Also Sony have provided the PS2 with 'Net Play' on some games so that you are able to play against other people around the world. This is a first for video game consoles and has influenced other gaming companies such as Microsoft to expand on video games internet content. The Playstation 2 has many accessories to make gaming more realistic. From the 'Singstar Microphone' to 'Dance Mats' and from the 'Eye Toy Camera' to the 'Resident Evil chainsaw. The Playstation 2 has showcased and given birth to games such as Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Fifa, Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy just to name a few. Many may disagree but many people, including myself, believe that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which is the perfect action game for anyone over the age of 18. There are two types of Ps2: The ones I call fat PS2's and Slimlines. Fat Playstation 2's tend to last longer than the more recent slimlines, as I know many people who have had Slimlines which have broken down in less than a year. So can you resist the PS2, the greatest console ever? At a great price, with many features and a selection of games around seven times bigger than any other console this is a must for anyone interested in gaming. Whether you are 4 or 40 this will last for years after your purchase. Buy it now, go on!
