Dust is a very common problem with things breaking, my computer broke after an over load of dust in the CPU ;o, and if dust gets into any console it will damage "something". So yes all consoles will break at sometime, even if you're taking good care of it. My ps2 has the same problem as Ashley's it has problems reading PSX discs, so now I've just put all my PSX games on my pc and I'm playing them on an emulator. just perfectly.

The ps2 is for my ps2 games only now.
