What is your worst PS2 moment ?
Mine happened yesterday....
There I was playing Red Faction, just messing around killing people in new and inventive ways when I noticed the time and decided to call it a night.
Little did I know that I had a foot wrapped around the Dualshock cable... I got up , went to walk from the room when suddenly I felt a tugging sensation.
It was one of those moments when time seems to stand still, when it is obvious what is about to happen, but there's nothing that can be done about.
I saw my PS2 sliding from the table and gracefully arcing through the air, to land perfectly on its front right corner... on a hardwood floor.
I just froze, and the air turned blue with obsceneties !
The I looked up, the TV screen was black, TV was still turned on.
Oh Jaysus I thought, I've killed my PS2.
Thankfully I'd only pulled out the TV cable from the back. I put it back in, restarted the machine, and glory of glories it started up no problem. Sturdy machine that.
Not a pleasant moment.
Funnily enough, the buzzing noise from the DVD motor seems to have diminished ! Although I don't recommend this method of repair.
Anyone else out there got a bad PS2 experience ?

oops sorry
wow your a lucky guy!
I've kocked my 2 controllers of my small set of drawers a couple of times which is starting to get to me but my worst moment was when my PS2 memory card kept giving me a blue icon saying "corrupted data" then later on packed in all together with months of game saves which i worked very hard for, then to top that off I couldn't fnd the recipt ARRGHH £28 gone.
After recovering from my loss i rang Sony to see what i could do they said send it off to sony hq they'll examine it and if it's faulty they'll send me a new one, oh thankyou Sony.
So i sent it off with proof of postage and waited about 2 or so weeks and was getting frustated at not being able to save and gave them a ring to find out when I'll get new one.
A few days later i find a brand new PS2 memory card in the post and was very pleased that i didn't have to buy a new one but thats not the end of it a couple more days later ANOTHER memory card came in the post so now i have 16 mb of space haha, I'm sure Sony can spare it for a poor man like me so it's not a complete loss.

PS. one of the local shops stuffed 3 PS2's when they first got them in for release by standing them up on edge while they were turned on with a disk spinning in them
you would think they would have learnt something after the first one wouln't you!
apparently it can scratch the laser head so it won't read
SO WARNING!!! DON'T STAND YOUR PS2 ON END OR LAY IT DOWN WHILE IT'S TURNED ON!!!!!
PLEASE

In New Zealand Sony have been right A*sholes about fixing brocken PS2's, i know of 3 people who have had a fault with there's (less than a month old)and the repair agent and Sony have said that they have been droped and won't honour the warranty (when they had never ever been droped and handled like a baby!!) at least one of my friends managed to get the shop they brought it from to pay half (good on them) but that's not the point if they tell Sony it hasn't been droped then Sony should fix it free of charge
so it sounds like you guys in the UK have better service over there maybee it would be cheaper to mail it to a relative over there get Sony UK to fix it and mail it back!
