Hello fellow gamers! This is a safety annoucement from the good people at Sony Interactive Entertainment!
You may have been wondering recently about your new Playstation 2 which you will order soon, you may have been thinking about what you can or cannot do with it. Well worry no longer, as SIE is here to help!
Firstly, and most obviously, NEVER, under any circumstances touch your Playstation 2, as this will cause damage to the fragile chips inside and may also break the brittle cover.
Secondly, to open the DVD drive, for the first three months you MAY use the eject button provided. BUT, after three months, it will be necessary to use a screwdriver to prise open the stiff drive bay.
Thirdly, always believe that Playstation 2 is the most advanced system around, and if you are told otherwise, overcome them with childish and petty remarks! It worked for us!
Fourthly, never visit any websites that are not affiliated with or made by Sony. These will contain harmful material that will destroy your computer, and if you manage to get into these websites, know that all they say to oppose Sony is wrong and untrue. You know that Playstation 2 is the most advanced console around, and the best one for everything.
Fifthly, and lastly, never chip your Playstation 2 with a chip that makes the console play illiegal copied games. But if you do, make sure it is an offically produced Sony chip!
If you follow these simple rules, your game playing life will last as good as a year, when as always, the system will break down and will not work any longer. When this happens, immediatly buy a new Playstation 2 to fix the problem.
Thank you for your cooperation!

a poem about the best thing made by man

THE PLAYSTATION

The playstation is always the best
Better than any of the rest.
Some May think it’s classic,
Others may think its Jurassic.

With games such as VIGILANTE 8
The grey box can be classed as heavens gate.
With plenty of action
You’ll soon see the attraction

Some may want to buy a dreamcast
But at the end of the day that will always come last
The playstation is always the best
Better than any of the rest.
The games are so cool
That’s why I think the playstation does rule.

Sony has found that there were 2 problems commonly found with the PSX. Firstly, they were liable to overheat and, secondly, their lasers sometimes became misaligned. In both cases, owners of the PSX needed to stand their console on its side.

With the PS2, however, we have created special blue stands to hold your console in this position. These will cost a mere £29.99, but will ensure that you can use your £300 piece of hardware.

......sixthly (if that's a word) NEVER, NEVER, EVER buy a PSX2 with your own money as you will only be using it to buy something you have always but never wanted!

If you haven't got the message by now then what we (or I) am saying is DON'T BUY SONY'S CHEAP MERCHANDISE!
