The real test of strength

But, even if the PS2 compares in portability to the Gamecube, it isn't as durable, and that hurts it in that area. I mean, I'll pick up my Cube without a second thought because I know even if I did somehow drop it, it would most likely survive. I wouldn't be as comfortable moving around a PS2 because it lacks the same durability.

Not that portability is a huge concern of mine. But, just for the sake of arguement...

the new one is now the current one. so all talks about ps2 should be of that model. unless refered to as 'old ps2'.

and durabiltiy depends on how you look at it. the new ps2 i'm pretty positive is more durable then the old. everything feels solid in it. but the old model was fine for durability unless your a moron who drops a weight directly on the center of it.
my old PS2 fell many times and worked fine. it went thro daily its wear and tear with no probs.

the tests are absolutly pointless cuz none would EVER happen. Its obvious based on design the cube would survive more. its cube shape gives it less of a surface area, and the walls holding that top serface later up are closer together given it much more support. the old model PS2 had a giant flat layer of thin pastic with no real support. dropping a weight right ontop of it obviously, bends that plastic in and probably cracked the board inside of it. was there any question of why they started with that test? you may be saying that the Xbox has that large serface area too. However it has many bumps and ridges in it that add more support because it wont bend as easily as a flat smooth piece.

now of course im pretty sure a weight droped dead center on the new ps2 would also break it.

but i dont see how durability in this area hurts any of them? unless by portability you actually mean putting it under the car and running it over back and forth............... Which oddly enough i bet the new PS2 would survive and the xbox and gc wouldnt. lol
