Compared to the original PS2, this version is a work of art. I don't think pictures really describe how great it looks and how small it is. It has already drawn many 'oohs' and 'aaahs' from my friends.
One thing I didn't expect was the inclusion of an IR port. I had the old remote control for the PS2 that required you plug that big IR receiver into the memory card port. I figured the old remote wouldn't work on the new machine but it does! And without any attachments at all.
The only reason not to get this system is perhaps if you need to use the hard drive add-on, although I think only one or two games (EverQuest is the only one I know of) actually use it.

PlayStation 2 Console - Black
By Slade's Downfall - reviews
I bought one of the old PS2 systems when it came out and it worked very well. It was my DVD player as well as my video game console. When I went on vacation I accidentally left it on and it fried. After five good years of service, it finally died.
I had to buy a replacement and so I bought the slimmer version. It works just as well as the other one did and takes up a lot less space on my TV stand. It plays all my games and my DVDs, so I am very satisfied with this Sony product.
I refuse to buy a PlayStation 3 just because I refuse to spend a great wad of cash for a video game console. And with the new Black and White PS3 systems that are being released in November which do not feature PlayStation 2 compatibility, I don't see why I should buy a PS3 right now when it means I'd have to keep my PlayStation 2 just to play my PS2 games is pointless.
If you're looking for a good game system for a low price, buy the PlayStation 2, it's very good for games and DVDs, especially since WII doesn't play DVDs.

PlayStation 2 SingStar Bundle - Ceramic White
By A. Louie (NY USA) - reviews
ever since my PS2 broke, I've been holding off on getting it replaced because I was planning on upgrading to a PS3, now I find out the PS3 is eliminating back-compatibility to cut costs. Here comes amazon gold box to the rescue! PS2 + singstar pop for $99! I was going to buy the SingStar game anyway, but now it's bundled into the PS2, the game itself is worth nearly 50 on it's own, which mean I just got a new PS2 for 50 dollars! well worth it in my opinion. SingStar is great! probably the best and worst feature of the game is that it has a feature where you can play back the song you just sang. (it's terrible if you sing as horribly as I do =P ). The game has full songs and music videos which is leaps and bounds better then those crappy home karaoke machines with their crappy MIDI syth'ed songs and no vocal tracks.
