how much you want for one?

i have one, but I'm not going to give it awy/ or rip someone off...

 

[Mr T-Maxx]

A new one (slim version) w/ one controller and AV & Power cords is $129.


So I figure I could get a good used one (depending on total package) for around $50.

il possible sell u mine for 100 with games but its not the slim version just to let u know though i paid $7 at the good will for it works great to

 

[Tweak]

My advice: though I don't have one for sale (got three, one bit the dust) is to try to shy away from the Slim version mate. They have a really bad habit of overheating and IMO will never last near as long as the first versions did.

Also, SONY recently went through a lawsuit involving certain systems with a specific set of serial numbers- Do some research and try to NOT get one of those units.

 

[swarmjt]

i agree with tweak..get one of the older ones..

Dude id save up and get a ps3. Those things kick some ass. I have a x box and ps2 but noting compares to the ps3. Pluse I want to play that new offroad game so bad lol.

I have a slim and it's never, ever overheated. The one's that have overheated I believe suffered from a placement issue. $50 might be a little low for used. Used ones sell for about $100 at EB, and I've seen them go for more on eBay.

Remember, some of the 1st ones out there wont play the games with the blue/purple backs. Mine does not want to play them now.

 

[Mr T-Maxx]

Thanks for the input fellas......

PS3, no thanks ...... I'm not into paying large dollars for the latest greatest ... which typically isn't much different.

Can't see paying $100 for something that's $129 new (w/factory warranty).

Thanks for the input on going rates Jet!

PSU ..... Good info!

Sounds like I'm best off buying new, I'm just a cheap skate and thought someone might have one laying around that was a must-have and realized it was an impulse buy.

Well, most of use that will sell them used, have a nice stack of games for it. We are selling them with games and all, because if we sell the console, Then we are stuck with the games.

 

[Tweak]

You really are better off buying new mate. Maybe check a pan shop in your area, sometimes you can talk em down to a good deal.

Chances are tho, if you are looking at game stop or any other game store they are selling refurbished units and that is never a good deal. New are usually a bit more pricey.

Ya, the PS2 Slims were overheating from placement. In a car, right under TV's but the main thing was, the little fan was not up to the task. The players would leave their units on 24 hours a day for weeks (just like I do and millions of others) and eventually the fan motor or ESC would burn out. Fan Dies, PS2 gets hot... and dies.

am not recomending a slim version of the PS2...

if you are still looking. this game shop here in town has a hand full of the thicker PS2's with a lifetime guarantee and they are slightly used, come with controllers.

i love this store.

but let me know.

pm me or something

does this apply to the first version of PS2...., or just the slim models?

 

[Z400]

the slim models dont even have a fan...

lol

have u ever looked at a slim version of the PS2?

 

[Tweak]

No, the First Generation versions had virtually no problems.


The Slim version does have an internal cooling fan, a very small one. The original idea was to make them small enough for cars. to fit under the seat and whatnot. You simply can't have a machine that is 60 percent cooling fins with no fan. Most of what is in the box is a big cooling cell, open one up and see?

With the slim ps2, isn't there the problem with it only playing certain games? I thought there were some that it does not play.

Did you get one yet? Anyway I have a modified first generation version (so it plays both NTSC and PAL games) with about 20+ games and 2 wireless controllers and the remote control. Asking $150 plus shipping because of all the extras. There is also a memory card.

Ericke, thanks for the offer. I've decided to go the new route.
