PS2 Console Still Worth Buying?

[FeathersMcGraw]

You really can't go wrong with the Wii (and the VC/Gamecube library), but the addition of the near-infinite PS2 library should ensure that your kids become doughy couch potatoes in mere months. Unless you take appropriate parental action ("No arguments! No more playing PS2 games unless you do at least an hour of Wii Sports Boxing!")

Well, I bought a used slim PS2 system from a local guy via ebay. Picked it up in person. Came with 19 games (probably 13 of which my kids would play). $100. Came with 2 wired PS2 controllers and 2 wireless Psyclone blue controllers. Also a GH wireless guitar and GH2 and a DDR mat and game.

I can't get one of the two Psyclone controllers to work at all. The other works fine. I also am having an issue with a couple buttons on one of the two wired PS2 controllers. Hopefully I can fix it. I also have two Logitech USB controllers that look just like a PS2 controller. Can I plug those into the USB ports of the PS2? I haven't found yet what the two USB ports on the PS2 are for. Thanks.

Is it worth buying? Yes. Though, I don't know about using it for 6 or 7 year olds...

The Twisted Metal series is still one of my all-time favorite games. It just simply never gets old! Additionally, there's many RPG-type games for the PS2, which your kids may enjoy in a couple years from now.
