But then again, had my PS2 DVD drive not died on me, and had I not been ignored by Sony when I called them about the issue, I probablly never would have bought an original XBOX to begin with.
Actually, that's kind of funny really... because had my XBOX 360 not RROD'd on me, I never would have used my PS3 as a gaming machine and bought the 3 games I've bought for it in the last 3 weeks. The moral of the story? Broken hardware sucks. LOL

Agreed, that sucks. IMO a console should be relatively worry free (hardware failures, disc scratching and basic upgrades or subscription to enable pretty basic functionality) and it's the most important reason why I don't like the 360 as a game console (in addition to noise generation).
Your PS2 drive may not have been dead actually. Due to drive vibration it's often the case a screw gets loose (like the famous c64 data recorder screw problems from the past). If that's the case you can easily fix it yourself if out of warranty, there are many shops which will take care of this for you relatively cheaply.
