REVIEW
Best Video Game System Ever Back in 1997 I was 9 years old and christmas was coming. My parents decided to buy me a video game system. The choices were Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, or Sony Playstation. Each one I rented from blockbuster first the Saturn didn't like it. Than n64 I liked it and finally came the Playstation. I choose the Playstation which I'm very happy I did. Many games came out for it. Also many great series started on it. For examples Crash Bandicoot series and Resident Evil series.
I sold my old grey Playstation years ago. Bought it back for 20 dollars. Ccurrently playing it to this day. The system is over 10 years old and runs like new.
Right now games are about graphics and movies than gameplay. If anyone would see the graphics they would get sick. Because its a major downgrade but if you were like me and grew up on it than the graphics don't seem so bad. I say buy it even though its been dead for years now. There is a ton of games on it to play and can be found for dirt cheap prices.
Amazon.com ReviewIf the original PlayStation was the video game console equivalent of the '60s-era Volkswagen Beetle--economic, reliable, loads of fun--the PS One could be considered the new Beetle--a hip restyling of those same qualities.
Make no mistake: the PS One has all of the same functionality as the original PlayStation workhorse, will work with all of the same peripherals and accessories, and will play the existing PlayStation game library, as well as audio CDs (also note that, like the original PlayStation, it's not compatible with the more advanced PlayStation 2). The difference here is that this new model is quite a bit smaller than its older brother, and quite a bit cuter, too.
The system is made up of a 32-bit, 34-MHz RISC processor with 16 Mbits of main memory, 8 Mbits of graphics memory, 24-channel stereo sound, double-speed CD-ROM drive, and one Dual Shock analog controller. That's not a lot of power, compared to a next-generation system like the Sega Dreamcast; but, when you factor in its very low price and the enormous library of games that are available (more than 1,000 that are spread across every genre imaginable), one can see easily why it's as good a deal as ever. If rumors of exciting future accessories for the PS One (a four-inch LCD screen attachment, to name one) are true, this little machine could become a great option for the on-the-go gamer. --Porter Hall
REVIEW
Sony's first gaming sucessful gaming system, started of the dynesty of PS systems I was never really an avid gamer, and a few years ago I got my hands on the original PSone. What a system it was for it's time. It really was one of the first arcade style games/graphics systems available for home. N64 was also out around that time as well, followed shortly by Gamecube. The PS one has so many great games, and really brought Sony into the public eye again as one of the premiere electronics companies. Advantages of this system, many great arcade style games, excellent sports game selection, good graphics. Disadvantage, the loading time. Some games seem like they take forever to load up. Also, the shift to CD style game disc started here. Cartidges are durable, but limited in scope (although flash technology is growing). But, still a fun system, games compatable with PS2 and PS3.
Amazon.com The PlayStation2 is equipped with a 128-bit Emotion Engine processor that enables lightning-fast gameplay and impressive graphics power. The console builds on its home entertainment value by doubling as a DVD player and accommodating most of the original PlayStation's vast library of games. PS2 is known for its excellent selection of titles for the older gamer.
REVIEW
Excellent Choice I Made This was a wonderful choice for me. I'm not into all the high tech game systems or games. It was also difficult finding one at a reasonable price without just having to break down and buy a new system. It was shipped to me in perfect condition. I could find no flaws any where. I really appreciate the fact that I can stand this system up which makes it perfect for my entertainment system. The smaller one would've been okay but I don't think it would've been the same. Any future products being sold by Mr. Eastland that would be useful to me, I would definetely buy first if I could get that chance. Just a suggestion to anyone else who may read this review, buy your products from Mr. Eastland, you will not be disappointed.
PS2 and young kids My sons were 5 when they recieved this as a Christmas gift from their Grandfather, much against my wishes. I thought that it would break before they really knew what they were doing and that it was too expensive, I was wrong this is the best gaming console they have ever owned. It has lasted three years now without any problems. It has with stood plane trips to Florida, and the rough housing of boys. The boys love the amount of games that they can choose from and the graphics also. This toy is one of the best purchases that could have been made for them.
Go with the 80GB This is a good product but the 80Gb Metal Gear Solid 4 Package is the
way to go if you want to play your old PS2 games and have lots of room
for storage

MY HUSBAND LOVES IT! For those of you who are wondering if this is a good gift for the big kids in your life, stop now! I bought this for my husband at Christmas and he hasn't put it down yet. He even went out and bought more accessories for it already!
Amazon.com Connects your PlayStation2 to a TV via an RCA-style component jack, and gives better picture quality than an RFU adapter. Includes left and right stereo jacks, too.
REVIEW
Perfection I don't know what I would do without this cable... The game console came with one, but sadly it was required to make the console work. I bought this one so I could display it above my fireplace.
In just 2.5 hours, the Energizer Power & Play Charging System for PS3 charges up to 4 controllers simultaneously. Charge 2 controllers directly on the main unit, and 2 more controllers using USB cables (sold separately). Includes a UL-approved AC power cord.
REVIEW
Easy and FAST to charge 4 PS3 controllers at once This is an extremely easy to use device. It took me longer to open the packaging the charging system was in than it did for me to plug it in, and test it with my 4 PS3 controllers. Literally, all you do is plug the device in, and connect the controllers.
There are two docking stations which light up red at the top of where the controller is placed when they're charging, and turn green when they're done. There are also two USB ports to connect a controller via the cable included with the PS3 (you'll have to buy a second one, or use a compatible one you already have as no cables are included with the charging system).
As a bonus, it even looks sort of stylish when controllers are attached.
Simply put, it's easy to use, solidly built, gives great visual feedback on the charging status. A charging station is more or less a necessity if you have more than two controllers, and even if you only have two this is a superior method of recharging. Highly recommended.
PS2 IS THE BEST SYSTEM EVER MADE PS2 is a great system. For only $149.99 with a free network adaptor, you can't go wrong. You have to buy it! Also if you are looking for a great online game with ur network adaptor, buy SOCOM II: USNAVY SEALs. Great game! The PS2 is simply amazing.
