Comments on: LIVING WITH THE PS3… /blog/2006/10/living-with-the-ps3/ We're not PlayStation but we sometimes get to speak to them Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:47:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: James Banks /blog/2006/10/living-with-the-ps3/comment-page-1/#comment-549 James Banks Sat, 18 Nov 2006 19:44:38 +0000 /blog/2006/10/26/living-with-the-ps3/#comment-549 I went through SIX PS2s. All in the first 12 months or so after buying it. I bought it about 2 or 3 months after it came out. The original problem is that it scratched my discs, even when it was on its side. Though i believe that the reason why i went through so many is that i kept getting given "serviced" consoles from Sony's UK customer service. Most of them didn't even switch on! The final console i recieved was a brand new one, and it still works fine today. Four years on. So in short, if Sonys last console is anything to go by, then yes it may be a good idea to wait for about a year. Also, it took a year for the PS2 to drop £100 to £199.99 I went through SIX PS2s.

Some Three Speech people (www.threespeech.com) might already have their hands on one, but I don’t, and seeing CheapyD barely control himself as he teases out the bags containing his new Sixaxis and LAN cable just makes me feel more left out.

This thing runs really, really hot. And it's no mystery, seeing as they put the power brick inside a plastic case - this isn't like a pc case, there's very little airflow. Check some other sites and see what else has been said. As for me, I'm going to wait a year or so until all the bugs get sorted out (anyone who was a first adopter on the PS2, how long did yours last?)

I like the honest opinion on the games, it helps remove the idea this blog is just a Sony RP site. MotorStorm looks amazing.

Its how you use that format (to the best potential). Thats what matters. Its the developers (that make the games) not necessarily the system. Anyone agree?

Bit of advice, your bandwidth is going to go through the roof once you start getting more people here. Why are you not resizing the images and then posting them? don't let the blog software do it.
