"Do PS2's break too often?"

i regularly post on the ps.com forums and there is always someone in the playstation 2 section requesting help because their ps2 has broken. then more people say how theirs has broken before.

has your ps2 broken before? have you had to buy a replacement? did you not bother and buy an Xbox or 'Cube? do you think it happens too much?

i do. they are gaining a noteriety for breaking whereas the nintendo Nes still works even now if you give it a bit of loving.

what are your thoughts

how? mine won't play DVDs and started to stop playing games.

I was told it was a new laser job (£70), to which I said 'go to hell', and bought an xbox.

mine broke slightly when it decided to stop playing games but my pops fixed it.

Poor thing died so young.



YOUR FAULT!

my ps2 died earlier this year.

the only thing I miss on it is GTA3 and Vice City, which will soon be released on xbox. I would have missed Gran Turismo aswell but PGR2 is much better than that.

My PS2 and GC are both functioning perfectly after 3.5 and 0.7 years of owernship respectively.
*Pose*

Maybe the time bomb forgot to go off in it

My x-box must be due to explode pretty soon.

And then Microsoft will sent a courier to pick it and will charge me for it... Hrmpphh

You must have a magic on or something.

I've had numerous problems with my PS2.

It has trouble playing the majority of DVDs I own, it now can't play games unless it's in the horizontal position, and it also occasionally fails to start up games properly. It's not really broken, as such, but has plenty of problems.

I've had precisely 0 problems with my Gamecube since I got it just over a year ago.

I've had my PS2 for 3 years now, not one problem.

Alot have broken yes.
Too often, dunno i bought a good console.

Xbox.
