Have you encountered any problems yet?
-
Only boredom due to lack of new games coming out for Christmas. This blows. Why does everything cool have to come out in the Spring!!!
Oh yeah, and then there is that problem I had with my sink in the bathroom. It\'s like the Chinese torcher test when you are taking a elongated dump. Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip..... Every time I go in there I come out and beat my dog... I\'m not sure if it\'s related, but I got it since I got my PS2. Coincidence? I think not...

Lack of new games?
This problem hasn\'t encountered me ( because I didn\'t buy every game at launch :) )...
I\'m getting Timesplitters, SSX and Rayman 2: Revolution for X-mas and I couldn\'t be happier :D
BTW Welcome to the forums, EaglePower :)

No problems at all.
As far as games go. I am still rockin\' with the PSone Rpg\'s:)
Lunar 2
Breath of Fire 4

No problems with mine.

Problems? Lets see...Besides SSX and Timesplitters my ps2 games are collecting dust. Oh yeah....it seems I\'ve been watching more DVDs than playing games. Oh and another thing....it seems that lately when I visit game stores it seems that my eyes tend to focus more on the Dreamcast shelf. Oh did I mention that I\'ve been playing more Dreamcast titles lately?(NBA2K1, Test drive Le Mans, Looney Toons Racing, Skies of Arcadia). Problems you ask? Oh yeah there\'s a problem!! But I\'m not the one with it(may be a little FU&%^N\' disappointed but no problem). It\'s the black box sitting next to the gray one that has it(or should I say the company that created it?). I don\'t know how the rest of you feel but right now I\'m happy that I\'ve got a Dreamcast.

I\'m not going to trash the PS2. Its new and just like the DC , there isn\'t alot of great games out right after the launch and for alittle while after the launch. But, yeah, its collecting dust. In MARCH it will be alot better. But until then, thank goodness I have a DC because I cannot stop playing Shenmue / Skies of Arcadia / Cannon Spike / Capcom Vs SNK and other games.
Oh well......Like they say, "all good things to those who wait."
-
I sure hope you\'re right clip because if Sony tries to pull this" Oh check out our holiday line up which might be delayed till\' next spring" crap next Christmas forget it!! As a matter of fact I\'m beginning to worry that because of the machine\'s steep learning curve it will always have delays!!! Ahh the video game industry....ya gotta love it!! :cool:
-
I\'ve been playing with my PS2 quite a bit. After all, it can play PSX games and since the new ones out, like FF9, are like supplimentary to the PS2 launch games, I\'ve been playing that PS2 quite a bit.
Playstation is dominating even the PS2 and Dreamcast(it needs better racers and V-Rally and Sega GT just aren\'t up to par with GT2). Simply amazing.
-
My only problems are too many games too play.
If you feel that you have to wait until March,approach your local IMPORT shops.....The BOUNCER,BLOOD O VAMPIRE,DARKCLOUD & SIDEWINDERMAX are already available as import games.
-
I have not had issues myself, nor I have I heard of anyone of mechanical issues.
Like Videoholic said though, lack of games... I agree on that.
But I did have one issue where the disc got scrathced when I kick my PSX2... hmm Im not sure if that cause the scratch or not...JK :D
-
I have only played my psx2 once or twice. the ony person that playes my psx2 everyday is my brother with his football games. i have no games because i diden\'t want any of the launch one\'s.
-
I have had my ps2 only for a week now and tekken tag and ssx have froze up on me already. But i just hit reset and dont really worry about it.
-
Problems?, what type of problems?
-
Yeah. I had one problem (which many heard me rant about on various threads) but I suspect it was a localized issue with my system...not a general production issue with the PS2.
I encountered digital DVD freeze to the point that the system would lose its ability to read the DVD (or any DVD formatted game, movie, etc.). CD based stuff was okay. There was no getting past it. I had a lemon system.
What caused it? Not sure. I *did* however purchase a 3rd party "pass-thru" DVD infared remote from Saitek which I believe might have had something to do with it. Might have fried/reconfig\'d something. Anyway, all I know is that even the self-diagnostics feature couldn\'t help.
Thankfully, my wonderful and business-savvy local TRU store manager knew he wanted to keep my business (I\'ve done *a lot* of business with him). He held out a PS2 from a next shipment and called me to exchange them out. Very cool!
Since then no probs whatsoever!

PS. I returned the Saitek infared remote the same day I did the PS2 exchange with TRU. Great personal lesson learned: I will not entertain 3rd party periphs in the future. Was the Saitek the culprit? Can\'t confirm. Was my PS2 ****ed up prior to the Saitek\'s insertion? Nope. Was my PS2 ****ed up *after* the insertion. Sure was...
-
I didn\'t have any trouble at initial launch. I only had trouble when it re-entered the atmosphere. Something about it being of half a degree.
-
I Have had one problem with timesplitters bogging down (getting choppy...it started on the warehouse level and then the normal level of egypt). Dunno why.........my disk looks fine

w1ngman...Thanks for the post. I was going to buy one of those Saitek Remotes. Now, thanks to you, I myself will not entertain that third party bull****. Sony periphs are great quality anyway :D

No problems, no freezing, no jaggies, no slowdowns, NO PROBLEMS!!!
-
I don\'t have a PS2, but hopefully if get enough money and get one it won\'t have any bugs.
-
I had a problem with the DVD capabilities and the Sony-issued AV wires. When I tried to watch a DVD through these cables, my screen would darken and sometimes cut out all together. After I purchased the cable hookup accessory, the problem was solved.
As for third party stuff, I have a Mad Catz memory card and it is going pretty good.
I have a Radio Shack (More like eighth party, rather than third!) cable hookup accessory, and have had no probs!
