Page 1 of Slimline PS2 & the younger family members

Christmas is coming & the wife says I am getting fat
Shes going to take a shilling out of the old mans hat
(or at least give my credit limit a thrashing to within a inch of its life)

After much deliberation, purchased a PS2 (slimline) for my daughter, as shes younger I took a bit of care (OK OK I just saw the bundle & not seeing anything more suitable or comparable for her age group) & jumped in flashing my CC.

For £144.99 at MVC gets you

Slimline PS2
Second (non Sony Controller)
Finding Nemo
Simpsons Hit & Run
Sonic (the Hedgehog) Heroes
Scooby Doo 100 Fright Nights

Not a bad deal IMO (we have the Eye Toy from Big Brothers Bigger PS2 (he`s going to be well possed Christmas morning)) in the lack of any other suitable bundles for the younger gamer.

looks good, how does the slim ps2 load the dvd`s ? is it a slot mechanism ?

still shoulda got an x-box tho ;) i know someone that may have given you a load of games :) if you got it chipped ;) mmmmmmmmmmmm mame

The drawer slides out same as before (I think), opted for the PS2 because the number of games she has on the PSone & she could always borrow bigger bro`s games if he lets her.

The PS2 slim has a top loading, flip up top for the discs. There is also some good bundles at Toys R Us more suited to the younger gamer.
Currys (DSG) are also doing some good deals. You can get the following for £120 delivered :-

Playstation 2 Console
Game: Soul Calibur 2
Game: International Cue Club
Game: Mad Catz Xploder Lite 2
Game: Rollercoaster World
Madcatz Dance Mat
Lighted DVD remote

You can get the GTA San Andreas pack too with 10% off if you order at the same time. This consists of :-

Game: GTA San Andreas
Game: DRAKENGARD
CHEATS DISC
CONTROLLER

If you use the discount voucher that is available, this little lot comes in at just over £140, which seems like a bargain :D :D Not to mention the £10 voucher for spending over £100.

Just popped into the local Currys (literally on my back doorstep), was about to correct the "flip-top" earlier post.

Only the Game & dancemat would have been of any use to her, the games could be passed onto the brother, but I would still have to buy replacements for her, the bundle isnt suitable for everyone I admit, but for the child concerned I think its the best I could hope to achieve.

One currently one happy daddy having solved one child now for Christmas, just two more to go & then the wife. :)
