Let\'s let Sony know how we feel about their bad hardware

The reason I\'m posting this is simple:  I want to know if we can get some kind of "petition" (and yes I know it\'s trite and overused) to let Sony know that lots of consumers are getting faulty PS2s.  And many of them show signs of defectiveness outside their 90 day window of a warranty.

Let\'s not clog this thread with debates or useless crap.  Please just vote here if you\'ve had a bad PS2 or would be willing to let Sony know that your experiences with their latest console have not been without error.

We have a lot of members here, and if we all showed interest in this, especially from a global point of view, we might see Sony change their policy.

I would sign a petition, even though I haven\'t had any problems with my PS2.

well the best way to succesfully get this done is to form an online petition and present it to multiple forums to get the biggest impact

I haven\'t had any problems so I can\'t complain

Well I had a problem with my PS2 and had to send it in to get fixed... Though I really don\'t see what Sony could do to prevent this from their next release. They had a short time to prepare for launch and just rushed their production they did it once and they\'ll do it again if nessacary. But the petition thing is worth a try I guess I would sign.

I\'ve yet to have any problem. And altough I take good care. My friends are less then perfect. With a petition though you should always have an option for the opposite. I would have vooted that I have not had a problem.

No problems here (had it since December).

Since when in a petition they offer the other side.  Some girl came to my door last night to have me sign a clean air petition regarding a power plant here...  She didn\'t offer me a dirty air petition.

I have had no problems since January (touch wood) but would like to sign petition anyway. (Always think of the future.  It is only hardware and can fall apart with one wrong bump.)

Hold on now.

I\'m not defending defective hardware, but remember that we nerds on forums hear alot of sh!t.

Let\'s try to get actual numbers. What is the "defect rate"?

1%
5%

What?!?

Personally I believe it\'s waaay low, like <2%, which is par for any massively produced high tech machine.

How many MILLIONS of units are out there now??? .....And how many tens of horror stories have we heard??

Well my PS2 worked great so far, hope it lasts,
I would sign a petition though.  

well mine is pissing me off

it won\'t let me play tekken for some reason now

it has never detected my arcadestick i bought
it has never sent the vibration function to any of my controllers
its ****ed up in the small ways which are showing signs to the big ones and seeing how i got it at launch its way past warranty - dang this sucks - i don\'t want to send it in but it seems to be in that direction already

I\'m completely satisfied with all my Sony products.

I refuse to sign.

I\'ll sign. Mine refuses to play certain DVDs and I\'ve seen too many threads about PS2s screwing up.

I\'ll sign it for the simple fact that Sony "games" are horrible!!  Nintendo can produce Mario, Sega has there arcade style games and Sonic.  Come on sony, forget about the music and phones for a while.  

My PS2 freezes a bit in Xenogears.

You don\'t have to have a defective PS2 to sign this

If you have concern for the future of your system or your friend\'s system once it is no longer covered under warranty then you should sign.  My unit was barely covered under warranty and there has been at least 2 people here who are going to have to pay $100+ to fix a Sony mistake.  I don\'t want that to happen to me or anyone else.

And in case you have forgotten, in Japan lots of people are having to pay to have their PS2 lens replaced b/c it is faulty and GT3 A-spec will not play and Sony has acknoweledged this IS a hardware problem, but has no plans to re-imburse the consumer.
