"PS2 crashed at Gameshow!"

I find it amazing how people will happily take pot shots at the Xbox for crashing once at E3, but rarelt remember the disasters that happened to the PS2... so I dedicate this topic to all such people...

A month before the PS2's launch, Sony held a HUGE gameshow in Tokyo dedicated to the console. PS mags tlked about the show for pages on end, but many of them failed to mention the disasters that occurred...

The mainscreen, big demos crashed repeatedly... to such a point that a large number of them were not shown after the first day... slightly worse that Xbox's one crashed demo at E3...

Add to that the actual playable demos... so many of these pods crashed that Sony not only drilled holes into the consoles' pod cases overnight to allow access to the reset button, but even employed hundreds of lovely looking women to stand by the consoles and hit the reset buttons whenever the consoles crashed!

And then, a few months later, the Xbox is shown off at E3. It has a great show, with one small problem- one of the mainscreen demos crashed once, at the end of a press show. Big deal? Well, if you believe the mags it is- Sony fan boys are still in the Xbox forum talking about this one, small problem.

Now, I wonder... how many fan boys are going to see the title of the topic... skim read it... and then post abuse about the PS2 being great. (Which it certainly is! After all, I wouldn't have bought one if I didn't think so!)

Kid Rock, you've hit on my point... the fact that all the games crashed made no difference to the final product, and nor will Xbox crashing in America 6 months before release!

Oh, and odd you won for a DMC review... coz I just won that game:)

PS2 crashed at gameshow before it had been launched? so what? mine never crashes so that mean the problem must have been fixed

yes... and because they don't like the thought of people thinking the PS2 may not be the best next gen console... don't want bad press do they?

the mags didnt speak of it because they know ps2 is wicked and crap box is crap.
