factory refurbished ps2

[barkroc2]

ive had manymanymanymany exp. w/ refurbished ps2's. my 1st ps2 was always fine til i put the no solder chip in it, then the laser died w/in weeks. sent to sony, "fixed" with a new laser(so they said) and came back working fine---til i put the chip back in. then laser=dead w/in less than a month...sent to sony "fixed" etc etc etc. i got on a first name basis with the guys at the post office (ultimately i demanded sony send me a totally difft console -hoping it'd be a v7-it wasnt..they sent a difft v4) so i traded my v4 to a friend for his v7. hes never had a problem w/ the v4 w/ no mod. i sent the v7 to spedmetal for a mod a year ago, played the hell out of it and have had no problems to this day. to make a long story short, the day i took the v7 to the postoffice to sent to norcal, dave (the postman) saw m come in the door with a ps2 in hand and said-----"AGAIN????"
