Best racer you can find with any bundle.

Gran Turismo 3 is the best racer I ever played. Xbox's Project Gathom Racing is no where near as fun as this.Currently the only racing game I own is Gran Turismo 2 for PS1 and it's not even any where near as fun as Gran Turismo 3. If you don't want the PS2 for Gran Turismo 3 than get it for any of the other top rated games such as Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Libraty, Grand Theft Auto 3, and Final Fantasy 10. The Xbox will have some of these games but the Xbox's controller will make the games hard and difficult to play. But be warned these games on the Xbox will have a better story line and probaly have better gameplay. The Xbox's advantages over the PS2 is that it has a hard drive and a modem for online play. The PS2 will have these options but they are sold separtly which will add on to the price you have to pay. I recommend the Playstation 2, over the X-box!

Straight up, this is the best thing on the market. The PS2 is a must have for any serious gamer, as it surpass even my experiences on my pc (1.5 GHz P4). The graphics this thing pumps out are insane, and the game developers haven't even utilized the machine to it's full capcity yet. Seriously, if your torn between a pc for gaming or a PS2, go with the PS2, you will not be disappointed.

Great Deal!

This is one of the better bundles I've seen in quite a while. Aside from the fact that you're getting a Playstation 2, you're getting one of the best games released for the system so far. To say that the overall experience derived from this game was fantastic would be an understatement. This is about as close as you're going to get to real racing without sitting in a stock car. Graphic wise, I do consider myself a fan of the series in general, as the detailing of the cars was often unmatched. However after playing this game, the previous PS1 titles look horrible and are rendered almost unplayable. It really is that good. If you're a fan of either of the first two games and don't have a PS2, this is a must buy!

Did not receive the system we ordered

We ordered the system with the V3FX steering wheel, DVD remote control. We did not recieve the two items with our order. We also sent an email to the company concerning the two items 2 days ago, they have not returned a reply within 24 hours as they indicated on their web site. Nor have they sent one within 48 hours. So please beware of their lack of supply and response.

Don't buy the PS2 console this year.

I bought the Sony Playstation 2 game console, along with $300.00 of accessories, last year for Christmas. The game console comes with nothing. No remote, no games (unless you buy the so called value packs), nothing. You even have to buy the stand for it separately! But that isn't the problem.

The problem is, I bought the remote control unit from the Sony store (...). The remote control unit is REQUIRED if you want to use the console as a DVD player. It just will not work any other way. Several weeks after Christmas, the whole thing just quits working. I called Sony and they told me that the remote control unit (that I bought from the Sony store) caused the console to break and they would not cover the cost of fixing it. They said my warranty was VOID! The reason? Because I used an unsupported device to control the DVD player. First of all, I bought the remote control unit from Sony. Second of all, the package had a BIG PS2 logo on it. Third, the Sony sales person told me that I had to buy that unit in order to use the DVD player. And last, there was no other remote unit offered in any store, anywhere! To make matters worse... When I called Sony, the first thing question they asked was if I used a remote control device with the system. They knew that this was a problem and they sold me the unit anyway.

So, if you want to invest (...) in a game system this Christmas, don't buy Sony or you might wide up with a broken pile of (...). The games were not even that great anyway. (...)Just don't buy Sony. Never buy Sony!

Wow! That's pretty much the word I need to describe this bundle. Originally when I was looking for a Ps2, I wuz going for the normal Gt3 bundle (you know, with the extra Dualshock 2 and Memory card along with the Gt3 and system) for 400 dollars. That was on EBgames.com. Then I saw this. Wow!. All that stuff that I was going to get, plus 6 EGM magazines (which are great) AND the Gt3 player's guide. For the same price.

If you don't have a Ps2, and are looking for one, this is a great start. It gives you all the basics you need to play, including a extra DualShock 2 for multiplayer. Oh yeah, and if you figure it out, you're saving almost 75 dollars if you buy this bundle.

A Tip

A tip to last a lifetime: never trust anyone that can't spell "finally." This is a great system to own if you don't already have a PSX, considering it plays all of the old games as well. If you already have a Playstation, I'd suggest you wait until there's a bigger selection of PS2 games available or until you feel you're behind the times in technology.

But overall, if you want a good starting system, it would be it. There's literally thousands of old Playstation games at relatively low prices that're easy to find. A must-have for any die-hard gamer or beginner in the business.

if you like racing buy this pack

The playstation 2 is my all time favorite game system of all time! And the game GT3 is also great. I can't put the controler down. The game's graphics will make you weepand the gameplay is just as good. The PLaystation can also play DVD's, whitch is great if you don't have a DVD system. the game GT3 does get kind of hard but is still the best game i ever have. so if you like video games buy this pack.
p.s. the magazines are great too.

Not worth buying anymore

Aside from Gran Turismo 3 and Twisted Metal Black, all of Playstation 2's killer franchises are going over to XBOX. Plus, XBOX has a total of 40 1st and 2nd party studios making games for it. If you are looking for a console this christmas, look to the XBOX for superior graphics, better DVD playback, high definition gaming, builtin broadband adapter for internet gaming, 4 ports without the need for a multitap, hard drive for saving games instead of memory cards and for storing your own personal game soundtracks on, and realtime DD5.1 all for the same price as a PS2! In other words, the smart buy is XBOX.

Great System

This is a great system and will last for a long time. It plays DVDs and old PS games. What could be better? I wish they would make a Racer's Pack with NASCAR Heat 2002.

P.S. Why do people write reviews when all they do is blast the system and forget about using proper punctuation? I hate it when I am trying to base my purchasing decision on reviews and all I can find is garbage from people trying to drag down the ratings for a particular item.

Great System!
