It was still working when I traded it in for my xbox360, but the laser was on its last legs. Occaslly I'd have to reinsert the disc 3 or 4 times before it would actually read it, or do stuff like turn my PS2 upside down and all ther old wives tales.
Poll: Poll:Is your PS2 still working?

Yes, my PS2 still works, as does my PS1, dont play them much anymore (Last year i played my PS1 more than my PS3
My original Ps2 was stolen along with my old wii. Of course.. a friend bought me a ps2 recently. I enjoy it far more than my modern consoles
Yep! Still works like new and I'm still playing games I haven't played/finished! Even the DVD-playing feature still works. In general, no new console can outlive the NES, N64, PS2, or an older gen console as far as I've observed. In fact, my brother burnt through two PS3's in two years before my PS2 controller, which worked perfectly fine for 7 years, died. While I appreciate the PS3's, Wii's, and 360's for their technological value, I hate them for their utterly weak "durability". Long live the PS2!
still works fine except for the controller, that broke a few years back. currently using a 3rd party controller.
I play my PS2 every now and again whenever I go to my mum's house. Only a few games I have work on it still though (more down to how I didn't really look after the game disks than the PS2 itself). PS2 still works fine though, but I have to hold the disk tray open or it won't come out properly and will close before I can put a disk in. I've had more than enough broken controllers from when I use to really rage at certain games when I was younger (damn you fifa street)
I actually bought a game to play on it last year which was Persona 4 and it was probably my best buy overall of that year.

Mine is 10 years old and it still works. It's on its last legs though - the DVD drawer doesn't retract fully, so I have to push it in, and it sometimes will just jettison the DVD drawer for no reason during the middle of gameplay. The controller wires are finicky - if I hold the controller in a certain way, or twist the cord in a certain way, the controller won't work. Load times have increased, as has the general noisiness of the machine. But most of the time it still works. But I have a nasty feeling that it'll stop working quite soon. So I'm happy that PS2 games are being remade. About the only PS2 games I've ever really cared about were FFX, MGS2 and Silent Hill 2, and all of those are coming to PSN, either as a re-release or a remake, so I'm happy. My PS2 could die today, and I wouldn't be too fussed about it.
Mine's always hooked to the tv for the same reason.Crimson-regret said:
Well, and to give all those HDrereleases the finger. I got em all still working.
Oh, and welcome to the escapist.
Yup, mine is working perfectly fine. 
Although I have a similar situation to yours. My controllers aren't working anymore. x3 I don't know when if ever I'm going to get a new one. xP

Yeah, it's working.
Mostly just use it when i get a craving to replay the Sly series or the original Ratchet and Clank games.

I was playing Chaos Legion and Gungrave:OD just last night.. I keep my consoles in good shape so that I have the option to come back later if i want to
Release day (Euro - 2000) PS2 here, still very much going and in tip top condition. Brilliant old machine.
