[quote name='GSJaia']Yeah, Sony has had a horrible history with the quality of their consoles. I can't deny that but...
I have a launch PS and a launch PS2 that have never given me a problem and the PS2 at my vacation house has never given me a problem either. Keep it clean and keep it in an area where the fan can do its work and you will be fine.
Now, if you do get a dreaded DRE... Sony has gone above and beyond to correct the problems (well beyond the warranty period).
Your comment reeks of being a fanboy. I love the DS as much as the next guy, but anyone who sees the need to base a system that hasn't come out yet is a fanboy.
Each system has its merits and you will be missing a ton of great games if you overlook one simply due to a disliek for the manufacturer and a blinded love for another console.[/quote]
agreed, cept for the ds part

*dont have one, cant make an opinion on it* but yea, ive had my ps1 since launch and its been working great, the systems are quite durable as well, lots of transporting, even few drops, still work..i keep hearing rumors about psp, so that'll steer me away from launch

[..but just cus u had*topic poster* a faulty system, dusnt mean ALL OF THEM are horrible, call up sony and they will replace it *maybe its a bit too late now however
