Sony PlayStation Reviews

I bought a play station in 2006. It never played movies. Now I can't even play games on it, it gets really hot in 10 minutes after I put the game in. I have to keep opening the system and wiping off the disc, just to play a simple madden football game. It is almost imposible to play action games. They jump, the game stops, I can't even move from one part of the game to the next. I paided almost $170.00 for the system, game cost $40.00 - $50.00 a piece.

I have had my PS2 for about 9 months. I have played it for a total of a couple weeks of use over that period. It cuts out or won't read DVD's. It also won't read PS2 games most of the time. This has resulted in a loss of nearly $1000.00.

Sent in a ps2 to be refurbished or repaired. They supposedly sent me a refurbished one. I paid 45.00 for repair and 23.00 for shipping. However, the one they sent me as a replacement is defective as well. It shuts itself off in the middle of the game. The cooling fan is not operating. They told me that it looked like they sent me one that was not repaired and apologized, however there is a 90 day warranty so I can get it fixed for nothing. The catch: I have to pay another 23.00 in shipping as it is Sony's policy that they will not and cannot pay for any shipping to them.

I see so many people complaining about the ps2 i never knew that there were so many people having problems with the console all o can say is that i bought it a couple of years ago and since then ive been having problems freezing, disc read errors,etc i called sony and they said theres nothing they can do since my warranty expired i thought at first it was my problem with how i treated the system but now i see its not just me.

We own a Sony PS2 that our 2 boys attempt to use, and it is increasingly not playing most of our DVD's or the many Sony PS2 games which we have purchased. We purchased it for the advertised convenience of being able to play both with the same unit.

I purchased a Playstation 2 at Walmart for my son for Christmas 2 years ago, for the past 10 months he has not been able to play any Playstion 2 games on it, it comes up with a disc error message, I have also purchased about 25 Playstion 2 games that are now just gathering dust, what a wait of money!

Yes, I was a fool when I bought the Playstion 2, and guess what disc read errors and no recall after 5 yrs of building crap. What a joke Sony!! We deserve our money back or machines fixed. Wait till these errors with the playstation 3 come out, Sony will go down.

As the mother of a 15yr. old, I am truely appalled by your method of limiting the release of the Sony Playstation 3. Sony has gain significant monetary success by marketing and selling to todays youth, I would think that you would feel some type of responsibility to look after the well being of these consumers. After Fridays limited release of PS3 across the country, this is clearly not the case. Until you can manufacture enough to supply the demand, you should not put your customers and retailers in a position to be hurt physically and legally by creating this frenzy of an environment. I am afraid someone will end up losing their life if this marketing strategy does not change soon. It is time for Sony to start looking after the hand that feeds them.

My Playstation 2 will no longer read any disk. I have lost hundreds of dollars on games and accessorys and I'm afraid of purchasing another one and lose even more money. It is not very old and I believe that it should be recalled after so many people have the same issue.

I purchased my daughter a Sony PS2 two years ago and have had nothing but problems with it. It will not read blue disc or some DVDs. This is very disheartening as I have always liked Sony products.

My Playstation 2 started acting up last year, making very unusual jarring noises from inside the disc tray. I sent it in for repairs; it worked for about 6 months; then the jarring noise came back. The PS2 even scratched the surface of two of my games so badly that the PS2 won't even accept them or load them.

Like many others I was one of the idiots who paid top dollar for a Sony PS2 when it first came out, $450 to be exact. To my surprise the system stopped reading discs so I returned it and received a new one from Toys R Us. This system failed as well, and when I took it for repairs they wanted $180.

I bought my four children the Playstation 2 at Wal-Mart for Christmas. It only worked for about 1 year before it stopped reading the disks. I have spent, and so have my children, a fortune on games and accessories for this thing. Now we have a ton of games that we can't do anything with. My kids got their old Playstation 1 back out of storage.

I bought a PlayStation for my son and all of the sudden it stopped working. it would not read the disc. I heard some people with the same problem.

I have been dealing with this Playstation 2 problem from the first week my kids started using this piece of junk. Most DVD's did not work in it, and when I finally complained, the business where I purchased it said they could not do anything because it was 2 days over the 90-day warranty period. When I e-mailed Sony's customer relations people, they stated that they did not want to deal with me over the internet. They stated that a representative will contact me soon to resolve this issue. That was about 3 months ago, so I figure that was just a kiss-off to keep me quiet for now.

With the ps/2 controllers, they break too easy. The (R1) button breaks with ease. I have 4 controllers all with the same problem. Also to save money on repair costs I have to do my own work. Like the DVD issue -- it`s the laser eye that gets dirty. When it stops reading discs I pull it apart & clean it. It's a temporary fix.

I have purchased three Sony playstation 2's in the last year and the company will not replace any of them. I have had numerous problems with software and just want what I paid for to be replaced or repaired with no questions asked but of course Sony has been nothing but a hassle and an inconvenience. They want me to pay for repairs and shipping.
