Christmas , 2 years ago I recieved a Playstation 2. I was overwhelemed with joy but the worst was to come.There had been quite alot of problems with it.Some of these problems were
The disc tray started to shake as it came out,
The DVD Player wasn't working :Every DvD started to jump
When I switced it on to Play Grand Thef Auto 3 a blue spark came out of the memory card port.

I have had quite alot of friends who got a Ps2 but it broke.

So then , has your Ps2 ever broke ?

I know of no xboxs or gamecubes breaking. But i hear all the time about PS2s breaking.

Conclusion. Sony are cheap and spend hardly anything on making things finished off.

Solution. Buy an xbox/gamecube next time your PS2 breaks.

nope,
it has 1 problem, but i can live with it,
when ever i play a dvd it doesnt work if you go to the browser, you have to press the green light till it goes on standby, then click and hold the green light till the blue light goes on and that starts the dvd up automatically.

I too have had 2, but only because I sold my first for an Xbox, then got another for christmas off my girlfriend.

Never had any faults with either.

Last time I had a faulty console was on my first ever Playstation - around 4 years after having it, I foolishly got it chipped.

There is a video on Phi11ip's site called 'How to trash your gamecube'. It maybe something to do with the shape of the cube but throwing it out of the back of a pick-up and having it towed behing it for 200 yards watching it bounce and tumble along the road only for them to successfully boot up Mario Sunshine afterwards. It takes three sledge hammer blows before it is totally smashed.

My PS2 of 3 years works perfec'
I've never even been that careful either.

Like that thing about putting it on standby before turning the main switch off - what's up wth that. Most people who do that end up with a knackerd PS2, so i guess it's some kind of conspiracy.
