Sony\'s blocking Tomb Raider: AOD

With 40 million PS2s shipped some systems are bound to break down.
There was a problem with the first models but these things have been fixed in the newer version.

The same problem is happening to the Xbox awell. People having “Dust on disc” errors or HDD problems. Two of my friends have had to send their in for repair 3 times! (different reasons, one had the disc read error the other had poor image quality)

People must also take care of their system. In the new versions of the console Sony has added a warning sticker that says "Keep the console free from dust".

Most consoles that "breakdown" only have dust on the lens, very easy to avoid. My system is almost 2 years old, and I have had zero problems with it (I play maybe 1-2 hours per day) no disc read errors or anything.. It hasent locked up for several months.

Then again I take care of it

Advice: Vacuum your PS2 every now and then. Keep the front and back grill clean from dust. Don’t use your PS2 on the carpet.

it\'s alright fast, some here are just being down right stupid...

Yep, i have not had any problems yet. i use a paintbrush and a vacum cleraner to clean out the vents
at the front and rear of the machine. seems fine to me. oh, and i occasionally open it up to clean the laser,
say once every 4 months or so. keeps it working in tip-top order.

My \'95 PSX works. Still works....but upside down.

I dont believe a single word that dude says. Check out what he wrote above the Tomb Raider news.

"Another juicy tidbit that we\'ve heard whispered is that rock star (well, he acts like one, anyway) game designer Yu Suzuki has left AM2 to start up his own company out of Sega\'s control. More as it comes. "

Hmmm i would think that if Yu  indeed left AM2, Famitsu and other japanese magazines would\'ve been all over this news a long time ago. How is it that Suzuki left Am2 and only this guy reports it?

BS

Interesting... if it\'s true, that means that Sony will begin to install a quality barrier in the titles....

There are some bad games on PS1 and PS2.  Pretty much anything with the 3 numbers 989 on it.  Also every army men game ever made.  And although I haven\'t played it I have a feeling Brittany\'s Dance Beat is also crap.

I think Tomb Raider will sell well weather it is good or not. At the end of the day young adolecent boys want to see some T&A. It worked pretty well for previous versions.

Could be true with Sony Europe paying several millions to keep these new Tomb Raider games exclusive to PS2, But I don\'t care I think Primal will be better anyway.

It will be better if the Tomb Raider series get canned.This type of no depth gaming is getting old fast.

WORD , Rob.

Sony doesn\'t even care about quality with their own studio\'s.

blah blah blah, Sony doesn\'t care about this, Sony doesn\'t care about that... blah blah blah.

If this was the case, Sony wouldn\'t be in this industry from the start, not to mention the leading brand since 2 generations straight. There\'s a difference with ensuring quality from important or exclusive games or games that no one cares or heard about anyway.

A possible scenario:
Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness is a game which not only is hyped up to be the next good Tomb Raider, but also the first on the PS2. If Sony bought some out some exclusive deal with Eidos to have this game exclusive for PS2, they have every damn right to be worried over quality. Of course it will sell, but obviously the series has gone down after part 2. Sony knows that - they also know that there\'s a lot of hope for this one, so you can bet your sweet ass that Sony gives a shit about how this game turns out.

And for those who still don\'t get it - what will happen if all the hyped up games turn out to be shit? You\'ll have more and more unhappy consumers willing to switch consoles. As I said, what Sony\'s doing is securing their success over a long period of time.

This is simple business we\'re talking about here. My god, use some common sense!

Hello Pot. This is kettle. Kettle, meet pot. As you were.

Seriously, when I look at the rest of Sony\'s "quality control" if this game was bad by their standards, then WHOA!!! Has anyone else played the first PS2 Gameday? WHOA. Just thinking that the same people who let Gameday ship would not let Tomb Raider ship hs me in awe of the utter garbageness of the game. Especially since wise old seven tells us that we are stupid because obviously Sony has ALWAYS had quality control.

Anyone up for a rousing game of Army Men?

Now that you mention it, you are right. They do care about us. They are a simple businesses and all simple businesses care for their consumers. If they didn\'t care about their consumers then they wouldn\'t even be in the business. You know last year Nintendo helped me move out of my apartment and Microsoft came to my birthday party. They really do love all of us more than they love their bottom line. Its true. [/sarcasm]

Seriously, seven, slap yourself. Slap yourself with a lovable PS2.
