Well, to be fair, I agree that Sony's products are a piece of crap. My PS2 has already had to be replaced because the laser gave out after roughly 3 years of use.
|
So you having to replace it is somehow their fault? You know, you could have opened it, cleaned the laser lense, and alter the position of the laser until the 'disk read error' stopped?
I've had mine for 4-5 years, only recently has it started the 'disk read error' and stopped working, it only took 15-20 minutes with a small screw driver a butter knife, and a q-tip to fix it and completely remove the disk read errors, it has yet to mess up since then.

I've tried a DS and a PSP, the PSP just kicks the DS's ass in so many ways. Integrated Wireless, MP3 player, Picture Viewer, Portable Movie player and games with way better graphics and CD quality sound, vs. a digitizer.
|
The DS does have integrated wireless. You can connect with up to 16 people, and you only need 1 game pack.
w00t?

Isn't it illegal to open up game cases like that?
I saw an article on it somewhere, Some guy who opened up an xbox and overclocked it.
Not that it'd stop me from doing it anyway..

Why would it be illigal? You bought the freaking thing... But of course, we have some dumb laws in the world.

Uh, no it isn't illegal... It just voids your warranty. Which doesn't really matter since it takes a few years for the laser to get dirty enough and out of alignment/etc., way past the 90 day warranty.

Besides the PSP's graphics are only a little better than DS. DS's graphics are about equal to PlayStation's and PSP's are equal to Sega Dream Casts.

The PSP's graphics are almost equivalent to the PS2.

I did that. It was the first thing I did when I got disc read errors on many different discs.
|
And it didn't fix it? Worked when I did it with mine...

I dunno where u get ur hardware... but i just check the net quick and bestbuy has it for 250... and amazon has the value pack for $319.97...
The PSP isn't out in euroland so i can't check my own stores... The NDS is 150 here i thought.
O and i don't see the touchscreen as a useless gimmick you can have way better control for RTS and FPS games..

Unless your left handed at writing like me.. then its just akward

For those having disc read errors on their PS2's, try this:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/915821.html
then look for the "Disc Read Error Sony Repair FAQ".
(edit: I had linked directly to the FAQ and forgot that won't work)
After owning mine for about three years, it stopped working completely. I found this solution at GF and tried it. They sent me a new (refurbished) unit along with a new DS controller and cables even after I had opened the case and tried to adjust the laser (of course I didn't volunteer that info). Personally, I have mixed feelings about Sony products. I have a DVD Player that I love but I get read errors with it, and a cordless phone that's crapped out, but I have to say that I think they did me right with the PS2. I've had my PSP now for about a week and a half and so far it's perfect, time will tell I guess.

Well obviously (maybe not for you), that info is for those who have already "wased" their money on one and have been having problems with it.

I had disc read errors like java did. It got so bad that I had to manually focus the lens for whenever I wanted to play blue backed discs and silver backed ones. So I said fuck this and bought the small PS2 for $150. It works much better than my old P.O.S.
