Comment How often do PS2s break down? (Score 1) 69

I still have my original PS2 Fat model and it works. I knew a few people who had lasers stop working and some minor issues but overall they seem reliable.
Nintendo stopped repairing the Famicom only because they were running out of parts, so I wonder if this is part of the issue as well as service hours and Sony no longer wanting to pay repairmen and for new parts,
mostly the console is just no longer supported. A lot of amazing games were on the PS2 and PS1 was still pretty popular.

I think anyone should see it, provided they watched all the previous installments, or at least A New Hope, Return of the Jedi and Empire Strikes Back.

Hilary is just going to continue the problems Obama started. Donald trump is going to give to big business and screw the average worker and one of those two are the most likely to be elected.
