Why is the PS2 so poorly constructed. It\'s of cheap quality, and don\'t get me started on the DVD player, It stinks!:( Don\'t get me wrong, I love my PS2, it\'s got a great library of games, but it\'s got alot of mediocre, and crap as well.

I agree, but I think all these systems are made cheaply. I\'ve always wanted a system that was made more like my A/V equipment. I guess that\'s just not going to happen. I would be more than willing to pay a little extra.

AS far as Best Buy pushing the Xbox. BBY pays less for each Xbox console than they do for a PS2. Not much of a difference; but its still cheaper nonetheless. Therefore if you buy more accessories with an Xbox BBY makes more money as opposed to a PS2.

Thats why if you try to buy a printer 9 times out of 10 they will tell you to get a Lexmark.

I have worked at BBY off and on for 2 years so I am not speculating here either.

My PS1 still works fine, and I got it on the systems launch. My PS2 works perfect, but I hear all the horror stories on this forum about problems. One dude even said he put his system in his freezer hoping his games would play!

Paul you simply wrong

I had a Sega Dreamcast, bought store extended warranty (thank god). The thing stopped reading games about 3 months into it. I never did anything stupid to it, it just sat there. So Sega reliability is questionable.

Xbox has as many problems if not more than PS2. I know one person who went through 2 PS2 in like a year but then he dont tream them too well. I have a used PS2 bought 2 months ago, it\'s fine. I know ppl whose Xbox gave no problems and I know some with horror stories like the thing breaking completely right after 3 months. My friend\'s starting being wacky with game/DVD discs within a week and is labeled Crap Box by him.

GameCube has a 1 year warranty. Nuff said.

BTW Xbox chip is a piece of crap. Do some research on it and see how much of a BS marketing scheme that is.

Well, if you know so much, why not enlighten us on the subject?

(Tom feels ill for defending the X-Box) :crap:

EDIT: I read your other post in "Flaws of the PS2" , so there\'s no need to explain it again. :snore:

Good thing you read. BTW the same marketing scheme is used all the time as most ppl just look at the "big" numbers without considering what they mean.

Cant the PS2 do something like 2 x more floating point calculations then the x box?

I don\'t feel like reading through the pages but maybe someone else has said this.

THEY ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF THE SURPLUS X-BOXES.
