My PS1 didnt want to play games anymore I had to turn it upside down for it to keep working. (dunno what that was lol)

A few people mentioned this....I dunno what it is. When mine broke, and I put it upsidedown, all the ball bearing fell out.

My PS2 phat couldnt read disks anymore.

The repair guy told me that all first gen PS2's had poorly alligned disk lasers, and most would break within 2-3 years.



I would like to know how many PS2s sold to date are phats.

I mean its somewhat unfair to say  PS2 is sales king when lets say 50 million died because of a bad laser and then 40* million  former phat owners were "forced" to buy a slim because they had so many games they didnt want to throw into the trash can.

Thank god I got my PS2slim for free with a double phone contract   :)

*(yep 40 not 50 million on purpose because 20% might have said FU Sony without buying a new console)

Another guy dropped his gameboy colour in the backyard, and lost it for a week. They had the sprinkler on every day, and only found it when the lawn mower chewed it up. Just like your DS, it became extremely uncomfortable to hold, but the screen was all diced up, and there were sharp edges everywhere, and water stuck internally. Still worked.


 I lost a gameboy game and half a year later found it in the garden (we had a ton of snow that year) and after I dried it for a day I tested it and it worked perfectly fine.  Cartridge FTW!!!
