I've decided to fork out £400 of my hard-earned cash to purchase a Games Console to play games on, the least it could do for me is work. Is this too much to ask?
Mid-January I had purchased a PS2 from a local retailer of mine, got it home, first thing I'd noticed was that it was incredibly noisy. Now, Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast was known to make a bit of a racket, so I put it down to the games. I dunno, maybe I was ignorant at the fact that I had a faulty PS2. Under a month later, the thing gave up on me.
Mid-February I received a replacement PS2, since the one I had previously purchased, lasted about a month.
I am sad to say, my replacement PS2 which I received is showing the same symptons as that of my faulty machine. And surprise, surprise, I'm not exactly a happy bunny.
It started this evening when I popped in my ISS disc for a spot of Footie action, to which I was greeted with a CD Drive noise that was reminiscent of a Lawnmower. I had a 30 minute burst on the game, to see if the drive-noise would 'just go away'. It didn't. I then procedded to try my other games (SSX and Tekken Tag) and both worked fine with a minimal amount of drive-noise.
What do I do? Phone Sony expressing my disappointment with their product or bury my head in the sand again and wait for it to go wrong?
