Is the PlayStation 2 still worth buying today?

For retro gaming fans the PlayStation 2 remains appealing thanks to one of the largest game libraries of any console. It is valued for classics that never came to modern platforms. Compare New and Refurbished PlayStation 2 prices across sellers on Shopfox to find a tested unit that fits your setup.

Why does my PlayStation 2 have trouble reading discs?

Disc-read errors are one of the most common PlayStation 2 issues as the laser and its alignment age over time. Cleaning the lens or, in some cases, adjusting the laser can help, but it is a well-known wear point on older units. When buying a used PlayStation 2 on Shopfox, favor listings that confirm the disc drive has been tested.

How do I connect a PlayStation 2 to a modern TV?

The PlayStation 2 outputs analog video (composite, component, or S-Video depending on the cable), so on a modern HDMI TV you will usually need a component input or an analog-to-HDMI converter box. There is no native HDMI port on the console. Many buyers pick up a converter separately, so keep that in mind when reviewing PlayStation 2 setups on Shopfox.
