My condolences go out to you and I hope you get your system back soon so you can enjoy your games. I partially feel your pain in the sense that my PS2 got stolen back in the day when I had JUST gotten home with a new copy of FFX (yes, I almost turned into a serial killer lol). I can understand putting up with it the first time with a launch system (lets face it, I heard PS2 launch systems suffered a bit), but a second time is just too much imo. I seriously hope the jasper models are a dramatic improvement so the 360 owners out there can enjoy gems like gears of war (only game which I continue to borrow a 360 for and play with friends), fable2,etc. but from what I read, so far so good. Anyways I hope you enjoy what's left of the holidays, get yourself a bottle of Johnny Walker black, red or blue label and enjoy whichever other systems you have in the meantime. Best of wishes.
