What can you do with a broken PS2?

Q_Ball

hey guys,

Just wondering what to do with my broken PS2. The dvd drive is fecker'd, its whizzing and whirring real loudly and as of yesterday stopped reading games and DVD's. Pain in the backside as I'll probably have to go buy me a new one. Any idea's? Beside using it as a paperweight?

Doorstop.
Fancy clay pidgeon.
Handy bit of cash down at the local SvP.

lol...
Just buy a new PS2. It's not really economical getting a PS2 console repaired at this stage. And it's an excuse to get the really pretty small one...

You could grate cheese with it.

I'm firmly in the camp that would use your broken Playstation 2 as a tool for something else.

I.e. you could bludgeon someone, with a working PS2 over the head and voila, problem solved. Old PS2 has a new purpose and you've just acquired a New PS2.

ive broken 2 ps2's ....

i got one "fixed" but even though its fixed it doesnt work properly
so basically
get a new one - they can't be properly fixed

theyre not too expensive to buy on their own anyway these days

Throw it out the bedroom window and watch it smash. This is how all electronic gadgetry that has stopped working should be disposed of.

hold it in your hands, stand outside a room and wait til somebody opens the door, let the door bang into you, drop the ps2, blame person who opened door. get them to pay for repairs / buy new ps2

that's how I fixed my ps2.

bring it with you when you go visiting relatives on christmas day.
theres a fair chance one of there offspring will have recevied a ps2 off the red man
simply perform the switch when no-ones looking

Ring up sony and tell them you want a replacement

Wertz

Go into your local market (assuming you have one) next w/e and sell it as a going concern. If anyone asks why you're selling tell them you want the new slimline but can't justify the spend and that they can have the old one for the princely sum of 50 large. Make sure and wear a hat and maybe forgte to shave until the transaction's been completed.

I had a similar problem.

Just open up the PS2 and clean the lens with some alcohol. worked for me

Use it to beat that annoyingly large group of people that live near me and insist that consoles have better graphics than PCs, all the while shouting "I've got your god-damned console right here!"

Steven

Or you could clean the lens :rolleyes:
