Poll: Poll:Is your PS2 still working?

[Padwolf]

My original PS2 is still running, it has never once failed me, it's always been perfect. I hope it stays that way!

 

[Snotnarok]

I only had one PS2 fail on me but it would have been an easy fix had I known all you need to do to fix disc read errors is open it up and turn a gear specifically. No joke there's a number of sites that show how to fix it and it actually does work.

My 6 year old slim version still works. And my controllers work. I never use it though, its a brilliant dust collector.

Damn double post. Plus I have to keep typing to avoid the low word count police!!!!!!!!!

 

[General BrEeZy]

yep! it amazes me how the disc tray error it had the day we got it eventually went away and has never returned and how the NEWER tech, namely the original xbox 360 we have flipped that scenario around...i guess i should blame the communists over in china for manufacturing crap technology? then again tech just f**king BREAKS around me!!!!!

but yeah, the ps2 is fine and dandy! i think i'll play some more FFX later this week!

During the usual Summer game drought where all the big companies wait for the xmas releases (things like MW3, Asscreed, GOW, etc) I fired up my PS2. First I finally completed kingdom Hearts, then FFX (before I heard about the remake) and the other day I bought FF12 for £5 as well. Can't really go wrong playing the classics, even just for the nostaliga

Just do yourself a favior and lower your expextations for FF 12. It will be less disapointing that way when you find out how much of a bad Return of the Jedi rip off it is.

I have the slim, which works perfectly except for the slot 1 memory card reader. Both of my memory cards function fine, but the slot 1 reader is broken, so any game that doesn't accept slot 2 I essentially can't save on. This led to an ultimately failed Prince of Persia-thon, trying to complete the whole game in a single sitting having never done so before.

my silver PS2 is currently above my PS3. i did have an original black one but it broke after a year for unknown reasons.

 

[Jfswift]

Yes, surprisingly considering i bought it used.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

The only console that's ever died on me was an Xbox 360.
Everything else, including my PS1, work perfectly.

I got one after they'd been out for a few months and after about a year the first controller port started wigging out so I took it in and it JUST happened to work at the store *whew*.

I fondly remember my ps2 days. Then, of course, I purchased a ps3 wayyy too late to get a ps2-backwards-compatible version.

I dig that they're making rehashes of ps2 games, since I didn't get to play it in it's hay-day.

My PS2 slim is still working even after I dropped it about a month ago; however, there seems to be a little rattling inside whenever I move it...

 

[Particulate]

Mine was still working like a charm when I sold it. Don't need one since my PS3 is backwards compatable

 

[StrixMaxima]

Yep, my 10 y/o fat PS2 still works like a charm.

 

[ddrfr33k]

Yes, although mine requires a few caveats. I've opened my consoles up on several occasions, primarily to fix/hack them. So I don't exactly get the full "yes" for my vote.

 

[The Grim Ace]

Not only does it still work but it's the non-portable system I still use the most. I do love my silver slim PS2.

 

[K_Dub]

Hell yes it does! In fact, I just picked up Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves for it the other day! The Playstation 2 is easily one of the best investments I ever made! That being said, I would REALLY like to upgrade to a PS3 before it's considered obsolete.

 

[Epona]

I have 2 PS2's and they both still work. A remake of FF 10 is retarded considering how people have begged for a remake to 7 and then they go and remake 10??

BTW, if you hook your PS2 up to an HDTV via component cable and look at the horrible graphics of FF 10 but still it doesn't need to be remade. It's a linear, one playthrough type of game and everyone has already played through it.

 

[Monshroud]

My PS2 still works. Finished playing through Fatal Frame 1 and 2. Going to start Fatal Frame 3 after I play through Dragon Age: Origins. (Yeah I know I am behind in my gaming.)

My PS2 is still going, she's a bit slow to get games running, no longer plays DVD's, is the noisiest ************ out there and I have to leave its outer casing off because it's warped so bad it jams the disc tray, but I still get to play some Star Wars Battlefront and Ratchet & Clank on it so I am pretty happy with it. It was also the 'new' one when it came out, the block one, not the slim. Removing the outer casing did void the warranty but after 8 years I think it outlived the warranty
