And as far as saying Sony sucks because all PS2's will eventually break; all console's will eventually break. It doesn't matter who makes them. So I guess Nintendo, Microsoft, Sega, and everyone else to ever make a console sucks. Good to know. I guess I won't waste my money on the the next gen systems since the companies making them all suck.
The lifespan if the SNES, N64, and Gamecube are each much much longer than the average PS2 with it's DREs. How many people do you know who went through 3 or more of those because they broke without reason? Ok, but you can hear testimonies from hundreds of people on their PS2s breaking and either getting one on warranty or it being too late and having to buy a brand new one.

Sony may have sold 90 million PS2s, but if 10% of that isn't resales from broken ones... I'd be amazed.
