Arqade Asked by Frozendragon on December 2, 2020
I’m still using a PlayStation 2. I’m aware that nothing lasts forever, but I would like to make the PlayStation 2 last as long as it can. I bought it roughly when PlayStation 2 was released but chipped from the start (was legal then and I think it still is in my country). I use it around 0-2 times a month. Let say 1 on average. When I play it’s usually 2 or more players and we play long sessions of 12+ hours.
What can I do to improve the lifetime of the console?
Firstly, I think it's important that you noted that nothing lasts forever. The PS2 has components that will eventually wear out over time, even if preserved or used sparingly.
Most notably, it is likely that one or all of these components will eventually fail:
This isn't an exhaustive list of what can break but they will be the most common complaints of broken hardware. Note that if any of these happen to you that all hope is not lost, most of these parts are replaceable, and there are third-party (i.e. not Sony) vendors that still offer replacement parts (and will for years to come).
Now, in terms of your actual question of how to look after your PS2 so that it will have a long lifetime, it's all the simple stuff really:

If you are serious about using your PS2 for a significant amount of time in the future, the key appears to be to have plenty of spare parts.
What I would expect to be the (by far) most economical way to achieve this, is to buy one or two PS2 devices that you can harvest at will.
