Mines been flawlessly running since 2004. I'm tempted to get the silver PS2 slim, but can't bring myself to replace a perfectly functional fatty.... plus I like the tray loading.

I had a fatty buy I sold it to a coworker for $100 last year and picked up the slim. The old one was having weird noises with the tray loader. I warned the buyer about it but they went along with it anyways.

I love the slim. It's so.... slim. The only downside to it is the lack of HardDrive support. But I never had the HardDrive anyways, and have no interest in getting one for the PS2.

I've had the same PS2 since launch and have never had a problem with it. I think the PS2 last longer if you dont use it as a DVD player. Not sure if thats true for everyone but thats been my experience.

It does seem that way, I rarely use it for DVD now and this particular one has lasted pretty long.

Had mine since 2000 and it still works great. Never once used it as a DVD player (already had a DVD player back then). I remember the guy at EB trying to get me to buy the extended warranty on it, telling me how likely the thing was to break. I just kinda laughed at him.

My Xbox, on the other hand, was dead within a year. 3rd player controller port died first, then the DVD drive went after that. Guess I should have gotten the extended warranty on that one. :roll:

Im glad that there are people out there who take care of their PS2's. Many people (not everyone) who breaks there PS2's break it because of carelessness. I know some of my friends that do. I STILL have my fatty, (though its reaching its limit) and I have taken great care of it.

Many people buy the prize horse, shoot it, and then complain that it doesnt run properly. I hate that.

Glad to see some fatty's still alive out there.

My fatty died after about 3 years. I think my slim may be dying too :(

I miss my fatty - the disc loader is so much better than slim.
