My first PlayStation died back in 2000, I got it around Christmas '95. I bought my first PS2 back around '04, I think, and went through three of them, each was used, each Disc Read Errored me.

Never had a Dreamcast give me any problems except for my first unit. My sister kept it on the carpet during my first year of college, and it sucked up a great deal of debris. Thankfully, a can of compressed air brought it back good as new. Saturns never gave me any trouble either.

My first and only Xbox was used, and the DVD drive didn't work on it. Replaced the drive, and it worked fine.

Dreamcast: 15 good games tops

Gamecube: 15-20 GG

PS2: 100+ good games, backward compatible, online capability, played DVD's right out of box, still being supported.

Yeah Yeller, I can see why you hate it....

I never, ever said I "hated" the PS2, nerds relax. I just basically don't really care about it.

OMG maybe games are gradually becoming less imporant to me somehow? Let's get the FBI on the horn.

Come on, the PS2 was a piece of shit that barely outperformed the dreamcast it was supposed to lay waste to. The PS2 hardware itself, sucked balls. If it never existed, the other consoles of the era would have had equal or superior versions of everything the PS2 ever came out with.

Just like the Wii is holding this gen back somewhat, the PS2 held last gen back tenfold.

Defend the library, because its extensive and awesome, but the console? Garbage.
