Another dead PS2
All I have to say is "thanks Sony!" for the dead PS2 I have.
I have two options:
$45 for a refurbished PS2 or
$75 for a repair on mine.
I have an old.. 30001 series or something. Anyway, I DON'T KNOW if it's worth it to get the $45 dollar one. Should I do this or not?
I am not about to do anything like opening up my ps2. I have used a vacuum, it doesn't help. I have very few options here, and I'm not going to open it up risking screwing up my PS2 even more.
Has anyone else gotten theirs repaired or gotten a refurbished replacement? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? I might as well get the refurbished one, right?
This has been bugging me forever! I need my PS2 so I can play my precious wild arms 3, and the upcoming FFXII and Dragon Quest VIII.
Tell me! *ahem* I mean, what do you recommend?

Before anyone says "BUT THE REPAIRS ARE FREE, AT LEAST FOR ME", Sony changed their policy last May I believe, and now repairs are not free, at all.

Refurbished is the way to go in that case. There's a way of cracking your system open and making adjustments, which only has a slight chance of working and is very tedious to do. The $45 seems like it would be worth it.

I agree. Anyone else have any opinions before I decide to make a possibly risky choice?

BeLIEve me!

that's true, however I almost always wait a half a year or so before I pick up a new system, so that I can take a look at the games for each and make a good decision... which means I could eb holding onto this refurbished PS2 for a while.
But it's worth it for 45 bucks, I'll do it.

Mine went beserk a couple of years back. I opened it up and gave it a clean, and it worked fine, if only for around 10 months. Then it completely packed in so I got a new slim one. Suddenly about a month after I had it, it stopped working. I phoned up the Careline and they said they would give me a new one for free because it was new. I have that one now, and there are no problems.
In short, shell out on the new one.
