Seeing the post about the Final Fantasy 10 re-make (or HD facelift don't know yet) it got me thinking. First the FF fanboy in me went "An FF 10 Re-make FUCK YES!". Then when I returned to normal I wondered why. The graphics in the original are still good and I still have a working PS2. Then I remembered the controllers are bust.

So has anyone else still got a PS2 going strong. Mine is 10 years old now and going strong. The controllers are broken but the PS2 itself is fine. It is one of the old bigger ones not the slim line model. And for the record I have already had one X-box, two X-box 360's go bye bye. The PS3 is still going strong.

My PS2 closer to 7 years old, but on the other hand it still works :p
In fact, I recently played Marvel: Nemesis with a friend on it :D

my ps3 system is still in top shape although the controllers are very very dirty and sticky.
I've hided my PS2 system between a row books on the bookshelf and its eazy to miss, its just a little joke.

Yup, my slim one is still working. It's 5 or 6 years old and never had a hitch. It's a little dusty, but I played Battlefront 2 on it a week ago. My PS3 has been working for over 3 years without a problem as well.

I have an original PS2 that still works including the controller(though where half my games are i don't know) and an original PS3 with backwards compatibility that still works. Though it did give me a yellow light of death a few years back but Sony fixed it and sent it back so I'm happy.

Yup, my PS2 slim is still working like a charm, and I still play MGS3 on it from time to time, and Jak 2&3 for nostalgia

Still works, still plays all the best games I own. No different to how I had it as a kid!

I don't see why it wouldn't. I was busy playing the Sonic Collection.^^ How I miss being 6 years old sitting there playing Sonic the Hedgehog all day.

yes sirrie bob,

a proper type old thick one, not any of these slim immitations ones. the kind of one that takes room on the shelf and you have to display as a result.

I got both a Original and Slim. Play them both regularly too cause I haven't got a PS3 or Xbox.

Yes, original. I've had to realign the laser once for it to read PS1 discs but other than that, no problems.

I'm impressed that one of the original ones is still going. I had to buy a Slim after my original died. That was about the time when Prince of Persia: Sands of Time was still pretty new, so that's about 8 years ago and it's still going strong. Every now and then I'll pick up a new (to me) game that I missed out on back in the day. Just recently got Beyond Good and Evil, can't wait to go through that.

Have the slim PS2, and it's still kicking. I still get a lot of use out of that wonderful little machine.

My original still works fine, the controllers too... Except I need to pry open the disc drive with a little screwdriver sometimes...
But after at least ten years of HORRENDOUS abuse (including several large dogs "marking" it with various bodily fluids) the little guy's still going strong. He's a trooper.
