Poll: Did your PS2 ever break?
- Thread starter ten.to.ten
- Start date
Mine stopped reading original playstation black discs and ps2 games on purple/blue discs after about a year. I opened it up and re-aligned the laser, which worked for about a week.
I never had a problem with DVDs and DVD games, which was lucky as all my favourites were on DVDs!

Neither of my personal PS2's failed although they only had light use. However the PS2's were a constant pain in the neck at work as the test versions (same as the retail ones but could play any region, cd-r/dvd-r etc. and couldn't play DVDs) had lasers that failed all the time leading to me sending back two or three weekly on regular basis.
My PS2 broke once after years of faithful service...the reason why it broke you ask?..uh..well um let's just say it resented being placed on precarious perches.
I later bought I new one because I had yet to finish Kingdom Hearts 2 and it still works today, my ever faithful friend, bringing me Shadow of the Colossus and Persona 4.

My original ps2 got swapped or a slim when that was the big new thing. but neither have ever been of any bother to me. My GF's has recently started to become quite funny about playing DVD's but it still plays games perfectly well.
Yeah, I bought my first one back before Sony really started doing quality control. It was the laser disc problem, but it was replaced. That one lasted until just a few months ago when the power supply in it failed, and I replaced it with one of the new slims. I ended up having to crack open that PS2 so I could release the lock in place on the DVD drive to get my Persona 4 disc out.
I have never (fingers crossed) had a problem with my PS2 and its the old fat model. It used to be set up on our kitchen table and as a result had all sorts spilled on it, tea, coffee, food etc and it keeps on working. It is now in my room and gets dusted every other day so it doesn't get too dusty, and it keeps on working (at least it better, I just got Silent hill 3 the other week and I still need to get around to playing it)
Mine broke once, but thats because my mom tripped my control cord and it the floor. Had to get the new slim, which has worked since then. But I believe that my original fat would still work had it not hit the floor.
Ah PS2, that magnificently designed SOB....

I had and old fat thone that eventually broke... it made a funny noise and scratched the discs while at it.
Now i have a slim one that has been gathering dust for the last 2-3 years... but i bet it's 5 years old!

Other than generally being worn out (a lot of PS1 games, DVDs, and some PS2 games don't work on it), nope.
Granted, it is the 'thick' model I bought in 2003 that's survived bumpy car rides and falling off a bunk bed, so I think it's done well.
