My ps2 has lasted me since it came out, and I have 2 ps2's. A slim one and the original one. I'm liking the slim one better though because of the adapter.

My first PS2 is still kind of kicking, but it's very picky in terms of what games it accepts. It will not read any CD games, but still can read new DVD's for a while at least, if it doesn't scratch them first. I rarely use it anymore though as I bought another one off my sister's boyfriend years ago since I really wanted to be able to play Contra: Shattered Soldier.

I never got a PS2 but thats because the hardware problems scare the crap out of me. At least Microsoft is pretty generous when it comes to replacing/repairing systems (if you don't mind talking/arguing with a customer rep on the phone).That said, my friend is unbelievably lucky. He has a first generation PS2 (got it 2 days after it launched) and its never had a problem.

Mine is still alive, it's just every week or so it stops reading discs unless I put it up vertical. Then in another week it will only read them if I put it horizontal. It's been going back and forth for a couple months.

I'm still on my first. I've had problems with the connective circuits where the power cord plugs into, so I've had to solder it several times to get it working again without having to move the cord around all over the place to get the power to stay on.

I got my first PS2 for Christmas when GTA: San Andreascame out. It was around when the first slim PS2's cameout and I've had it ever since. I haven't had a single problemwith it, except that it won't read .//Hack at all, but I thinkthat's because my cousin's disc is scratched the point ofno return.

My first PS2 (Big) lasted around 4 years then it came down with the disc read error syndrome and it couldn't be cured. My bro got a slim later on. So in total I have gotten 2 PS2s. I still have the big one.

I've always had the same one. It kind of went belly-up so I had to fix it up myself a wee while ago, so it's back in top shape now.
