 Christmas 2010 Buy PS Two console Best PS 2 games PS 2 Online gaming Must have accessories Popular accessories PS2 modchip Eye Toy Must have PS2 accessories and addons for Christmas 2005Christmas Shopping Guide 2010: What else do I need to buy?If you've bought a PS2, the chances are you'll want to buy a few extras (games/accessories) to enhance the experience. Occasionally, PS2 bundles will be released which will contain a PS2 console, a controller and a mix of games and/or accessories. Such bundles will almost certainly be cheaper than purchasing each item separately.Take a look at the new controller for the Nintendo Revolution. Items to look out for: 
PS2 gamesThe most obvious and essential extra is a game (or games). There are literally hundreds of PS2 games to choose from, which can be daunting if you're not searching for any one in particular. If the idea of searching through 100s of obscure titles doesn't appeal to you, you may want to view the list of the best PlayStation 2 games.
PS2 memory cardThe PS2 doesn't come with a memory card as a standard. A PS2 memory card is vital to save game data, eg. saved characters, special weapons, saved levels, high scores, or custom controller settings. Unlike the Xbox console which has a built-in harddrive, the PS2 does not have any other means to store your current game status or settings. We recommend original Sony and Madcatz memory cards.Microsoft has announced that you will need memory storage to be able to use the Xbox 360 LIVE features. HOT TIP FOR PARENTS If the PS2 console is being used by more than one gamer it is recommended that you buy a memory card for each to avoid disasters where one inadvertently overwrites the others. 
An extra PS2 controllerSingle player gaming can be fun but it doesn't compare to that offered by playing with or against a group of friends. A number of PS2 controllers are available, but Sony's original Dual Shock 2 Controller still stands out as the most popular.
PS2 DVD remoteThe PS2 console comes with DVD functionality as a standard. No additional hardware is required. Although it is possible to control the DVD operation with the normal PS2 controller it is extremely cumbersome and frustrating. If you're serious about watching DVDs on the PS2 you will definitely want to invest in a PS2 DVD remote control.
PS2 network adapterThe PS2 Network Adapter is essential to enjoy the popular PS2 Online Gaming. Only the new slimline PSTwo comes with online gaming functionality built in. All other PS2 consoles require this adapter. |  |
