I'm not making excuses for MS and the RRoD... I was talking about the DVD drives. Those don't seem to be failing at a rate higher than any of the other consoles (and not nearly as bad as the PS2). |
All you had to do with your PS2 DVD drive was clean it and it worked like it was brand new (I know, I have done it to two different PS2's that are at 6 and 7 years respectively). This is actually a problem on many CD/DVD drives besides the one on the PS2. It wasn't a blender that destroyed your discs and refused to eject them.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
