That's Just How It Is

By Anonymous (22/05/2006)
  • Pros: Huge library, good price value, decently durable
  • Cons: Cheap laser lens, easy-to-overheat system

So, this is how it is. Many people have noticed that their PS2 blacks have been messing up -- some won't play games, while others hesitate when doing so. I have this problem. I have had my PS2 for two-three years, and the problem is that the laser lens is a cheap off-brand. Many people might have noticed the "rollback" on this Playstation model, this is because they removed "unneccesary" parts to decrease the bulk. They decreased the quality of the laser, handicapping this console very much so. I am apprehensive to by a PS2 Slim for this same reason. I had to take apart my PS2, clean the lens, and reassemble it to get it working again, and its further failing causes me to have to do a Console Diagnosis to run Final Fantasy VII, and FFX suffers in the battles, because the lens isn't reading correctly. God of War was a struggle for a while because the lens wouldn't recognize the format of the "gold-tinted" disk. Sony is giving us crap. Sorry, folks, that's just how it is.
