It usually depends on the model. In some cases, certain batches can be more prone to crashing than others. But as long as you take care of your system (i.e. no pepperoni in the disk drive, no overheating, etc.) it should last you another couple of years.

lol i do treat it sort off. its air vents is full of crap and its missing the trays PS2 cover thing lol.

The controller is same age and that defently should be dead. It has no upper rubber on the wires ans the vibrator dont work and a giant crack on the left handle.

I'd tell you it's also a lot of random luck.. >_>

All the time it happens that people take good care of their things and then they break for no reason, whereas other people don't pay any attention to it and it lasts forever..

If I was you, I'd get another PS2 for Christmas. 7 years might be pushing it. (At least in my opinion, nothing technical about it, just that maybe someday it dies out of nowhere and you find yourself consoleless. :[ )

If you have one of the earliest ones you might be expecting a shorter lifetime, but to be honest most of the bugged ones will have crashed by now. In theory the system should keep going for a long time provided you don't wreck it. Controllers on the other hand just wear out, but how long they last will just depend on how much you use them.

could last forever. it just depends on how you treat it. i still have a sega cd ,dc,saturn,ps1,nes,super nes, gen , 32x,atari 2600. and they all still work . main thing is treat it well and you should have no problems unless you have an xbox360

Same here, minus the "pissed on" part. It's gone through several thunderstorms that have taken out two computers and three tvs, too.
