I've had no probs with either of my ps2's

1st one bought when GT3 came out(not sure of model)
2nd one is a slimline one, which I have had no probs with, even tho it gets thrown into a bag every month and dragged off to a lan party with me!!

but if either dies, I'll be sure to update!!

Well my V1 deck that I got on first day issue was still going strong as of last year. I sold it (after I painted it with superman logo on it). Probably still runnin strong. But I also had a v9 with a few hours of playing time on it (less than a month) it started smoking and killed the laser one day. Ouch, talk about crash and burn. My v9 holding up strong now. After romeo and replacin the laser it seems ok.

I have a v9 ps2 modded with a DMS 3 chip for about fifteen month and I have not had a single problem playing backups with only ritek ridata g04 discs.

When I purchased my V10 Last year of may, I put nothing but Backup DVD-R movies for a whole week this way I have the opportunity to Test the Endurance of the laser everyone kept talking about how it burns up and if it Did I would exchange it for a another since the Warranty would be still Honored(Best Buy has 14 day Exchange Policy for Systems).
After a Week it survived so I got it Chipped with Maxtrix Infinity and Till This day Works Like a Champ..
Over the Years I had V4,V5,V7,V9 and then Finally V10(Permanent Keep)..
Also Keep in mind to use Good Brand Blanks for Backing up Discs,Burn with Reasonable Speed and ALWAYS keep the Disc Dust Free that's what I do..All my friends with them they just lay the games all over the place and it would have Finger prints and dust etc..I.E Killing the laser and stressing it from Dust and Finger Prints..You Reap what you sow!
It's like almost Anything,with Little bit of luck and if you take the time to take care of it, it would last almost eternity..
