Unadultrated?  Looks like it\'s time for me to get the ol\' dictionary out.  I\'ve never heard that word used in this kind of sentence.

Edit: Unadultrated -- not mixed with inpurities.  Thanks for the compliment, but I\'m in no way 100% genious.

How many is this for you so far? 3,4?


I know many of us have had multiple PS2\'s on here. I, fortunately treat mine like gold, after having 3 PSXs, so far no problems with it.

But how do electronic stores check the serial numbers?  Is it printed on the box, receipt, and the system itself.

i work for EB and when we sell any hardware, we scan the barcode on the box, then it asks for the serial number of the hardware i.e. PS2, XBOX, GC, GBA, N64, PSOne. and once we scan the serial it asks if they want a warranty. after all that is done, the receipt prints out. and on the receipt it shows the serial number

why go through all that trouble ? and what happens if you get caught or it doesnt work ?

why not just go to EB and buy a warranty for 1 year ? if anything happens, no matter what happens, bring it back to EB and they\'ll give you a new one on the spot

Hey bandit, I am NeoSega from UGTZ, we have talked before, it has been a while since I have been to it, we should do a trade, eh?

You won\'t get caught if you go to Walmart.  And the only reason I did it was because Sony ripped me off by giving me a faulty PS2.  I\'ve had my new PS2 for around 4-5 months now, and it is still working perfectly.

Speaking of Sony ripping people off, I had one of the launch PSXs too.  It had that sound skipping problem after a few years, and I had to send it in to get it fixed.  Just last month, I got a letter saying that to avoid a lawsuit, Sony promised to give either $30 or a free game to all those who had their PSX\'s sound problem fixed.  It wasn\'t as much as I paid to get it fixed, but it\'s better than nothing.  I think the same thing will happen with all of the faulty launch PS2s.
