It's funny that it's cartridge games that end up lasting longer than CD-based games, contrary to the marketing in the 90s.... It's a fundamental rule of engineering that anything with moving parts will eventually break down. Modern consoles have a LOT of moving parts - disc drive motors, laser heads, internal fans, hard drive platters... True, I don't expect PS3's and 360's to last almost four decades...Atari 2800 systems still boot! It will be a sad day when PS2's stop running. I think it will still be a while. They mass produced A LOT of PS2 slims, and barring a few issues with certain models (the "ribbon cable scratching discs" got me last year--luckily all the games still play fine despite the scratch) and early PS2 slims had issues with the disc tray needing weight to start reading the disc after a certain amount of wear. If you ever seen a Silver PS2 out in the wild, grab it up. I think it's one of the better revisions. --- 3DS FC: 4656-7003-5457 <cite>F1areaGaman posted [p:902107880] in Well, afte...
