Poll: Poll:Is your PS2 still working?

[duktapeman90]

My first PS2 (original) still works, but you gotta get the A/V cable in just the right position or you can't see anything. I eventually got feed up with it and bought a new pre-owned Slim model to replace it. So, yeah, it still technically works but I don't use it anymore.

I've got a working PS2,Xbox 1, Dreamcast and N64, hell I'm keeping a chunky old CRT TV around just to have them connected to, so it doesn't look all crappy thru my LCD.

 

[drwow]

Nope, I've gone though three of them and gave up after the third one.
The laser readers are just too damn weak on them, which was the problem with each one.

MY ps2 is an original fat model, still going strong, and for anyone that has games not working like star wars or rogue galaxy, goto youtube and search for lense cleaning ps2, I took mine apart 3 times and cleaned the bugger with a Q-tip and small dab or rubbing alcohol and all my games worked fine afterwards, even my Silent Hill 2 game

 

[LuckyClover95]

Yes, slim. Got a PS3 Slim too. I can't believe you're on your third Xbox...

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Well it better should. Its not that old afterall. half an hour ago i played Pirates! on my NES. tell that to your defective youngling of a PS2 if it doesnt work properly next time.It should be ashamed.

 

[DanielDeFig]

Yes (Slim)
No (Original)

 

[Linkassassin360]

Mine broke the day the ps3 came out, and 2 of my friends did shortly after.
We are all still suspicious.

 

[BgRdMchne]

My slim works, no problem.
My fat wasn't working until today. Just had to clean the laser, adjust its angle, and blow out the dust, and it works now. Think I'm gonna let a friend of mine borrow it or just sell it to him for cheap.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Umm, probably? Haven't used the thing in quite a while, but it was fine last time I checked so I assume it's alright.

 

[Tohru_Readman]

My slim is still working but after playing it for about 40 minutes. The fan gets really noisy, so I think it's going to die this year. To be fair I have, had it for at least 7 years.

 

[CazGirl]

Yep my original is still going strong after 10 years! I don't use it for DVDs though as I hear that burns them out pretty quick?

 

[smearyllama]

I've got a brick I got a couple of years ago to play RE4, and it still works fine.
I got a bunch of games from a friend recently, along with his SNES, so I've been playing some Timesplitters: Future Perfect.
It's awesome.

currently playing chrono chross on my slim Ps2 from like 7-8 years ago, and still have a working copy of ffx

 

[TheColdHeart]

Mine is an original and must be about 9 years old now. It does still 'work' although it sounds like a jet fighter taking off and the load times seem to be longer than they were when I first got it. All in all, it's a tank.

 

[Brandon237]

PS2 Slim, still works last time I used it, 7 years old. So I know it worked for at least 6 years

WOOH! Post number 100. In the forum, my count is... higher.

 

[bruunwald]

Your poll doesn't give an option for "yes, my second one is working, but just barely, after the first one konked out on me after less than two years of service, and like all Sony equipment (how do they stay in business building such wonky crap?) my PS3 has been faulty and buggy from the very beginning."

So I didn't vote.

In all seriousness, you should include something in the poll about which PS2 we're on at this point (our second, third, fourth, etc.) since as I understand it, many of us were forced to buy more than one after each one tanked.

 

[00slash00]

i had heard people say that the ps2 breaks a lot. i got an original ps2 that my friend didnt want anymore, back in 2005 (and since it was used i dont know how much older than that it was) and neither the controllers or the console have ever given me trouble (though the dvd player doesnt work as well as it used to)

 

[LorChan]

I don't get a chance to use it much (similar controller issue) but it still works. The one I had when I was really young died, but the one we replaced it with is going strong.

 

[w9496]

Nope. I havethe slim version, and it'll only play games for 15 minutes. Then it decides to turn itself off.
