Hi gang,

Thought about buying a PS2, but the used ones in my area range from $90-$120 at the game store, and $129 new. Is there any advantage buying used vs. new?

Thanks for your help,
Bob Cool

For the sake of $10 - $20 buy new,you will know what you own is good and get a warantee.

Go for the new one for sure. A lot of times people will sell their used ones becuase they are starting to go down the crapper. You can't really trust any used systems.

Well the great thing about buying a new sony product is that you can register it online through the sony style store and get a one year no questions asked warranty. I had to take advantage of that when the wife dropped her E-reader down the stairs and it looked like a really bad jigsaw puzzle.

They were very curteous and sent us fed ex prepaid labels for us to send it back to them. Took one week and we had the replacement with no payment required.
