PlayStation 2 Slim Console PS2 (Renewed)

I've always been a loyal PlayStation user, ever since the original PS-1. The PS2, when it came out had some excellent and well done titles, Gran Turismo 4, Star Wars Jedi Power battles, the Lord of the Rings games based on the movies that had come out around the time the console was introduced. For the time, and the console, these offerings were very good. I also found some rarer titles that were just as entertaining. It's a good console that packs a lot in for what it is. Some of the graphics hold up well even today. I was lucky to find one in good condition. Thank you to the company and people who sold this to me.

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

Console in excellent condition, works perfectly,

Exactly what you'd expect with a refurbished PS2. Good condition, works just fine, only minor scuffs on the outside.

I purchased this item twice, the first time, the power button stopped working after a few months. I bought a replacement, and literally within 30 minutes of using it, it stopped being able to read games.Do yourself a favor and buy your PS2 from legitimately anybody else

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

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.

I've had 2 systems so far and both have broken. I have to return the second 1 and hopefully the 3rd 1 is working properly. This was in the course of 2 months. Thought since they had good reviews that it would be good. Very disappointed.
