how do we know the real and fake ps2 before we buy it?

Question

As we know, now there are real and fake ps2 but the prices are quite same...How do we know whether it's real or not?

Answer 1

It's eazy if u r not dumb. The PS2 in which it's written, made in China r fake. Trust me everything else is original.

Answer 2

Don't ever, ever, ever, ever buy bootlegs of anything, or any kind of electronics, games, DVDs, jewelry, etc. etc. from any place that's not an actual retailer. Ever. That includes the blankets filled with your favorite DVD on the sidewalks of NYC. A) It's illegal. B) You never know what you're gonna get. C) You always, always get what you pay for.

That being said... buy your PS2 from Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop, EB, etc.. I bought my first one used from GameStop. They're pretty cool, cuz they guarantee it works, and if not, you can bring it back within X days. Had some issues that I incorrectly blamed on the system and brought it back for a new, slim one. Or, if you can, you might even wait for the new PS3 to come down in price, because now that it's out, many games are going to be designed for that system, and you'll find that less and less will be made for PS2 (cept, of course, for the "good" companies who finally understand that the PS2 is just a staple these days).

I will assume you are speaking of PS2 games. While it is nice to purchase from retail stores, not all of us can afford the prices. Pawnshops and flea markets do have great prices, and can be a positive experience for great deals. You just have to pay attention to certain details when buying secondhand. Original Playstation 2 discs have "Playstation 2" and the PS logo holograms on the underside of the disc. Look for this on the game side (opposite the label side) towards the center hole. "Fake" or pirated copies will not have this. Also, here are some more tips:

- Look at the packaging and avoid poor quality or photocopied printed labels.

- Genuine PlayStation One games are made from black polycarbonate

- Genuine PS2 games are blue on the back if a CD ROM version and silver on the back if a DVD version.

- Genuine games are never released on recordable CDs.
