Product Summary

The good: Huge library of games; svelte design; built-in networking/modem ports and remote sensor; doubles as a CD/DVD player; free online gaming with select titles.

The bad: Top-loading disc tray; only two controller ports; no hard disk expansion option; Xbox's graphics capabilities are superior.

The bottom line: Sony's slimmed-down, network-ready PS2 is a welcome update to the world's most popular video game console.

Specs: Product Description: Sony PlayStation 2 Slim - Game console; Media Type: CD-ROM, DVD-ROM; Processor: Toshiba & Sony Emotion Engine 294.9 MHz
