It's great that you feel your money is well spent because it would be sad if you had spent the money and regretted it. I just think backing Sony up at this time after all that transpired last generation is quite blind of a gamer, even a gamer that didn't personally experience some of the stuff.


As far as myself I'm a gamer I play a lot of games and I really put use into my consoles, but I also put care in them. Yes I'm no stranger to losing consoles I've had a Dreamcast disc motor break down on me (of course that was after thousands of hours of play, hell I had 1300+hours into Phantasy Star Online by itself by that time. I'm not a retard that lays them on the floor they each have well ventilated places on my entertainment center. I don't pack them around from place to place like they are designed to be a portable. They get dustings regularly and I tend to keep my room a comfortable 70 degrees all the time. Yet 3...3 PS2s all die on me, all break down to the same problem (DRE disease). Now say you go out to purchase a car, lets say a dodge. Now a year later it breaks down on you so you use your warranty and take it back well they just decide to get you another dodge vehicle and you get it and it breaks down in 1 week to the exact same problem, shocked and dismayed you take it back and get it replaced for yet another dodge vehicle. This one seems ok and lasts you 4 months then it to suddenly breaks down on you. Now once again you go back to the store and once again you get it exchanged again for one... now granted you still have one but in the future when you actually go to buy another car are you ever in your wildest thoughts going to even consider a dodge vehicle again?
i dunno what to tell you dude, i'm not gonna say you're full of shit cuz you had ps2's crap out on you 3 times..... but none of that has ever happened around me, honestly. i've had one PS1 fuck up, and it was cuz a friend grabbed a brand new game by the edges of the disk and completely ripped out the disc drive... and i've accidently dropped a ps2 and thought it was broke, but i opened it up and reset the disc tray, worked fine. that wasn't mine tho. then i had my own ps2... never broke down, i ended up selling it (for weed lol) cuz i never had any new games for it anyways, so wth... then a few years back i got my slim model ps2... still works perfectly to this day... the only reason i don't use it anymore is cuz i have my ps3 now and don't need it.

maybe you just have bad luck with sony? i unno... all i know is the only time i've ever had one 'break' it was because of user error and not a faulty system... (btw i tend to run the hell outta systems... often when tehy're brand new i play for 24 hours straight... like the first time i had a 64 and golden eye me and my brother literally played 24 hours straight... they get a very thorough test drive from me..)
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . So many Sony fans here...I just have to ask. Why? (Long Read) :wtf: I notice such a large % of gamers on here support the PS3(Sony) over the other consoles. I'm surprisingly shocked. I mean last generation with the PS2, the only thing that held it above the rest of the competition was the fact it had a years head start on everything but the Dreamcast, it had it's namesake to ride on. Third parties were already established on Sonys hardware because the user base was there. And gamers stayed because the third parties were there (vicious circle). The Rating: 5
