My playstation2+ is still running the version with the bit quieter fan which annoyed the hell out of the brother in law since hed bought the noisier one a week earlier. Sent back once on a disc read error that was my fault really since i bounced it off the floor while it was running a movie (Willow .. the disc is still fubard!) sony fixed without a complaint even though id popped it open to see if i could fix. PS3, old model with emotive chip still running strong too.

Yep. Works just fine. Played through B.L.A.C.K a couple days ago (still holds up), and then played some Battlefront II. I didn't have a huge collection of PS2 games, but every one of them works, and still plays well.
[obligatory S.L.A.I plug, that game was awesome!]

My clunky old PS2 still works fine with the exception that it won't play Rachet and Clank; Deadlocked but I think the disk is chipped.
My modded and rebuilt ps2 went to the Sony graveyard in the sky shortly before I bought my ps3 two years ago. I replaced the laser and door motor/gears in that thing just to keep it moving about five years ago. That thing was my baby and I took care of it like one. Then it finally fried the mainboard and I was done. I still think about it fondly every so often. Hell I still have it all in pieces still because I can't bear to part with it. PS2, rock solid gaming/entertainment platform. PS3, giant paperweight that makes me update every time I turn it on. Xbox/360...well it's better than the PS3 but nowhere near the PS2 in my heart.
My original isnt working but my slim is though my memory cards are corrupted so there goes final fantasy 12
My "regular" (that is, never overheats because of the fan) PS2 is still going strong. So strong that it hasn't slowed down or weakened in the slightest. The only time it ever went kaput was when I insisted on leaving Dino Crisis 2 on for about 6 days straight, and then came home from school one day wondering why it didn't work (me at 15: durrrr). All I had to do was take it to a local shop and it has worked perfectly ever since, including leaving it on overnight once or twice still.
I think the last game I played was Fatal Frame, and I have since picked up Fatal Frame II, III and Cold Fear to try. It also doubles as my DVD player. It's a little wonder machine, and I'll never leave it behind.

Yep, it'll be hitting 8 years soon.
It has trouble with PS1 games and DVDs have a few issues on it, but otherwise it's good.

My ps3 died on me only hours ago, luckily, I still have my trusty ps2 and its extensive library of games.
No...
Mostly because I fucked with mine and attached a different disc tray thing so I could play import games. The tray worked for awhile and then started behaving and not closing properly. Meaning I can't play one of my favorite PS2 games anymore...

Sure is. I've only had it repaired once since I got it in 2001, and that one time was 8 years ago.
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.
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.
