So, if you're looking to get your hands on one, you'll have to explore second-hand markets or retro gaming stores.

Retro consoles and buying tips
Looking for a PlayStation 2? It launched on March 4, 2000 in Japan and reached other regions later that year. That makes PS2 units retro collectibles now. Check reliable second-hand stores, retro gaming shops, and local classifieds. Always test discs, inspect controllers, and ask about return policies before you buy.
For other retro buys, bring a small checklist: power up the console, test outputs, check for disk read issues, and look for corrosion on ports. Simple checks save you from costly repairs later. If a seller offers a bundled library of games, make sure the popular titles you want are included and not just demos or corrupted discs.
