PlayStation 2 Slim Console PS2 (Renewed)

This is nice but one problem with a quick fix. The ps2 slim have been known to scratch your games. The fix is easy so here it goes. All you have to do is make sure that the bronze gold like looking strip inside the disc cargo is pushed down. The disc if not careful can rub up against the strip. It is the strip inside. There is a video on YouTube about this. After I did this it took care of the problem. Now I need to get a stripdr that fixes your disc stracthes. Other than that this is a nice product. Once again this issue is not a seller issue but a flaw with the ps2 slims.

After waiting a month for it to be shipped overseas to my country, I was greatly dissapointed to find out that the AC power adapter wasn't working. It was only because I was able to get a local elecronic to fix it has it been working. Very frustrating to wait so long for something only for it to not work properly from the box.

I was nervous purchasing a renewed PS2 as some of the reviews were quite negative. But mine came packaged in double bubble wrap with everything I needed to hook it up and begin playing. The slim unit was very clean inside and out. It plays my collection of games perfectly. I would recommend this purchase to any who are looking for a way to bring back the fun you had with your PS2 games

This is for the 2nd PS2 I bought. It's great, everything I expected. More compact than the first.The first was a big disappointment. It wouldn't read the disc at all, and when I picked it up and movedit, I could hear something loose rattling inside the console. I could hear the rattling noise even beforeopening the box it was shipped in. This is no reflection on Amazon. It's the fault of whoeverdid the refurbishing.

The item I received, wasn't within the parameters set forth by Amazon. The "Renewed" statement by Amazon says that an item, that is renewed, has very little in the way of scratches while looking at it at 12 inches. And that the item has been cleaned, repaired if necessary and tested for functionality. And therefore it is Guaranteed to be fully functional. Well... here is a list of issues that I found. It was obvious that this PlayStation 2 console had never been taken apart cleaned. Dust is/was throughout the systems vents. And... who ever owned it prior was a smoker...there is evidence of smoke tar in the unit and I could smell it. The Disk cover is damaged....it will make a popping/crunching sound when opened or closed --Note: it doesn't do this each and every time you open/close it. Someone installed, what I would call "Stickers", to deceptively cover heavy scratching and dings that are on top of the console. It is/was obvious that this PS2 console has been beat on badly in the past and is in dire need of some TLC. In my opinion, the optical drive needs to be replaced and the entire inside needs to be cleaned. The Scratches and Dings on the outside of the console wouldn't have bothered me at all, if the system was indeed cleaned, tested and fully functional. Please note: I removed the "Stickers" ….. Because, the one on the Disk cover had stuck to the side of the console and prevented me from opening the cover to install a game disk. Amazon … if you are viewing this review. I recommend that who ever supposedly cleaned, tested and repaired this unit... needs to be fired and never used for any future "Renewed" products

It has some issues reading some games all the way threw but not sure if it is the ps2 or the disc.

To begin with, I was a tad nervous after reading some of the 1 or 3-star reviews with damage or even dead roaches or bugs inside the player. However, because of the pandemic and the difficulty in acquiring a PS5, I’ve been rediscovering an appreciation for my older PS2 titles and took the chance since a majority of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. I gave away my PS2 slim to my 7 year-old nephew at the time a little over a decade ago. I also gave away or donated most of my games to my nephew or orphanages, but I kept a few that I loved in storage. My product arrived a day before the expected arrival, and man, I forgot how small the PS2 slim model was! Mine works perfectly and there was no damage or anything. VERY MINOR scratch on the top of the player, but other than that, nothing was compromised. I unearthed my old PS2 games I kept and been enjoying those all over again, especially ones that I know will likely never be ported over digitally (or never remastered) to the newer generation consoles. If you have the extra buying power, then I HIGHLY recommend this. I’d also recommend buying a couple of memory cards, an extra controller (if you like) and the PS2 HDMI converter/adapter in case your TVs don’t support those classic, colored, Audio-Video (AV) component cables. So I purchased that too separately to enjoy my games with an HD experience! Thank you! It’s been the best!

The fan on this thing sounds like an airplane taking off and it gets hotter than I'm comfortable with. I also noticed that the discs I was putting in it were getting perfect round scratches after playing. It also struggles to read discs.
