Nowadays, nearly every console that comes out is retooled and redone, and Nintendo is no exception. Sure, some of them are a masterpiece (GameBoySP) and others are pieces of cacapoopoopeepee (GameBoy Micro). Why should the DS be an exception? We got the original, not very bright and big as all hell. Nintendo went back and made it better. We got the Lite. Brighter, smaller, bigger screens, a win all-around! But Nintendo wasn't satisfied. They had to revisit it. They made it even smaller, with larger screens, a more powerful CPU, slapped on a pair of cameras, and gave us an SD slot for music and pictures. And, of course, much better WiFi capability. It's all great, I love all of these new improvements. But wait, something's missing. Where the hell is Slot-2? The fatal flaw. Not only has the DSi lost backward compatibility, but all those accessories? Worthless. If you liked Guitar Hero:On Tour, good luck playing that without a Guitar Grip. That is the only thing I hate about the DSi, and the sole reason gave it a 4/5. So if you've got a GH fetish or a stack of GBA games, you might want to hit up the Lite. Otherwise, take the upgrade or even the upgrade of the upgrade, the DSi XL.Read full review
With a few improvements over its previous models (the NDS and NDS Lite) the NDSi now includes a front and back camera, sound recorder, memory card slot and the ability to install applications and games. The screens are slightly larger and the colors look more vivid ares well. The only downside to this handheld, is that there is no longer any support for GBA cartridges. Similar to what happened when the Gameboy Micro dropped support for older GB and GBC games, nintendo decided to focus more on the new features of the device and move are sway from previous gen compatibility. Overall it's it's a great handheld with great improvements over the DSLite, however if you were interested in playing GBA games as well you will be better off with a NDSLite.

Even though it's no PS3 or Wii, it still has it's rich backgrounds and endless entertaining titles to keep you engaged through a good part of your life. Just buy a couple of RPG games or check out the top 10 PS2 games from any review site, and you'll actually appreciate having your PS2. I definitely enjoy it's interactive and easy navigation as well as it's simplicity. I think the bottom line is that if you just want some good entertaining games and affordability, definitely consider buying a PS2 used or new. One of the reasons I bought a PS2 was for the Final Fantasy series and hearing such rave reviews about Kingdom Hearts. I think if you want to escape for just a little bit out of your life, relax, and just sit , try the PS2.
The Playstation 2 has many functions to it, you can get it in Jet Black or you can get it in Silver, which looks much better, but it is very rare to find. I have many games for this console and personally I love it overall! Advantages: lots of good games out, Sleek looking, DVD movie playable - basically good value for money :-) Disadvantages: Xbox's graphic capabilites are superior - Still waiting for hard drive peripheral for PS2. Also there are only two controller ports, compared to the higher rated Xbox. Also the games are quite costly so go figure! The verdict: I would say that the Sony Playstation 2 is a high quality games consule with extraordinary gaming power capible of being achieved. Many people tend to dissagree, but I think that the Sony Playstation 2 is the best games console going and other consoles such as the XBOX and Gamecube don't even compare to the quality of this tiny black/silver box of fun.Read full review
The PlayStation 2 game console was the best of its generation. Can it hold a candle to the nextgen systems (PS3 and XBOX 360)??? Let's see... Graphics: Nextgen wins. This one's a no-brainer. The PS2 can't compete with the nextgen systems on this front. Though I should mention that the PS2 has very good graphics. Gaming Library: PS2 wins. There are games for all ages on the PS2 and you can play the PS1 games as well. The PS3 (as of this writing) is still having compatability issues with the PS2 and PS1 games. Online: Difficult...Nextgen takes it. The 360 has decent online funtions. PS3 is lagging on that front...PS2 online is free... Size: PS2 wins. The original is bulkier than the slim, but still smaller than nextgen systems. Price: PS2 all the way! If you can afford to go out and drop $400 minimum for the nextgen systems, by all means, have at it. But for those of us looking to spend considerably less than that, the PS2 is where you'll get the most bang for your buck. Overall, I've had absolutely no problems with the PS2. The PS2 doubles as a DVD player (regular DVD's, not HD or Blu-Ray) and though I've never used it as such, it can also double as a CD player. A remote can be purchased separately. I would recommend the PS2 to anyone not in a position to go out and buy the newest nextgen console.Read full review
Perfect size! It was so easy to use that my 2 yr old understood how to play. Easy set up. Lots of options and even a spot for extra memory. Great for gamers or even small children!

Its hard to review old console. When I had bought it, its great value for the money. This one needs new case or refurbish case, new digitizer, battery and is good to go. The main problem is, the japanese firmware, which wont let you switch to English, but well when I just „install“ the homebrew firmware, which lets me play from the SD Card, I get English console able to play games for: - NDSi games, - Gameboy Advance games (No R4 or whatever card sold), - Gameboy and Gameboy Color, - NES, - SNES, - SMS, - NeoGeo. Yeah sure they are emulator roms, but for this small device pretty neat.

Although this system is last-gen, it still has the staying power to keep up with the newer systems on the market. The graphics rivals even that of the Wii, and looks great on an HD TV. The best thing about the PS2 is it's huge game library and backwards compatibility with Playstation games. Also there are a lot of must have Games on PS2. There are still hundreds of new game titles being made for this system including the same titles you will see on the more expensive systems like xbox 360,Wii and PS3. This will make this system relevant well into the coming years! Overall, there are lots of great features on the PS2!
I like the fact that the system is so lightweight and poratble. It has most all the features of the original PS2 but about 1/3 the size. The top loading design allows for less moving parts which makes it more durable. There are still alot of games that are out that you can purchase for the system. The only dislike that I have for the system to me is that it runs a little hotter and that if you use the optional stand for a prolonged period it could cause damage to the optical lens track.
this is a great gameing console. It has decent grapichs but doesent win compared to xbox 360 And ps3. I enjoyed playing games such as grand theft auto and other shooters. It was used and i got it from a friend but dont know how old it was. It lasted for about six months or more or less i cant remember exactly. But then i got the disc reading error. That really sucked. BUT NEVER DO THIS: one day i was going to play a game and couldent see that the disc was completly in. it was halfway up and fudged the game up. So i tryed another game and the disc reading error was present. when you press the top down it sould do it to the disc too so it dident mess the fudge up sony should of done better i dont know if it was because of me or that was going to happen.
