<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm on track to beat Metroid Prime in about 20 hours, and this game just keeps getting better. The X-ray visor is just...wow. I've got to stop playing or I'll have it beaten by weekend's end...</div>

<div style='font: bold 10pt ; text-align: left; '>I beat it in 14 game hours. Gotta be close to 20 including deaths and the 2 freeze ups Ive had</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, mine locked up on me once too. Wonder why? It was as I passed through a door. Guess it gets caught up if you're doing a lot while it's loading up the next level, since it's streaming almost all of the time</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Mine froze during one of the elevator cutscenes, but luckily, it was right after I saved. Haven't had any other problems so far.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Supposedly a fair number of people have had issues with transitions, though it seems to be limited to the very first elevator you take. Unless it's happening consistantly I wouldn't worry about it. I've been lucky.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not a huge concern, but I've also had Halo and Munch's Odyssey lock up too. Just should not happen with a console, that's all</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Maybe it's just a Nintendo/MS thing. My PS2 has never locked up in a game.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>PSX2 has it's share of problems, people report their DVDs going in and coming out scratched. BTW you're beginning to sound like a PSX2 posterboy.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Playstation is probably by far the worst for errors out of everything.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Well, maybe the old PSXs, but the same thing could be said for the NES. It was the first CD-based console system, so give it some credit.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>I'm not a PS2 nut. I'm just saying that I've never had problems with console games locking up. As far as my PSX goes, I had some skipping problems, but nothing actually locked up.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Sega CD was, Sega Saturn was second, PSX was third. And yeah, NES was probably just as buggy, that was the main reason I switched over to Mastersystem and Genesis =P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You got lucky, I think most people here have owned at least 2 PSX's because of their first one having too many problems</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I didn't, but I didn't get a PSX until the summer that Wild Arms and FF7 came out, so I missed the early, glitchy batches of consoles.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Ditto. First game I bought was Suikoden.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Ah, that might also explain it, mine was probably from the first batch released at launch.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>But the first wave of PSXs could play Japanese Imports without a mod chip!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I bought mine at the same time. The only game I ran into problems with was FF9 - it skipped some of the FMVs near the end.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>They said if you have alot of Lunar: Eternal Blue load errors, you needed to get a PSOne, or a PSX2, that was nuts!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Like Kupek said, it's probably software. I've had GTA3 lock up on me a couple of times.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I had a problem playing FF7 one my PS2 just yesterday. All sprites were completely fucked up. I figured it was because I set the driver to CD speed fast, and texture smooth, but I don't know for certain.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Then you haven't played it enough. GTA3 more than once for me</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Both PSX and PS2 weren't the best hardware physically</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Mine couldn't play anything =(</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>That would probably be it. I've had some PS1 games skip, load really slowly, or not read at all with those turned on.</div>
