It's mid-May.

You get home from work/school, have your dinner, and go to play on your PS2, and it doesn't work.

Assume for the sake of this post that it's out of warranty, and Sony won't replace it (even though they are known for replacing out-of-warranty machines anyway).

What do you do?

a) Buy another PS2.
b) Buy an Xbox.
c) Buy a GameCube

Hmmmmm, interesting

I'd have to plump for...... E

E. pay my car insurance and get ready for the M.O.T. in June. And sadly cradle my copy of Gran Turismo 3 in my arms while dreaming of screaming engines and tortured tyres.

only joking. A.

I would probably buy a Gamecube and use the PS2 as a nice doorstop. My Dualshock is conking out, it sounds really crap and keeps getting weaker, is anyone elses?

Gamecube has already been paid for and is coming to my door on May 3rd.

Hmmmm, If my PS2 was brocked beyond repair I would take great joy in dropping it out of my bedroom window.

Do it with all my brocken stuff. Hate it when I find the receipt that says it is still under Warrenty though...Last thing I did it with was My old beard trimmer. didnt break totally so I mashed it with a Hammer.

I'm sure some magazine will give you a prize for smashing a PS2 up. Official Nintendo Magazine used to give 5 N64 games for any pics of Smashed up Playstations. Pritty good actually, buy a PSx for about £100 and get 5 £50 N64 games...

Option 'A' and then I'd cry because I couldn't play PES for a while :(

If you phone Sony, chances are they'll send you a new one. My mate FatButcher has already had 2 from them! :-)

Wonder how many PS2 games OPS2M would give me for a picture of an Xbox model made up entirely of Gamecubes?
