The summer of 2005 a friend and I played San Andreas nonstop 24 hours a day without turning off his PS2 and after five days it started making buzzing sounds and shut off and was hot to the touch. And then it turned back on anyway and works to this day. Godlike console

My PS2 isn't working. Hopefully someone can talk me through fixing it without getting flamed off the forum.

Last I checked my ps2 still runs as long as you flip it upside down after you put the disk in.

The little animated icons for all your saves on the Memory Card menu were the best.

I forget which game it was but one of them had a clue on the back to solve a puzzle in the game, it was very cool.

had a ps2 and gamecube but kids would bring the xbox to school for halo/halo2 splitscreen all the time

one time a kid brought his ps2 to play a movie for the class. the 360 had already been out for a while, when he tried to power it on it would flash on for a moment and power off immediately, he admitted he hasn't touched it in a while so he started inspecting it and went "AACKK" and dropped it on the floor. it didn't break but bigass fireants started pouring out of it and everyone screamed and bolted out of the room
