Editorial Reviews :
The PlayStation2 Starter Pack includes the PlayStation2 console (with 90-day warranty), two Dual Shock 2 controllers, a Sony 8 MB memory card, and a six-month trial subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly. At the heart of the PlayStation2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine processor, which brings lightning-fast gameplay and unprecedented graphics power to your TV screen.
Buyer Reviews :
I personally found the PS2 attractive because of its backward compatibility and the ability to play DVD's. I will say that the games are quite good for being such a young system. Also, the DVD playing is sufficient. Although the controls are awkward because you have to use the analog controllers, it still suffices as a DVD player. There is a third party remote, but I don't trust third party equipment. Thankfully, Sony has come out with their own remote which is the best one to get. As some have said, the vent is quite loud at times. The hum will be annoying at first esp. if you place it on a hard surface, but it's something you'll get used to.
Should you get the PS2? Yes. Should you get it now? Maybe. The price will definitely go down with time, and it'll be more affordable then. Also, there will be more games later this year. Also, for those who don't have a DVD player, this system will keep you entertained two-fold. As for the reading materials, it's stuff you can find online. Extra controller and memory card are necessary.
Now the X-Box and GameCube are out. For pure power and punch, the X-Box and GameCube provide the capability for better graphics. Are they noticeable? Yes. Are they that much more that the PS2 is useless? No. I've played games on both systems and although they look great, they're still behind on gameplay. As we all know, graphics only get you so far, and it's gameplay that makes a system last. It's possible that X-Box and GameCube will produce better games later this year like the PS2 did. It seems like it takes a year for any new system to get into the flow of things. Nonetheless, the PS2 is a sure thing and there is a wealth of great games out right now that will compete with anything else out there.
Overall, this is probably one of the best packages anyone has to offer. If you plant to buy a PS2, get this bundle. You're not stuck with a lame game and you have all the necessities you were going to buy seperately anyway.
