Nintendo is a joke. Microsoft is a joke. The only real game company is sony. The others are just lookers on as the sony train keeps on rolling on. They all should quit and just make games for sony it would make more sense.

or
until the next sega console

Fisher Price>Sony

Someone needs to tell Sony about a little thing called quality control.

Knotter: Yes, and there are still people out there who haven\'t seen Star Wars.. :)

People wouldn\'t complain if the PS2 wasn\'t so consistently faulty compared to the competition.

It doesn\'t mean that every PS2 is buggy, but if over 5% of all PS2\'s have problems.. that\'s too much.

A funny(?) thing I noticed while surfing a other forum yesterday, was the big amount of people having problems with their Xboxes.. They called it the "dirty disc syndrome" .. Another thing that seems quite common with Xboxes is the harddrive failing, or problems with the A/V port..

The only problem I\'ve heard people having with the GameCube is that the Open Lid button often gets stuck.. But that’s about it.

GameCube is built very well... I\'ve never had any problem with mine. My PS2 also feels quite solid, and its getting pretty old now (pushing 3 years?), still not a single Disk Read Error problem, I hope it stays that way. :)

About the "huge" amount of people saying PS2 is faulty, remember that PS2 is owned by 10x the people compared to GC/XB, and that people usually don’t make threads saying "My PS2 is working fine, just wanted to let you know".. So the problem probably seems bigger than it actually is. :)

Are those 5% an actual official number or something you just made up?

I\'m asking because I don\'t know anyone (myself included of course) that has had any problems with their PS2\'s whatsoever.

I think all the consoles are well-built this generation. Haven\'t experienced anything bad with either one of them. In fact, I\'ve never had any problems with any console I\'ve owned.

JP: Ugh. Maybe I mixed in the PS1\'s numbers for faultiness or something.

I\'ve heard a lot of stories about disc read errors and having to turn your PS2 on its side in order for it to work. While the games will still play without consulting a system repair shop.. that\'s not acceptable.

It probably only happens to 1-5% of PS2\'s though, so really.. concern isn\'t warranted.

I sometimes get the "Disc Read Error", but that is usually because the disc is scratch bad, or dirty.  So, what did i do?  I clean the dirty disc and put it back and it play fine.

On video games, i do get the "Disc Read Error".  but that usually from psx games that i set the disc reading speed to fast and/or texture to smooth that make the game frooze.

But usually i get the disc read error from either the disc is dirty or the len is dirty.  If the len is dirty, i simply just clean it with a disc cleaner and it plays fine again.

Or sometimes ps2 justing up.  So, i just eject the disc and close the tray again and it read it disc.

and I find the NES a pretty good console.  With simple lightweight remote control and durablity of it.  So is the SNES, my SNES is still working today but my brother gave it away to my nephew/nieces.  I love the SNES remote control too.

I get the disc read error most of the time, and all my software is in mint condition.

It seems my PS2 has chosen a bunch of games it won\'t run, and a bunch that it will sometimes run, and a bunch it will always run. \'tis weird.
