About the PlayStation 2
Pros and Cons
Included in the Box
About the PlayStation 2
At the heart of the PlayStation 2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine
processor, which combines lightning-fast gameplay and startling
graphical power with digital stereo sound. The system was designed as an
improvement on the original PlayStation's design; the disc-based
software and Dual Shock 2 controllers will be immediately familiar to
PlayStation devotees. Also, owners of the original PlayStation need not
discard their existing game collection, because the PS2 is designed to
be compatible with the software for the original PlayStation.
The PS2 builds on its home entertainment value by doubling as a DVD
player, which allows it to play any Region 2 (UK/Europe/Middle
East/Japan) DVD disc; with the help of an extra disc you can play DVDs
from other regions. You can also play audio CDs on the console. The
PS2 Network Adapter allows you to play online against other PS2
gamers across Europe.
The PlayStation 2 was designed with future expandability in mind. The
unit comes with two USB ports and a Type III PCMCIA expansion slot, as
well as Sony's own i.Link interface, which can connect it to a variety
of high-tech Sony products, from digital cameras to notebook computers.
Pros and Cons

Included in the Box

Shock 2 controller, and an AV cable to connect directly to your
