Sony: We want PS3 to be like the ipod

[deftonesmx17]

Utter crap, stop perpetuating myths.. my PS2 i bought on day one is still going strong. If there were that many PS2's breaking down then people wouldn't buy them.

Good for you that your day one PS2 still works, but its not the case for most. I personally know only one person who is still on their first PS2, one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playstation_2 Read under Technical Issues.........hmmmm not such a myth is it.

As for your comment of "If there were that many PS2's breaking down then people wouldn't buy them." Everyone already knows windows is a resource hog that slows their computer down so why does everyone keep using it. Becasue they don't really have a choice because if they want to use certain apps/games they need to use windows. So likewise, I went through 3 PS2's(aka kept buying them) because if I wanted to play certain games I liked............I didnt have a choice.

are you saying you actually paid for 3 ps2s are you crazy, there is a warranty!!

though there were no problems with my ps2...
i had three ps1s, the first got stolen, along with my memory cards!(i now lock my memory cards in a safe when i go on holiday! too important), and the second i pulled off the shelf when my foot got tangled in the wires realising i was late for school from playing tekken 2, the whole thing shattered. thank you home insurance cover. i am also on my fourth psp after getting replacements sent by sony due to dead pixels and one huge scratch!!

Why yes there is but its only for 90 days, which all of my three PS2's made it past. Like I said, it was because I loved the exclusives.........when one did die......I needed another one fast.

where do you live
im almost sure my warranty was for 1 year

your meant to fight for these things anyway!

[Zion]

you probably meant the warranty from the shop, not from sony

[Accordion]

who did
where is this awlful land with only 90 day warranties

GAME and most shops only have a 10 day return policy in the UK.

who did
where is this awlful land with only 90 day warranties

USA

The little warranty sticker on my PS2's said "90 day limited warranty" and all the crap about warranty void if seal is broken blah blah blah.......

[Accordion]

hmmm
thats a shame shame
i bet the uk has a stricter policy on comsumer rights
USA is a major of capitalism, probably why they tread on the little people more

I've only had a problem with the old old PS1...the disk wouldn't read after sometime...later a friend told me this was a common deffect and tought me that it would still work if I put the console upside down or on it's side.
But I've never had problems with my PS2.
