"Pathetic quality of the Sony PS2 77001"
I purchased this unit in January 2007 for use by my Grandson. Since this purchase my Grandson has been able to play this unit perhaps 4 times. I just received my 3rd replacement from Sony and it failed to work right out of the box. The units have not been mistreated, dropped or otherwise abused. I am disgusted with the pitiful quality of Sony's products. The first 2 units were returned for the "does not read disk" error. This last one, fresh from Laredo TX, simply grinds the laser into the center column. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this system like the plague.

"Great console"
What can I say that hasn't been said? Great console with a huge selection of games. My son plays it constantly. I haven't seen the Playstation 3 yet, but its over my budget anyhow.

"Awesome gaming system"
I've played video games since the Nintendo Entertainment System sat in my family's living room. Since then there have been several ones that stand out and the PS2 is one of them. This is one of those systems that you just never get rid of because some of the games were just so awesome. Like the "Need for Speed" games not to mention God of War and Final Fantasy X. Sqaured away system.

"Still a great system."
Still a great system, the ps3 is nicer, but what till prices drop its not worth the extra $. Get the ps2 and have fun till ps3 drops in price.

"Low Price, Great Purchase"
I really haven't found a need to purchase the Wii, PS3, or X-Box 360, because the PS2 still has an enormous library of games that I still haven't gotten to.

This slimmed down version of the PS2 surprised me by how lightweight and small it was. The external power supply was wonderful, especially being dual-voltage. It's easy to slip into a backpack and takes up remarkly little space in your entertainment center.

I have heard of instances of overheating, but I have left the slim PS2 running for almost 24 hours before and it never degraded in performance, much less overheated. Perhaps this was true in an earlier model, but not this one.

If the sales are any indication, there's much more mileage left on this system, and more than enough games out there (and CHEAP!) to keep you occupied. I'm not going to bash the next generation systems, but the PS2 still works wonderfully for me, and I don't feel like I need anything better (relatively speaking) right now.
