"I got this console in its mid stages after I had a taste of San Andreas. The PS2 did an incredible job building from the success of its predecessor. Including its universally backward compatibility to the Playstation, its library of games is just breathtaking, covering pretty much all game genres and the majority of them are very high quality. It was pretty much the console for everyone. It is also incredible that it is also the first multimedia console, able to play music CDs, DVDs and can also"

Playstation 2 was the result of constant nagging and constant sneering from my peers who had already bought theirs. It was also the result of (mostly) empty promises. This makes me sound like a villain so I will change tracks:
My PS2 came along with a copy of Need For Speed: Carbon, a game that seriously lowered my expectations for the series henceforth and bought a tear to my eye. It was good, but better than its predecessors? Not in the least bit. Anyway, the arrival of this mean"

I got a PS2 for Christmas and I still own it today. It also became my own personal DVD player in my room at the time and give me a reason to rid of my old VHS player at the time. "

"Bought it, but never really got too into it, since it was just before the XBOX was to be released. There is a huge library of games that I never got a chance to play that I still intend to check out--Ico and Shadow of the Colossus being the top two on that list. Thankfully I can play them on my PS3 now!"
"In terms of overall gaming I view the PS2 as the best console ever but for RPG's it still comes in a very respectable third place. Games like Dragon Quest 8, Persona 3 and 4, Final Fantasy X and XII made the PS2 the generational pick when iit came to RPG lovers. Original titles like Kingdom Hearts, Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud were also impressive."

"Damn, that was a great Christmas!! We woke up to a PS2 this year and what a leap it was from a Playstation. Not only was it our first PS2 but it was also our first DVD player back when VHS was still our main form of watching movies."
