I remember anticipating the original launch of the saturn and the Playstation. I reserved both. I unfortunately was one of the first 50,000. As you may remember the first 50,000 would burn out. I played mine for about 4 hours and it overheated and was useless. No problem right? Next came the Playstation 2(keep in mind I own all sytems)I was excited playing it. I loved the Gamecube as well. After 6 months of the Playstation 2 , the motor went out.....sound familiar to anyone? Hey i got an idea, since you have a library of games , why not buy another Playstation 2???Nope not me. My brother's Playstation 2 had a motor that went out as well after a year and a half. His sony TV and my Sony Stero conked out as well. I read threads about people on here that are biased. I am not, I just have cold feet about purchasing anything Sony. My PS3 is collecting dust. regardless what people think, I enjoy my Wii. Think about this, how many of you have had your Sega's and Nintendos conk out??? I think those two were the best rivals, after all they always out did each other for games. Microsoft got into the market for money, not games. Sony, well lets take a look shall we??? Nintendo/Sony created the Playstation. Period?? didnt know that? The Playstation was to be an add-on to the SNES follow the link http://www.n-sider.com/articleview.php?articleid=279 So, anyone that has read this and is a Sony fan, is a closet nintendo fan, just scared to come out! ONCE AGAIN NOT BIASED!!!!!!! PS Resistance is good but there are too many first person shooters being developed. |
Most PS1s that had problems just had to be on the side or flipped and they worked fine. That's a lot less annoying than the NES and SNES blowing and praying issue (as well as other methods described). I can't say I ever had problems with Sega except lack of 3rd party support and inferior first party games compared to Nintendo (I loved Sonic, though). PS2 I used to get disc read errors but if you read the manual or looked online you found out there was an auto-diagnostic feature that was just an option you could go to when you looked at the PS2 menu after it loaded. That fixed mine until it got hit by lightning.
As for PS3, I have not had a problem at all so far, and there is only one small patch that have a serious problem...a whining noise. They still work, just annoying, and again, that's a small batch.
Everyone knows that Nintendo was working with Sony on a Play Station but Nintendo backed out and ended up giving away the console crown to Sony. Sucks for them. 10 years to make a comebacke, we'll see if they complete it. I have heard of no problems with Wii's so far, btw. The 360 was a joke, worse than PS1 and PS2 as far as hardware problems.
