It is a very good gaming console . I have bought it approximately four years ago and till now played lots of games in it. I like to play a hell lot of games . Till now although I have bought other gaming consoles also but I still like to play in my play station 2 only. Till now I have not found any defect in it and hope that I will not find any in the future also. If you are thinking of buying gaming consoles than from my experience you should by a play station 2 at first. I can garauntee you that you will have a very good gaming experience in it. For me it is one of the best gaming console I have ever played.
