Advantages: Looks good, quality feels good

Disadvantages: The PS2 is perfectly secure on its own!

The Sony Playstation 2 vertical stand is an accessory for the original Playstation 2 console.

This vertical stand will help your Playstation 2 stay upright, it is coloured in the Playstation 2 black along with blue for the end pieces which is the same sort of colour as the Playstation 2 box or the PS2 font on your console.

It looks pretty good but it will increase the area your Playstation 2 takes while its vertical so not best in places where space is a premium. The quality is good and it has a nice weight to it so the stand won't be contributing to any fallen Playstation 2s!

The stand is dead easy to use just place your Playstation 2 inside of it and you're done, the fit is reasonably good and the Playstation does seem a little more secure. Even a monkey could do it! So it is easy to use and looks good, it ticks all the boxes so far.

The stand does have one major flaw however, it is simply unnecessary! The Playstation 2 has 4 rubber feet placed on it both horizontally and vertically so it can grip on to any surface. The console is also wide enough and of substantial weight not to fall down on its own without some serious provocation, which makes the value of this accessory very questionable indeed!

Unless you are a bit of a clumsy person or are always worried your Playstation is going to fall over (yes all 1 of you!) I wouldn't recommend one of these stands to you.

Summary: An unnecessary accessory!
