PS2 Problems: has anyone come across this before and advice for what I should do
I got a 2 part thing here, 1 part is the problems I'm having with my PS2. About 2 weeks ago every odd time I turned on my PS2 I heard a buzzing sound sort of like it sounded like it was skipping. I ignored it of course but now it does it every time I turn on my system and I don't even get to load my games, if I do load them and start them up several mins after playing it will start skipping or freeze totally(I play b-ball games a lot and 5 min quarters so by the time it's like 4 mins left in the quarter it will start skipping or freeze). While playing my PS2 it makes this huge sound also like it's skipping really bad. It sounds like the fan is loose or that the cd's spinning but loosely I can't really describe the sound just that it's loud and sounds skippy. Have any of you had this problem and if so how do you fix it? I've vacuumed my PS2 the front on the bottom where those lines are the vents and the back of it where the fan is to get the dust out but still no luck. So if anyone has come across this problem could you please tell me how to fix it.
My second part is if I should get an X-Box instead of my PS2 or not. Here's reasons why to get an X-Box or to get another PS2:
X-Box: Online play thats easier I guess, can get t modded to play super nintendo games and such. Personalized music (I heard you can play your own music while playing games). Has the best graphics out of the 3 (from reviews I've read when games are multi platformed). Fast loading times, Has certain games PS2 and Gamecube don't (Halo, NBA Inside Drive) etc. also holds 4 controllers rather than 2 (like PS2).
PS2: Have 7 or 8 games for it, have a memory card that holds data for games that I don't want to lose or play over to get on a different platform (Mortal Kombat Deception, Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City etc.), Has DVD included (I know u can get dvd with X-Box but it costs like 50 bucks canadian to install at least I saw this when it first came out), Plays playstation 1 games (thouhg I could get an emulator maybe for this), Has Certain games that X-Box and Gamecube don't have (Hot Shots Golf, Kessen, Grand Turismo)
I do have Gamecube by the way I think it's good but my problem is with my PS2 , I'm going to play an X-Box tonight to see what it's like but if any one has advice on my problem or advice on what I should do then please answer.
Thanks

If you still have your warrenty you should phone sony and see if they can do anything with it, hopefully they maybe able to repair it for free or a small fee. The other alternative is just going out and buying a new ps2, get the new small one if you do they look really cool. I would also advice just getting an xbox anyway as they have some really good games and live is great, you can prob pick up a pre-owned xbox some where really cheap.
Well I played an X-Box yesterday that was amazing, it had been moded had a dvd player in it, a snes,nes,N64 and arcade emulators every possible game for snes and everything it was amazing I think I'm going to get an x-box if I can find the guy who did this to the x-box that I played.

I was just wondering if he would care or not. If he wants live though he should get a dual harddrive mod.

I called a guy today that specializes in modding and repairing PS2's and I described what was wrong and he told me that it's the laser that's dusty so hopefully when I get it back it will be working. I might get it modded to so that I can burn games I know it's not legal but the guys company hasn't been shut down so idk. I just need to know how to burn PS2 games if anyone knows could u send me a pm please?

You a cop or something?
You should go with whatever console has the the most exclusive titles for it that you would want. I own all 3 consoles but if I could only have one, it would be the PS2. Mainly because it has the most exlcusive titles that I want (or already have). Like Tekken 5, Virtua Fighter 4:Evolution, GodOfWar, and the upcoming Soul Calibur 3. If you want the console with the best graphics and online support than obviously you should go with the X-Box.

Damn, my PS2 scratched my Tekken 5 to the point where I cant play it anymore, so I buy another Tekken 5, and my damn PS2 almost does the same thing, I heard a weird noise, so I took it out, and it scratched a small part. Damn, now I need to get a PStwo, has anyone had problems with a PStwo?
