I wish I had one of those. I don't think it gets any more obscure than a XaviXPort.I saw 4 of those along with tennis, baseball, and bowling games NIB at a thrift store this past year. It took them months to unload them on unsuspecting folks.
Don't you think you're being unfair here? Initial batches of Xboxes were fully capable of cooking themselves, the PSU was confirmed to be a fire hazard. As far as games are concerned, the PS2 easily had the most out of be bunch, and possibly the most memorable ones at that. As far as PS2 Slim is concerned, I find its built quality rather solid, but I suppose it could be a regional matter, same as with the DS Lite. In any case, it's definitely not "the worst"... but hey! It's your opinion.PS2 wins my vote decisively.
I think he is just trying to make up enough reasons to hate Sony.Don't you think you're being unfair here?

Not opinion. Experience.I think he is just trying to make up enough reasons to hate Sony.
A lot of things he said were either false or based on his own opinion. The memory card pricing for example, were simply due to high demands and low supply during PS2 launch. It is basic law of supply and law of demand.
Did you even read what I wrote? It is priced very high because of limited supply during PS2 launch. At that time both the system and the memory card were scarce (Sony couldn't make enough to deal with the demand). Retailers sold memory cards much higher than MSRP because of low supply. This is basic Economic stuff, which you should've been taught in high school.There was no reason for memory cards to be that heinously overpriced, and then to write games that basically demand taking it over, like how SOCOM used half the damn card at a time for its save data. Or how many launch games had to be beaten in one sitting because nobody could afford a memory card to stop halfway.
So, other consoles also had its fair share of hardware problem. Why aren't you complaining about them?Let's not forget the PS2 also received not one, but two class action lawsuits regarding the hardware faults, and another for blatantly stealing Immersion's patents and claiming them as their own. It took these to finally get them to up their non-existent warranty to one year as opposed to 90 days, because the hardware always died on day 91.
I find it surprising to see you defending the weakest console of the generation while your pick for the worst console was the most powerful one. If only there was a modern parallel of powerful hardware vs. uniqueness...Don't you think you're being unfair here?
