I just watched a couple of hours ago a report on watchdog stating that all Ps2 oners in USA and Europe are having problems with their PS2's after their gaurentee has run out on each console and it will not let and game disc be read.
Sony is ignoring the question "was it a design fault?" and so far I think it was in my own opinion, but I suppose some of you owners out there will say "of course not Sony are GODS".

I will not say anymore since I am not a fanboy, but there will be a fanboy to keep you all on your insulting toes, so come on out Top Score show us what you and your Lexis can do.

*ahem*

I'll find the news story later but it was something along the lines of Sony getting caught because they were installing timers into their units causing them to stop working a year or so after they were bought.

The warranty no longer applies and the people have to buy a new PS2 :. doubling/trebling Sonys' profits and unit sales.

All you have to do to fix the problem though is to get a screwdriver, gently open the unit up and pull out the small silver device that looks like a motor.

Once you've done this, grab the rest of the console and throw it in the bin.

Link the motor up to 4 wheels and plug it in and you have a car.

More reliable and more fun.

I wondered tonight in the XBOX LIVE, HOW CAN SONY COMPETE? forum if song though people were mugs. This seems further proof that they do. along with how the DVD signals goes green if you upgrade the wire. Pure GOLD sony.

well GOLD is a four letter word.

Perhaps it’s a brand of nappys that Topscore uses.

The ps2 laser problem is huge, I worked in and ran a games shop for the last three months, and the amount of people with dodgy or broken ps2's was ridiculously high.

People don't realise that these things are made on the cheap and as such they put in dodgy cheap components (like the laser)

Ive still got my original ps2, but am on my third laser, damn sony and there yahoo ways!
