The Shrine

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>When I got my PS2, I shelved my PS1 for a while. When I tried the PS1 again, it would not spin discs. Junk.

I treat the PS2 like a member of my family. And now it, randomly mind you, refuses to load DVD movies and games. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't (it won't most of the time). It's a real piss-off.

My PS1 worked fine for about six years while it seemed like everybody else's did not. Now where it seems Sony has put out a system that actually functions properly without skipping/loading/heating problems, I get fucked.

Eat my ass, Sony. Shinji Mikami was right.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Garamond; text-align: left; '>Well, duh? It's Sony...I only hope the price is down to $150.00 by the time I need a new PS2...it sucks major monkey balls, but what ya gonna do?</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Over the years, there's only been one company that builds steady machines (not including their first, of course). Even the Xbox has major problems and that seemed to be pretty well built</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Who? Nintendo? Sega? Atari? Commador? WHO!? I would say Nintendo and Sega. Sony - not so much. Well I have - lets see here, 1, 2, 3..., 3 PSX's. Not very robust.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I have my '95 PSX and the little white PS One. Both woyk poyfekly. Maybe it was you smacking your first 2 PSX's with your freakishly large hands while playing "Rayman" the cause of many smashed PSX controllers and consoles.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>I take good care of my systems and have never had any of them break (NES, SNES, PS1, PS2). Expect when my basement flooded and my NES died, so i bought the top loader but that was ages ago.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Nintendo. Sega's break down a little more often. Much better than Sony or Microshaft, but not as good as Nintendo</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>yeah all it takes is a little care. exept with the dreamcast. I trated 2 of them like it was my baby. and yet they still fucked up. Is it just me or did sega have some trouble figuring out the fact that the lazer needs to fucking work! AHHHHH!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Mainly because my first PSX broke down (It still works sometimes if I put it upside down and try loading it about 20-50 times), my second one was modded and broke down and it does not work at all, my third is modded and still works, my fourth is regular and works but some games it messes up on (keep it at my cottage now), it won't play Wild Arms 2 for some reason. My PS1 I more or less just got because I wanted it, it's handy to cary around when traveling and it seams to be much higher quality than the PSX model. My PS2 is second hand and still works like a charm except on some DVD's they keep going dark then light then dark then light, my other DVD players don't have that problem.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Garamond; text-align: left; '>Hmmm, and I've never had a problem with my Dreamcast...bought it on the second day it was out. Weird...gotta be an assembly line thing.</div>

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I've never had a system stop working, not even my PSX(bought 1997). That includes, NES, SNES, Genesis, Gameboy, GBA, PSX, PSX2, DC, and GC</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Master Systems weren't bad, but you wouldn't believe the number of Genesis' that broke down. Insane, maybe even worse than the PSXs statistically speaking. Saturns were OK and DCs are pretty damned good</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>From what I know, DCs were fairly rock solid and problems were more individual basis than processes.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>really? Damn, I consider myself lucky then, I haven't had a single problem with my Genesis in the 11 or 12 years I've had it.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Very lucky. It's like having a NES Control Deck that works fine. Not overly common</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Only problem I ever had with mine was that it would not play Skies of Arcadia.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Mine wouldn't play out of the box. Returned same day. Got another one last year.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Well...nevermind the NES then.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Hence the brackets in my initial post</div>
