Manufacturer description
The controller, RCA cable, and booklet set are still new in the packaging. The system is not new and has some marks on the top and bottom. The power cable is not included. Nothing in the box has been tested. As these older PS2 slims tend to function unpredictably and should have maintenance performed with their lasers, this system set is being sold as-is, with no guarantees made about its overall functionality.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Sony PlayStation 2 PS2 Silver Slim Console In Box using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro consoles category. Sony's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro consoles of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
