Need Ps2 :(

[daclassicgamingmaster]

oh man. it has happened. after nearly 4 long years of great gameplay, meh ps2 flipped me off and died. she refuses to read discs now

I called tech support and they told me to pay or fuck off. I dont want to pay to have my system fixed, so im potentially looking for a new one.

If anyone has a used system they dont want, im willing to pay around 50 US dollars for one. yes it's cheap, but it's worth a shot

Im in the process of calling Sir Howard Stringer, who's CEO of sony america (based in NY, NY). Im guessing since this forum is MOSTLY in the UK, some people know him. He's a big shit and he's been knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Basically, im asking him for help.

I doubt any of this will work, but it's worth a shot before I call it quits and cough up big dough for a new one

(just to cover this all now, if anyone has a NEW ps2 (slim, etc), im willing to pay around 100 US dollars for it).

Please let me know guys. I'm pretty depressed

ico? no clue

ico's a not-so-well known gem. Not everyone likes it, but if you do, you'll really like it. I got my copy used for $7, so its really cheap also. If you want to know read up some reviews.
