Today was a very sad indded on my behalf for the simple fact last night i purchased Devil May Cry 3 not knowing how much longer my PoS2 was going to last. I bought Tekken 5 knowing that it would atleast read those games a few weeks ago without any doubt since it is one of my favorite series. I played and was addicted to dmc3 for 4 hours last night. I get up this morning and no such luck. It played tekken fine but later during the day i tried tekken and no longer did it read. I was in a dilemma whether on chancing on a third ps2 this gen or waiting for ps3. WIth tekken and dmc3 i couldnt do it not metioning the other 18 or so i games i had. I ended up getting a pstwo with warrany hope this works for awhile. ONe thing for sure no more ps2s in my life after this one i hope the ps3s bluray drives will be better.
