LOL, OMG, that brings back nightmares.  I was one of the first in line to get the PS2 when it was released, and my DVD-Rom drive crapped out on me in the first year.  Sony tech support stinks, and did nothing to help me.  So instead of fixing it myself (or paying them to) I went and bought the original XBOX.  I never would have spent as much money with Microsoft on both XBOXes (and games) as I did if they would have helped me when my PS2 went to heck.  I've spent at least 5 grand on both consoles and games for them.  That money could have been spent with Sony had they taken the time to own up to their mistakes.

Don't get me wrong, I did buy the PS3 still (late adopter though), but I dread the thought if something goes wrong with it, because I doubt that they will help me.  Actually when the update right before 2.5 came out on the PS3 a few months back, my PS3 locked up and wouldn't install the update after trying for an hour...

I called tech support at Sony, and waited on hold, and got passed around for another hour before I finally gave up and just figured it out myself.

When my XBOX RROD'd, I literally told the MS rep that I knew it was the RROD problem, and that I just wanted to send in my console for repair... she said, "no problem".  Emailed me a link for the label about 30-min later, and a week after that got my new console.  That's great customer service if you ask me.

 

Which makes me remember, my second ps2 is still broken... I already had a 360 when the drive crapped itself so I didn't bother to get it repaired - but I'm still missing Zeus on god of war 2 and vayne in ff12.
