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!)

now we have proof that the PS2 is crap.
Yep. Thanks. For raising this. It crashed. Loads of times, and looked what happened. It still sold like super hot cakes. I suspect that Sony said there was a free dinisaur egg inside so everyone rushed out and bought one.
But, you are correct. They drilled holes in the machines for easy access to the reset button. And employed very lovely loking ladies to press them. But, if you have the money :-)
