Maybe now I can afford to buy a "new" better model since Sony gives too much hassle replacing the one they sent me in replace for the one they sent me in replace for the one I originally bought! ;-)
Neph's back! And charming as ever.

That's like saying you could make the mathematical problems 2+2 an 1+1 have the same result. It's just not possible. Take it easy on the math there buddy ;-).

He's right.. if you google "defective nintendo gamecube", "defective microsoft xbox" and "defective sony playstation 2", sony comes back with the most hits...
However, a) the sony playstation 2 has been on the market longer than the other units, b) the sony ps2 has sold more worldwide than the other units and c) the playstation 2 units sold first have been active longer than the other units...
In summary, he's right about the numbers, however, those numbers are not accurate predictors of the failure rate per number of units sold.

Anyhow, I am planning on getting a refurbished (old style) ps2 and popping a hard drive into it later on this summer... Lower prices are a good thing! I've been waiting for this.

Hehehehehe... Eat that cake, Strubes.
While this is true, I don't buy this as an excuse for sales. If you were to calculate the percentage of failure and bring it to a ratio in order to better compare to that of XBX or Gamecube, I'm sure you'd see a clear difference even still. I maintain my position.

Strubes said:Take that huh? Haha you can't take the word of a website for that. No numbers that you find will be valid...there's tons of reasons why. I already posted this in another area though. Nice try though.
Denial only gets you so far ;-).

Woohoo, we have fanboys of all sorts coming out of the woodwork on this one. :lol
Electronics break down. You might get a defective system, you might not. No matter how reputable a company is.
Ive had my Xbox completely break down. My PS2 is barely holding up, and my GC (which just recently has surpassed my PS2 for most played system) is still good as new.

You can all keep your opinions, I won't be swayed without numbers from controlled comparisons.

I doubt you'll be able to convince Sony to release numbers on number of consoles broken when all they want to do is release numbers of consoles SHIPPED, one of the most irrelevant numbers plausible.
Otherwise, I'm essentially done disputing with you fellows, it's a well known fact and I don't need to waste more time attempting to convince you that the sun rises in the east every morning.
