cliking new ps2

[ottoman]

The version 9's are really cheap an nasty. My laser needed calibrating after 9 months of a lot less than average use (less than 1 hour a day) and only thing that went in were originals, ritek g4 or verbatim datalife+ cdr, i wouldn't mind but its meant to support rw, something that would probably have fried the laser and LBA chip. Sony r a bunch of cheap tight $%^&*!!!!!

When the first v9 consoles appeared I purchased 2 or 3 consoles from the local best buy that had crap lasers right out of the box. Most of the consoles i do are pre-mods so the first thing i do before i do a install is make sure it loads everything. I refuse to tweak the laser on a brand new console, If it wont load PSX, PS2 and a ritek dvd backup flawless i take it back.

I think this is going to be my 5th Ps2.

1st- laser problem and tray problem
2nd -laser problem
3rd-v9 syndrome
4th -which is this one maybe laser problem

After the 3rd one i said no more ps2's with chips for me.

I now only buy my ps2's from EB games- they have the best extended warranty.

I would never buy a ps2 without a hassle free return policy.

Just romeo mod your new console and then fit the chip - it won't die from the V9 Syndrome again...

i have to agree even the v10s are crap no load anything out of the box this is the 2nd ps2 in 1 week outta the box that have laser issues!
i mod locally no inet and been thinking for now on i''l be buying preowned ps2s from EB and cut the price on the premods. because the new ones are so Sh@ty that the chances of a refurb being good is better than getting a new one.
