I could have gone down to Ladbrokes and put a bet on this thread ending up in a Microsoft/Sony debate.

I bought my PS2 in 2001, by 2003 it started getting disk read errors, but last year it completely packed up. I was told to increase the DVD laser voltage, so I went on a tech forum and asked them what to do. Take the laser apart and turn the little screw gently. So I did, in fact I whacked the screw 90° and when I told them they almost passed out! I concluded from their reaction that I'd overdone it. Turned it back a bit but the screw dropped off and disappeared down the console. Bought a new Slimline though! Shame as I had some great moments with that console. Gran Turismo 3 100% completion! :thumbsup:

I wouldn't say the Xbox itself has better graphics. At the end of the day its up to the game developers, but every Xbox game I've tried out doesn't have good graphics. Oh well graphics alone never made a good game. Surprisingly San Andreas looks much better on the PS2 than the Xbox.
