they are a relatively low price right now
there are tons of games for them
you can play DVDs on them, as well as games
the only downside is that the older units die after like 3 years.

PS2 will provide you a solid entertainment platform. However there are a few things to consider:
Pros:
* Low Price
* Large Game Library
* Huge Support Network
Cons:
* Limited Sony Life Cycle
* Limited New Games
* Dated Hardware

No downside - other than Sony perhaps abandonning it after a while - but no time soon. There are a milion games out for it, most are cheap now, due to the PS3.
I have an Xbox 360, a Wii and a PS3 - and I still play my PS2 as well (Guitar Hero II !!!_

My honest neutral opinion is to not get a PS2. Sony has already stopped production, there are still some being shipped though (full warehouses). There will be almost no new games for it and it has been replaced. If you want to buy a new gaming console, forget about the X-box, Gamecube, and PS2. They are dead. Meet the PS3, X-Box360, and Wii. You have to choose for yourself between those 3 though.

Yes get one. They are reasonably priced, easily found in stores, and games are readily available, new and used games. I received a PS2 as a present. I have bought all used games(under $10) from EB games,Game stop and Game Rush. They all guarantee the used games or they will replace it with one that works.

Good time to buy with the PS3 not far away, prices will drop as a result.
Not much downside really. Its a console with a huge selection of good games available.
