Poll: Did your PS2 ever break?

[HemlockDalise]

Our PS2 never broke until it finally kicked the bucket and exploded, melting the game inside it. I was annoyed, because I still liked playing the games and my brothers always monopolised it, and it was them that made it explode.

My best friend still has hers, and we drag it out occasionally to play Rayman M.

Has it failed on me? No. Did it break after I was stupid enough to try to modchip it by myself? Ye-YEAHHHHH!

My laser quit working, so I tried fixing it with smashing it in the floor(I've always been a technical genius). Didn't work and the game I had forgotten inside got destroyed.
Got a new one that has worked ever since. Think it was at least seven years since the first one broke.

Mine stopped working a few months before I got my Xbox 360, which also broke once before I got a slimline one.

My PSOne still works fine, which is cool.

My PS2 has never failed me, even when i pissed off my older brother by beating him at his fave game. He threw it across the room. When we plugged it back in, it continued to work. Bless it. It worked up until i got a PS3 and I forgot about it... I may go dig it out again... Have a go again...

Mine still works like its new and the poor thing doesn't look new, its dusty, scratched and chipped and it's still able to play games and DvDs.

Just yesterday I pulled myself together and gave mine a good clean for the first time in 8 years, as it was getting a bit picky about what it wanted to play and when it wanted to play it ;P Now it's back to full speed.

I got my first PS2 right around the time Unreal Tournament came out. It still hasn't died on me. I bought a slim so that I could leave the other at home (since it became the family DVD player) when I went to school and that is still with me as well.

Has it failed me? No. Did it break after I stupidly decided I would try to mod it myself? HECK YEAH!

I got an original PS2 phat version in 2003, and it lasted me several years with no problem. It still works today, however the mechanism that allowed it to play blue-sided discs broke. I was no longer able to play Ico or any early era game.

I got a new PS2 slim and have never had any problems with it.

I did get another PS2 just because it was there, a silver one that I didn't need. But it was new and I wanted to spend money on something.

So I've had 3 systems, but only needed 2. On the bright side, I own 3 awesome systems.

 

[Sparrow]

Nope. Infact, the only time anything do go wrong with it was due to the fact I dropped a shit load of coke on it.

 

[Echo136]

Never had a problem with mine, and I had it since the PS2 first came out.

 

[Mr Binary]

I have never had my PS2 break on my and I still play it today. It may be one of the few systems that hasn't failed from wear and tear.

 

[TilMorrow]

My first didn't fail me so I bought another one... so that I could play in TWO different rooms.

 

[I Resurection I]

I'll say once, but only because it stopped reading DVD's for some strange reason. but otherwise worked smoothly.

 

[v3n0mat3]

I've had 3 PS2s.

First one just died on me. No big deal. The other two worked perfectly fine!

 

[KefkaCultist]

The only thing thats happened to one of mine is that port 1 stopped reading my controllers. I had another PS2 laying around though so I swapped them out.

 

[windlenot]

I heard a friend claim of his DVD drive breaking after some years, but mine never had any problems, even after I tore the cover off.

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

I still play on the same ps2 i bought 10 years ago. It sometimes refuses to play some dvds, but other than that it works fine! I still play Buzz! games when i have a few friends over. The most reliable system i ever played on, that´s for sure.(ok, my girlfriend´s NES is still alive and kicking so that might not be completely accurate)

Haven't had any issues with the pre-owned PS2 Slim I've had since 2008 (despite it having been dropped to the floor about 3 times, while on and with a spinning disc inside), except that Quake 3 Revolution barely works on it, but that was a used game I got from GameStop, and despite replacing it 3 times I always get discs that look like they've been rubbed against sand paper, so I don't think these problems were the fault of my PS2.
Just bought a second PS2 Slim, not pre-owned this time, and it'll be interesting to see if it will outlive the PS3 I bought last month.
