Wow...this is just...wow.

I've never had a problem with fragile goods from Sony myself. My PS1 still works perfectly, as does my PS2. In fact, my PS2 is the only system I have that hasn't had a disk read error. My GCN was replaced a while back due to some internal error causing disk read problems (though the one they replaced it with has yet to have a single problem) and I had to do the same with my XBox after a certain point (again, not a single problem after replacement). I think all 3 companies released botchy systems at first, but later fixed them. The Dreamcast had the same issue... I got my PS2 AFTER the first remodel, so that would explain why mine hasn't screwed up yet. As for why more PS2 owners complain of faulty systems, well, there are more PS2 owners period.
