(Sorry about the caps thats the way it was written before) This is from the playstation 2 warranty. I though it was kinda funny someone must have said that their ps2 was broken by an act of God.

2

Acts of God is a typical contractual term. It refers to stuff like mudslides, tornadoes, tsunamis, etc.

3

I noticed this when I got my new PS2, but I didn’t find it Agora-worthy.

4

Wow, so…the warranty continues even after the end of the world or something? It’s hard to understand.

5

No, Gil, that’s the thing. It’s not protected under Acts of God.

6

Oh, so if lightning stuck me dead while playing the PS2, thus causing it to explode & engulf my house in flames…Sony wouldn’t be liable for a penny?

7

No.

8

tahta crazy

Wow. Oh well, my Ps2’s warranty is screwed anyway, it one of the first ones out, so I screwed with the inside when it was screwing up, it works from tiem to time, but I need a new one soon…I’ll have to go buy one ina few weeks.

10

Just hit it a few times. That works for mine.

11

My lens is kind of fucked up. It doesn’t read some DVDs on the first try. Its a good two or three years old, so I guess I could go for an update. But I’ll probably wait for the next generation consoles to come out before I upgrade.

12

Well, I kind of want the ‘new, thinner, more capable’ PS2…just to say I have it. Plus, the thinness is great :kissy:

13

I had the same problems, guys. DRE’s aren’t cool or a laughable manner. I could fix it, and I’d find a link so you guys can fix it, but, it’d re-appear after 8 months of fixing it. Then, you repeat. But overdoing it, tolly kills the console. For example, on my 3rd fixup, I sorta killed it. It won’t turn on now.

You know what, I’ll find that link. Give me a few minutes.

You’re the last person who should be posting this. :cool:

15

I didn’t find it agora-worthy 'cause I forgot about it the second I logged in. :<

God, don’t link directly to GFAQs FAQs. Do you want them to pay us a visit?

You should read “The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul” by Douglas Adams. It begins with an Act of God.

Here are some random qutoes from his books:

Yay for random quotes.

There’s another “act of god” at the end of the book that destroys the front of Dirk’s house, and in the sequel, Douglas Adams was going to have him try to argue that it was only the Judeo-Christian god this referred to, and not the Norse gods.
