Reliable(never has died on me), backwards compatible with PS1 games, great game library, easy to use, good load time for most games, and great controller.
Not compatible with all dvd movies which can be corrected for most dvds if you buy a PS2 remote control which comes with driver disk, trouble playing some PS games for a extended amount of time(4-5hr)
Posted Aug 14, 2004 - I have had the PS2 since the year it came out, and I never had to replace my system. For those that have read disc errors, most of it is caused by having your PS2 sitting horizontally. Also after using the system, I always turn it off. I have had the same PS2 memory card since I bought the system and has never died on me either. The only games I have had problems with the PS2 are playing some PS1 RPGs(Xenogears, FF4) on the PS2 for an extended amount of time. In the end, the final reason for me getting this system is for the games it has. Although X-Box has it share of great games, the games that I wanted the most are for PS2 like the Final Fantasy series, Xenosaga series, Time Crisis, and etc. Although I would be willing to get a X-Box if I had the money, but I only have the money to devote to one system. If your an RPG fan like me, the wise decision is to get an PS2, but if you have tons of cash get all 3 systems haha!!!
