PS2 Console – Still Going Strong A Decade After Its Release

The PS2 was released in 2000, and has gone on to sell around 70 million units worldwide. This gaming console has competed against a wide range of other gaming consoles, yet still remains one of the best selling gaming machines of all time. The reasons for its success are partly because it is competitively priced, partly because of the great selection of games available for it, and partly because of the many experience enhancing accessories that can be used with it.

Of the accessories available for the PS2, these are the most popular:

Sony PS2 Multitap : An area where PS2 lacks is the number of players playing at one time. Unlike Xbox or GameCube, the PS2 only has two built in controller ports. However, if you are planning to play against four people than you can buy a mulittap, which allows you to engage in a four player gaming session.

PS2 Dual Shock Controller : This controller provides a more realistic gaming experience, with pressure sensitivity on every action button plus an improved mobility of the analog. After using one, you will find it slightly boring to use the standard PS2 controller again.

PS2 DVD Remote Controller Kit : The PS2 has the ability to read both CDs plus DVDs, therefore the PS2 DVD remote controller was brought into existence. This controller allows PS2 owners to watch movies in exactly the same way as they would watch them on TV.

Sony PS2 Memory Card : There are hardly games that you complete in one sitting, which means that you need a save function in order to avoid having to continually start at the beginning of a game. One 8 MB card is enough for even the most hardcore gamers.

Logitech PS2 Wireless Headset : This allows you to play games without getting tangled up in cables or waking up your family with loud game sounds. It also lets you communicate with other people when you play games online. The Logitech Wireless headset is well built, with excellent sound quality and even the slightest sound could be heard with ease.
