taking care of ps2

hey many of you guys really take care of your playstation 2 platform and games ..well i take real good care of my ps2
like when we have strom i turn off this for safe keeping and
don\'t let anyone have drink near it not even close and i keep
my games in their case where they belong.p.s i was bore when posting it but just want to know how well people keep their
ps2 amd games .by the way my ps2 in my room where it belong

:nut:   I\'m a paranoid concerning my PS2 !
I do pretty much anything to keep my PS2 stuff
safe. When ppl get near it I tell em to watch out.
Ooo d@mn, this thread gives me the creeps :eek:

OMG Sabrina, you are so funny. Where are you from? I take it English isn\'t your first language?

Using common sense is all you need to keep it safe.

I keep mine pretty well looked after. I always clean it on a regular basis. When I\'m not planning on using it for any length of time, I always unplug it and cover it with a cloth to stop dust settling on it. I don\'t keep drink or food near it, and there is nothing near to obstruct the fan at the back.

As for the games, they are ALWAYS kept in the box, in a neat pile next to my PS2. I NEVER touch the surface of the discs, I handle them by putting my index finger through the hole on the centre, while holding the side with my thumb. I have old PS1 games that I have had for years that have barely a mark on them, I could trade them in for a decent ammount they are in such good condition.

I always keep the games in their boxes, also I make sure the vents on my ps2 are not too dusty.

I leave it plugged in but always take care of it, never smoke round it...and now have it horizontally as when I had it vertically it started playing up so I had to exchange it at dixons for a new one...I always clean the fan and air vents...
I take care of the games and never EVER leave a disk in the ps2 like some people do.
We all do it cause we payed a lot for our PS2s and
1)it\'s a delicate little machine
2)You want it in pristine condition so you know there won\'t be any faults
3)eventually when you sell it, should you decide to, then the value is up on ps2 with all the box and in a good condition

But I\'m really careful and I have dropped my pads a few times but is it just me or does anyone else think the official Sony PS2 pads are strong?

Anyway, glad to hear you take care of ya consoles...thats waht being a good owner of one is all about guys and girls

Yeah, I think they are quite durable, I drop mine from time to time, and they haven\'t caused me problems. Anyway, even if they do knacker up, they are only £20 or so for a new one, so it isn\'t the end of the world if they give up on you.

I bet you all look after them like they are your children or something lol

I can\'t help but thinking this is a diss from Sabrina on my thread "Silly question".Where is that teenage witch?(lol just kidding)

yea, i take very good care of my ps2and its games, most still look like new, as in no scratches what so ever on them, no food or drink near it, i norm have like empty cd case, or game case on top of it, but thats about it...


if i know im not playing for a while i turn it off at the back after taking game out

I have it on a shelf, leave my cds occasionaly on the ps2 and put them away a couple days later. I blow out the dust when I see it in the vents. Haven\'t had major problems except the lense was very dirty. Works fine now.
