I figured out why oldschool gamers dislike Sony

Regarding Sony I was mainly referring to the PS1/PS2 eras.  I agree with you that the PS3 was a step up in reliability.  While there were some problems there were far less than their previous systems.  I believe the launch PS1s had a decent amount of overheating issues (remember people flipping their PS1 upside down just for it to play, well that was me also before mine finally died).   PS2 mainly had drive problems which isn't as big of deal as overheating.  Sony improved their quality while Microsoft is the main culprit of releasing a heavily flawed system just to get it on the market (360).  The catch 22 usually happened later for PS1/PS2 owners while the 360 owners got their little surprise a lot quicker.

I see, beside corrupted data on a memory card I never had any problem with the PS1, that being said, it didnt served as much as the PS2/PS3 did. My PS2 had disc drive error after about 3 years, that wasnt so great. My fat launch PS3 is a damn tank though, it serves multi-media purpose so it has literally runs dozen of thousands of hours. The fan still never go to its highest level. Its not enclose and its in vertical position though.
