Honestly--i have been really disapointed with my ps2, theres hardly abnd really good agmes out in the UK, and they break really easily i'm on my 4th one, and i have never had any other console break or get damaged before. If i was you, maybe pick one up for £50 there not bad as a dvd player 9thats all i use mine for now). The graphics are there main problem, there mairly current gen graphics, and can't stand up to other current gen's like cube or xbox, and shouldn't even be mutered in the same sentance as a next gen console. Get the 360 you won't regret it, thoguh you could get a cheap ps2 now, and a 360 when they go drop in price.
