Ps2 Consoles
How to shop for a Playstation 2 by JJ Hendricks
The PS2 was released in 2000 and has sold more than 110 million systems worldwide. Even with these millions of units sold, many people have never owned a PS2 and are looking to buy one now. Follow these five easy steps below to save you time and money when shopping for your Playstation 2 system.
1. Buy the Slim PS2 - The Playstation 2 comes in two major versions. The original, larger PS2 and the more compact PStwo. The original PS2 system worked well in most cases but was bulky and some systems would lose power in their lasers over time making certain games unplayable. The PStwo system is much more compact than the original plus has a built in Ethernet adaptor or online play. The laser problem has been fixed in the PStwo version so you won't have to worry about disc read errors after using the system for a while.
2. Spend Less than $90 - Slim Playstation 2's are still sold new in stores, but they cost $129.99. If you want to save some money you can find used and refurbished slim PStwo systems for under $90 and the old Playstation 2 is even cheaper (thought be sure to read the paragraph above to make sure you know the differences between the two).
3. Shop Online Although you can find used PS2 systems in many local game shops, the prices are usually higher in retail locations than online. Almost every gaming website carries Playstation 2 consoles since it was the most popular system last generation. You won't have to look hard to find the system. Ebay can also be a good option if you want to buy games with your Playstation 2 at the same time. Sellers will sell you their entire collection and you can save even more money.
5. Buy Used - Buying used and refurbished systems will save you at least $40. If you buy used games too, that can be two or three extra games you can buy to go along with your system. Just be sure to read step 5 to make sure buying used doesn't hurt you.
5. Buy only Quality Guaranteed - Because of the problems mentioned earlier that the PS2 can have, be sure to only buy from a retailer that guarantees their systems. You don't want to receive the system and find it has a broken laser and not be able to get a replacement from the retailer. Most websites will say they guarantee their items right on the same page you are buying the PS2 system.
If you keep these steps in mind when buying a Playstation 2 console, you will be able to save quite a bit of money and start enjoying all the games available on the system in no time.
