Vice City Madness
Reply
Posted 2005-05-09, 11:05 PM
Here's the story:

I have bought over 15 copies of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
I've returned about eight of them because they didn't work right off the bat.
The others have all stopped working over time.
I've been getting them since the original. I got the Greatest Hits. Then, I got another version where I believe the word "Haitian" was cut out.

They all stopped working after a few months. And no, none of my other games ever did this.

I don't have a PS2 anymore, but I'm curious as to why this happened.

You didn't take care of it or you're incredibly unlucky. Mine still works fine.

Wow, that really sucks. My guess would be an incredible string of bad luck. My friends that own PS2 haven't had any problems with their copies. As for "Haitian" being cut out, that was in response to a Hispanic group complaining that the game was racist. Rockstar got sick of the bad press and just changed it.

A CD can't just "kill itself". If it gets corrupted it's the fault of the user or the system.

It's not the disc, it's the PS2. Your system sucks, like mine used to, go get a slimline version and you'll be set.

Slimline??! Are you mad?!! I'd lose it in all the rubbish that accumulates on top of my chests of drawers...I can only just find my PS2 under all the papers there...anyway, I haven't, sadly, plaed my PS2 for a few months now...so there isn't any real point in getting a new one...much easier to save up and buy the PS3. And anyway, it has only happened to the one game...none of the others.

I was getting tired of not being able to play Vice city and red faction,....nascar and all of my madden games. Now i've had the stupid Slimline for a while and no problems and it work's great, I'm eventually going to get a power inverter and slap it into my car and get me two headrest monitors, it's real easy to mount and takes up no room at all.

But yeah, saving for the PS3 is what i'm gonna have to start doing, that shit will probably be about 500 dollars.
