PlayStation 2 Slim Console PS2 (Renewed)

After reading some of the negative reviews I was a little concerned about ordering this. It came very well packed. I did not expect new condition. It has a few minor scratches, but that doesn't make it work. Got it set up and it works great! My last ps2 I had bought used, locally and it worked for several years. I am hoping for the same with this 1.

After waiting a month for it to be shipped overseas to my country, I was greatly dissapointed to find out that the AC power adapter wasn't working. It was only because I was able to get a local elecronic to fix it has it been working. Very frustrating to wait so long for something only for it to not work properly from the box.

This is nice but one problem with a quick fix. The ps2 slim have been known to scratch your games. The fix is easy so here it goes. All you have to do is make sure that the bronze gold like looking strip inside the disc cargo is pushed down. The disc if not careful can rub up against the strip. It is the strip inside. There is a video on YouTube about this. After I did this it took care of the problem. Now I need to get a stripdr that fixes your disc stracthes. Other than that this is a nice product. Once again this issue is not a seller issue but a flaw with the ps2 slims.

The slim version of the PS2 is still the greatest console ever made. It's an improvement of the first wide console which had a high failure rate and cost customers a lot of money. The console has the largest library of any kind ever, and is backward compatible with Original Playstation games, in all too many games for a casual gamer to have time for in one lifetime. My purchase has already given me hours of bliss playing old games I should never have let go. The game Deus Ex: The Conspiracy is especially relevant now; plagues, conspiracies and artificial intelligence are brought into play in a story you'll never forget. The Madden and WWE games were far more fun, there were no microtransactions and single player games were private, and all genres were full of greatest hits as well as underrated titles. Somehow games were more immersive and fun. Medal of Honor was still good, platformers were at their best, and though some titles have had or are getting remakes and remasters, not enough are. To play a PS One game, remember to have a suitable memory card unless you plan on doing speed runs. You can't use the PS2 memory card for original Playstation games. If you remember, or never had the sheer pleasure of using this amazing console, do it. You will not see the mind-blowing graphics of the PS4 or 5, but forget that and get lost in great gameplay. Worth every penny!

Used it for 20 minutes. Didn’t recognize any discs, 2 of which are basically new, no scratches or smudges, and all it does is shut itself off. Console is well ventilated, even put a fan on it to keep it cool but it overheats and it shuts off before I can do anything.

The only thing that kept this from a perfect rating was that I found a screw in the memory card slot. Thought I had three bad memory cards as it wasn’t reading anything I put into slot one. I noticed that slot two had a better fit. It was easy enough to remove. There also seems to be some possible voltage issue with the unit. It won’t read two memory cards at the same time and the light on the controller has a fade to it. Not sure if it’s the unit or my setup. Overall happy with my purchase.

It’s very functional. I did have to pop it open and clean it of dust in the console fan for it to run better but after that it runs fine. Every once in a while it decides to shut off on its own. honestly I don’t play it for more then a few hours at a time anyways and I got it to chase the nostalgia that modern games don’t give. I’d say go for it. I’ve had it a few months and it still runs good enough to play off of and enjoy.

It came with two separate AC adapters instead of just one plus the cable that connects to the outlet. Also, unless you have a TV or monitor that has the traditional AV outlets (red, yellow, white) you’ll need to get a separate PS2 to HDMI adapter. That’s the only gripes I’ve had about it.
