Whee. both my computer AND my PS2 die in the same year. In fact, within two months of each other? Perfect, eh? Well, now I have no way to play PSU. So Ciao. HOWEVER I HAVE A WII AND POKEMON PEARL NOW IF YOU WANT MY FRIEND CODES. Just post yours, and I'll post mine when I get home. (will only add people I know ingame)

Sony planed it.

My PS2 has been sounding weird when I play Socom CA.

In theory Sony wants you to buy a PS3 so they fried your PS2s through online play.

It was an ingenius plan Sony. Touche'.

My old PS2's drive was going out, sounded like a toy cars engine whining.

If the warranty is up take it apart and clean it.

Or if you wanna be a pansy get a can of condensed air and spray the back of the PS2 (in the holes, duh...) and to the left of the lens.

Might help, If not buy a new one or send it in for repair.

First... a question. I wonder how you're typing these messages, if you don't have any access to a PC. Are you magic?

Second... a comment. You can get another PS2 right now, for only $149.99 if you live in North America, and certain stores (like Fry's Electronics) usually throw in 5 free PS2 games of your choice. Also, PS3 isn't that bad. And, by next spring (these are rumors, BTW) the PS2 is supposed to drop in price to $99.99, and the 80gb PS3 is supposed to drop to $499.99, because a 40gb PS3 has been confirmed, at a price point of $399.99 to come out some time in Spring of next year.

You're forgetting, Dreamcast, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, and PS3 (except she doesn't have/want one of those)

welcome to the club!!!

i've gone through 8 (YES EIGHT) ps2 slims this past month or so.

if i were to post all the trouble i've dealt with playing this game, you'd wonder why i'm still putting up with it
(answer: because i wub it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif)

go to gamestop, get a used ps2 slim. you have 30 days to return it if something goes wrong on you (and with what i've dealt with, chances are, it will). so if it does, go back, exhange, rinse repeat until satisfied.

enjoy!

For the amount of money you've spent on PS2's, you could have got a PS3... and played PSU wirelessly...

My copy of PSU had not left my PS2 since the week after launch; yes, mine was delayed. At some point it stopped reading and I opened the cover and guess what? A thin layer of dust had collected on the inside and was stuck to everything. A good wipe and can of air did the trick. Wish I could say that would work for yours http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

My PS2 must have been made by Nintendo or something. My launch PS2 still works perfectly! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I am truly sorry for loss. My condolence.

Just out of curiosity, how old was your PC and how old was your PS2.

Mine just won't die! :shakes fist:

I have a very early model PS2 (big daddy) and never cleaned it, left the sucker on for days at a time, had it fall off the shelf a couple of times, and have had ppl kick / knock it around since being moved to the floor.

It's been used and abused, but just keeps going. (like a bi-polar ADS student with a dominatrix fetish) On the other hand, the slim model, which I babied, lasted me around 7 months.

psst.... <_< >_> I can get you a PS2 cheap..... real cheap..... yeah....

You can get the PS2 professionally cleaned/fixed fairly cheaply. Just call Sony repairs/warranty, explain the problem and they should be able to give you directions.
