Have I used an offensive tone lately? You may not agree with my opinions but leave the foul mouth and insults off my screen thank you

What did my cat ever do to you? I'm sure if I insult your pets I'll get banned. Makes one wonder about things like that. Also, it takes two to argue.

I will admit I did the math on the USB speed - I was wrong. I assumed Sony had used USB 2.0 on at least the newer model, I don't have a slim model - I've looked it up since
The PS2 has a 4x DVD-ROM which should put it around 5.4MB/s
USB 1.0 max speed is 1.5MB/s

I know you won't get max speed on burned discs though, even with the best quality medium as I had a chipped PS2 once, I didn't like it. I have used the swap disc in the past, I don't very often. The keycards someone spoke of are crap, you can make one out of you're old library card. The only people who should use them are the people who own fewer than 8 games, but those people are out there

If I said Sony will do repairs for free if you know what to say, how does calling me a suck up help people on this board? We all know Sony’s lasers are crap; lets all pat ourselves on the back for that one. Sony knows it too, that's why they have their repair centers. I'll hold my tongue on the phone if it will save me 75 bucks in repair costs. Getting angry may feel good, but the person you're talking to on the phone didn't design or build your PS2. They can however give you an RMA number, which should be your goal
