PlayStation 2

Measuring 12" x 7" x 3", the PlayStation 2 is with an emotion engine(tm), which is a RISC(Reduced Instruction Set Computing) chip. The PlayStation 2 games you play on it respond to your touch, through different levels, depending on how you play.

It does this by analysing what you are doing in the game and by responding to that action. The PlayStation 2 was released in the year 2000, and is approaching the end of the average console 5 year cycle. It may have a longer cycle, as it has a wealth of gaming titles, and more being released every year. PlayStation 3 will be released in 2006, because of the advances in chip evolution.

This means that PlayStation 2 games of this year, and next, will be more advanced, as they will start to crunch every last byte out of the console, as the developers will have gained more experience of developing games, and know it better.This is also because some games are seasonal, and the quality of the sound, graphics and game play is increased with every new release.

This year, the price of the PlayStation 2 is at an all time low, and it will be cheaper, as the competition between the console developers increases.One of the many advantages of the Play Station 2, is its backward compatibility, with earlier PlayStation games, and that its games are compatible with some versions of the PlayStation 3.

This is good news for people who want to build up a library of titles, and don't want to necessarily buy new games to play on the PlayStation 3.So you don't have to get rid of your older games, you can keep on playing them, and also get some of the new games.This is what makes the PlayStation 2 such a great game console, is that you can build up a library of titles that you can play on your next PlayStation.
