Currently, a piece of toast is winning this race due to the INTENSELY annoying 'disc read error' thing.
Sometimes games feel like loading for me when I tip it on end a bit, just HIGHLY irritating when it REFUSES to play any of the spooled movie sections from Zone Of The Enders...

You're not alone. My launch PS2 is also still going strong.
But as I've always said, when you've sold that many more units than the competition, it seems obvious to me that faults will be more widely reported.
On the flipside, my (launch) Xbox is on its 2nd hard drive, and has recently started giving me the 'dirty disc' error. I also noticed that it's put some lovely circles around my NFS Underground disc.
So from my perspective, who makes the shoddier machine?
It's all relative.

But 'PS2 Launching' is my FAVOURITE game, what am I going to otherwise? You're not seriously suggesting I do something drastic like leave my house!?

I agree with Edgy athough i have a PS2. I actually have a fact about this error thingy, the error normally happens after about 2 years but the good thing is that it only affects consoles with a certain module number. I found this out on google.com but aint gotta clue what i typed in , sorry!

Well my brother's PS2 was well looked after - I don't think one bit of dust ever even entered the vents and not a single game got scratched.
You see, the fault is mechanical, not through accidental damage.

You just need to look after your PS2 and it will be fine, mine is. Just stop throwing it agaist the wall when another crap game comes out for it
Thankyou :)

I wouldn't expect to have to pay for a new console if the console isn't doing as it is intended to, without the fault being put down to accidental damage.
After all, under the trading standards act, a product is supposed to be able to do what it is designed for, for a reasonable amount of time. You would expect a videogames console to last longer than 15 months wouldn't you?
