Bear in mind folks, that this is an original Playstation. None of that PS1 crap. I've had this system for, geez, must be goin' on 7 years now. This isent my first Playstation but my second, becuase my idiot brother broke the first.

It's been acting kinda weird lately. The only game that loads without any problems is Final Fantasy Origins, and I think that's becuase it's my newest game. If I try to load any other game, 50% of the time it wont load; 25% of the time I'll get a "please insert Playstaion game disk" screen, and 25% of the time it'll work. I even bought a Gamedoctor to try and fix up my disks, but that didnt help much. Sure, when they load they have no skips, but they still have trouble loading. Not to mention some times the controller won't work. Or it won't detect my memory card. It seems as though it doesnt have that much time left. It's a damn shame becuase I have had it for so long. Too bad it wasent built as solidly as the SNES, which still works without too many problems.

Sounds like it is going to shit. For loading games, sometimes putting the PS on its side works.

I had to put my playstation on its side for games to work. For some reason I think its since I got it chipped. And now my ps2 won't play playstation games. Just makes a terrible noise

Just get a PSone. It's only $50 these days. Or get a PS2. It plays PS games.

Just throw it at the fucking wall. Or you could always try to fix it yourself. :(
