Well, I find that my PS2 isn't working this weekend. I think one of my kids dropped it while trying to get it down (without permission, I might add.) He's not fessing up, but I already know that he got into it. It's a moot point anyway.
Hopefully it's just a case of the laser becoming mis-aligned, and that it can be fixed easily. We'll see. If not, I'll have to somehow acquire another one before I can play again.
Which is a real shame, because after a fallow period, I was actually coming around to having interest in playing more of my games again.
