Multi-Tap : This device expands your PS2 from two controller jacks to four. It's an excellent fit for families, as well as college folks who are always hosting large groups of friends.

Cooling Fan : Some find that their PS2s tend to overheat after hours of play. Fans attach to your console and provide constant cooling to the machine.

Vertical Stand : The PS2's footprint is considerably smaller when you hoist it on end with the help of the vertical stand. It latches onto your PS2 and blends in with the look and feel of the console.

VGA Box : If you'd like to max out your graphics by using your high-resolution computer monitors instead of TVs to view your game action, get a VGA box, which hooks your PS2 up to VGA-compatible monitors.

Keyboard : This tool is a must for hackers. Input your code to alter your PS2  -- which, beware, voids the warranty -- and manipulate the system to your demands with the help of this keyboard.

Wireless Gun : First-person shooters are a heck of a lot more realistic when you're armed with a gun rather than tapping out button combos to lay waste to your opponents. That this baby is wireless increases its feel.

Onimusha 3 Sword Controller : Another peripheral that greatly increases your sense of visceral thrills is this handy sword, made especially for the ninja-themed epic Onimusha 3. This slasher makes for the best possible experience playing the game.

Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw : Like the sword controller, this chainsaw lets you use one of Resident Evil 4's most dangerous weapons while wielding a controller that looks like what your character has onscreen. If you've got small, easily-scared kids you may want to stay away from this baby.

Logitech Headset : This headset model provides an adjustable mouthpiece -- good for online smack-talking -- and a lightweight feel.

Sony Headset : Sony's official PS2 headset provides few advantages over the Logitech model. Gamers tend to favor Logitech's design. Sometimes the PS2 set can be found for a cheaper price.

Earbud Headset : Providing the feel of iPod earbuds, this headset won't mess up your hair. Its sleek size allows for easier storage.

Ericcson Headset : High-tech looking, like a cell phone hands free set, Ericcson's headset helps you look good as you game and talk online. The wireless capabilities help free you up.

DVD Playback Kit : The tried-and-true Sony model works well with the PS2, although a design flaw in the battery case tends to let batteries fall out of place in some of these.

Multi Remote Controller : A strong alternative to Sony's remote, this device gets the job done, helping you watch DVDs and listen to CDs on your PS2.

Intec Remote : What makes the Intec model stand out is its backlighted keypad set, which helps you make out the buttons in the dark. Perfect for those who place their PS2s at the center of their home theater system.

Multi Remote Control : Bright design with large buttons make the Multi a solid choice for families with old folks and small children. Generally solid reviews surround the device.
