It's mid-May.

You get home from work/school, have your dinner, and go to play on your PS2, and it doesn't work.

Assume for the sake of this post that it's out of warranty, and Sony won't replace it (even though they are known for replacing out-of-warranty machines anyway).

What do you do?

a) Buy another PS2.
b) Buy an Xbox.
c) Buy a GameCube

When X-box and gamecube comes out, the ps2 should drop it's price to remain competition.
so then you could get a cheap replacement.

As for the original question. Its gotta be PS2. MGS2 still hasn`t arrived, plus there are all the games/controllers etc... that would be homeless.

If, and I hope it never did, my PS2 stopped working, I'd probably go back to playing on the Dreamcast. Unless Metal Gear Solid 2 was already out, in which case I'd beg, borrow and steal to get the money for another PS2.

It sure is. Chipping is not theft or loss, nor is it accidental damage - it's a deliberate action taken by you, rendering the insurance useless.

I would get another PS2, and while I was at the shop, I'd get an Xbox aswell.
