Liquid Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I sent in my PS2 for repairs, and it was liek my 5th or 6th time doing this. (Model 30001, the first day release ones) I only sent in my console, no cables, or controllers. They yesterday they sent me back a brand new console, boxed, with controller and cables. not opened, not refurbished! Its the new model (50001) with the yellow + in the corner, it has a built in IR port for my dvd remote and is silent and has dvd-+r/rw support and progrssive scan. Its great. Just thot id share how sony treats there customers :D Sony USA that is, the canadian sony didn't even fix my console properly, jerks :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomAI Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I wasn't aware that the new models had built in IR and DVDRW support...makes me sad that I still have the first generation PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thollian Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 do the new models play VCD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Another hint is to look for "Made in Japan" for typically higher quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trajik 2600 Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Yeah my friend told me hers quit reading discs, but boosting the drive speed seemed to fix the problem. I sold my first one for $250 the day before they went down to $200, and then bought another :whistle: .. but I never had any problems at all. I am really careful too though.

Sedriss Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Show love for the system and the system will love you. Ive heard peeps of having problems with their ps2's before. Saying the eye stopped working or its not reading games or dvds. Im like, was there any point in time you dropped the system? "welllllll" uhh yea.

threetonesun Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 I had a PS 2, it started getting weird when reading CDs, so I sold it. Come on, CDs ... how hard can it be! They've been around for a lot longer than DVDs. Anyway, I've heard of a lot of problems with PS 2 drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 All of my friends ps2's were dying, then mine starting having disc read issues, so I sold it to EB for a game cube. I also have an xbox, that plays any title I would get for ps2 except one, GT4 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
