like graphics and is flat out amazing. Is this really true? Well, I say it all depends, why you ask?...

Pros: Brightest future of any console
Cons: A little slow coming out of the gate

Many of the reviews I've read about the PS2 rip it for not being available or for not having the greatest game selection as of right now. I think that is an unfair shot at the PS2, because most people who I know who really want a PS2 have one, and it's...

Pros: Fastest, smoothest, most diverse system ever
Cons: Have to wait for some of the PS2's best stuff, until after Christmas

So you are thinking of spending $300 for a gaming console. Well let me give you some advice, buy a home entertainment system called the PS2. The PS2 is much more than games, it has a higher calling. In this review I am going to try to bring you up to...

Pros: Sleek-looking system, DVD capabilities, simple menus, great potential
Cons: Only decent release games, limited supply for XMAS 2000, price tag, only 2 controller ports!

Okay, don't get me wrong. When I say the PS2 is average, I do not mean that in a bad way. Sony has been telling magazines and the press that this system would be the ONE system everyone must own. The PS2 IS the entire future of computer entertainment....

Pros: Latest and Greatest console, built in DVD player / Playstation 1
Cons: Not much better than Sega Dreamcast, but double the price; Not easy to find for Christmas

The Playstation 2 was announced last year around the same time Sega's Dreamcast was released. Sony stated the Playstation 2 would push 75 million polygons, an amazing amount compared to the Dreamcast, which Sega states can only push 3 million polygons....

Cons: Not a lot new PS2 games to choose from.

My adult toy cost 300 dollars, and it does everything! I love it. In fact, I love it so much that I sometimes use it for three or four hours in a row. I even let my children, and the neighbors children, use it, but only while I’m watching (so they don’t...

Pros: 3 devices in 1. Amazing Potential.Backwards compatibility.
Cons: Cost. Rarity. Over hyped out to HERE.

Make not mistake, sony knows how to make and market great products. Taking the original playstation from a proposed super nintendo add-on device to the dominant video game console in the world in just 3 years, and then staying there for 3 more, is no...

Pros: Good performance, great 3rd party support
Cons: Price, lack of quality software, lack of included hardware, and features

The release of the Playstation 2 is the reason I just purchased a Dreamcast just over a week ago. I was one of the Idiots who was sweet talked by a clerk, into putting a deposit on a PS2 at Electronics Boutique. Well, nearing arrival I asked a clerk...

Pros: Graphics, gameplay
Cons: price, availability of good games

I pre-ordered the Playstation 2 in May so I had no trouble getting one at the $300 sticker price on launch day. I think it is the best console available on the market, but I wouldn't pay any more than sticker to get my hands on one.

When I...
