Damnit, my PS2 broke.

[The Carver]

Bastard. I don't have all the stuff I need to fix it either.



At least my 360's alive.

use your 360 until the PS3 is cheap enough. backwards compatibility sure is a beautiful thing. or get one of those slim line ones if you like small quiet systems. but owning a 360 makes that not seem like an issue.

Yeah, I was mainly bummed because I use it as my DVD player in my room. But DVD players are pretty cheap anyways.

I might pick up the Slim, or just wait and get the right tools to fix it. I know I'm not paying Sony 600 bucks for something that should be half of that.

I almost want my PS2 to break so I have an excuse to get a slim PS2.

my ps2 is on his last leg... i've had it since launch, though, and i've already had an xbox crap out on me.

Mine is a launch PS2 too. The only problem I ever have with it is the playing of certain older games, particular blue discs, but that's easily solved by tilting the PS2 at an angle.

Hopefully it will last until I can get my hands on a PS3, which is probably a couple of years down the line.

strange, my playstation is still going strong after like nearly 10 years...

heck, my nintendo is still raging on after around 20...

i guess they don't make consoles like they used to....

Yeah, my PS2 gave out like two years ago. I had to buy a new one. I hope it lasts me until I get a PS3.

I'll be getting a slim ps2 after I move.

I don't like the slim PS2's. My friends broke on him. The fatboys are the ones that you need to buy.

Crap!

On my 2nd PS2 since launch, the first one I traded for a brand new one with when they added another processor or whatever they did. This one still works but my brothers kids dropped it 2 times one weekend, on my hardwood floor and then they dropped something on top of it. NOW it is slow when loading songs on madden 07 (when the game plays a new song while you are doing stuff in the menus) and it freezes for a bit. I have yet to try another game in it but that alone makes me want to just get a new one. They are only a hundred bucks and this one has millions o fhours logged on it so I am not too worried.

My xbox has had 2 new dvd rom drives put in and one new hard drive, all within the last year.

Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine, but when you spell damn it as one word please take out the n. It's spelled phonetically. Dammit. Have a nice day.

My PS2 is about 5 yrs. old and the only problem I'm having is playing movie DVD's. Games are fine, but for some reason it can't read movie discs, at least most of the time. Sometimes it will play if I try it a couple of dozen times, but I mostly give up after a few times 'cuz it's a PITA. I've read it may be due to dust on the laser lens, I'll see about getting a can of compressed air and cleaning it out. Do ya think that'll help?

Yeah, the cans of compressed air should help.
