Exactly what i was going to say...but by the time that they start playing up (3 to 4 years down the line) we'll be too wrapped up in the PS3.

3-4 years! Well, you’re optimistic. Considering some models history of barely make it past their 90 day warranties!! I remember talking with a Manager of a large retail chain where they had over 90% returns on PS2’s one season, a few years back.

and I think 3-4 years for PS3 is also optimistic - with the way Sony are framing

Wow...90% what versions were these? It must have been a dodgy batch.

My fist PS2 (v3) lasted 4 years until it started getting DRE but that was because it needed a manual clean and no prblems so far, except it won't read DVD-Backup's. But i aint bothered about backups on that as i have another modded PS2.

lufcfan you maybe right with me being optimistic about the release of the PS3....it seems like there is no news of it whatsoever...Sony have made a good ploy, to get the people off there backs by introducing people with the PSP, therefore thats the latest craze. But i want a PS3 now damnit...
