Play it again: Playstation 2

The Playstation 2 may not have the raw computing power of some of its counterparts but a good case can be made that it is the best value for money among all the gaming consoles out there. Far more games were created for the PS2 than for its competitors: the Nintendo Gamecube and Microsoft’s Xbox. Many of those games were among the best of the last six years: the Gran Turismo series of racing games, the Final Fantasy series of role-playing games and the Grand Theft Auto series. All these games first appeared on the PS2 and several of them are still exclusive to the console. Furthermore the PS2 is capable of playing PS1 games as well giving it another vast library of great games.

In addition the PS2 is probably the most easily available console in the Indian market both in terms of price and selection of games. And the new smaller version is more convenient than ever; it’s half the weight of the original and just a few centimeters thick. Like the old version it can play your DVDs and CDs making it an ideal device for saving space in your living room.
