I got the PS2 on day of release. Was one of the faulty ones that went out and disc drawer wouldn't open when I got it home.

Had a right ordeal after that. Shop wouldn't replace it as they said cos my name was on a waiting list my contract was effectively with Sony. Sony said my contract was with the shop I got it from. Got consumer watchdog involved who said Sony were responsible.

I got a replacement from Sony four weeks later with a voucher for a free game up to value of £40. Couldn't replace it sooner as none in stock.

Am waiting a few months before I get PS3 this time
