OMG I am sick to death with my PS2!
I was one of those fools who went out and bought a brand spanking-new Playstation2 and the princly sum of £300! Shortly after launch. (300001 series)
Now it served me well for about 6 months (lol) it was then I had my first "Disk Read Error", it was on Quake III Arena. Firstly the disk drive would click repeatedly ingame, shortly before hanging. Later it refused to read.
Eventually it stopped playing DVD movies altogether, adamantly refusing to read any disc I put in.
So I forked out about £60 to have it repaired, and all was fixed.
For a short time anyway...
It couldn't have been more than 4 months before it did it again, this time worse! It now fails to read many games, CD's and DVD's!!! The only thing I can be certain of it running is original Playstation titles! My Playstation did that!!
So I had it looked at again on the renewed warranty, it was serviced and returned, and the problems are once again back.
I have even attempted to fix it myself by manually adjusting the laser intensity, this worked for a while.
So I'm sick to death of spending time and money getting this thing to run, I love the PS2 and the games on it, I just want one that works, what can I do?
There was a landmark coourt settlement made in the US, see http://www.ps2settlement.com/ for details. No use for us peeps here though...
I want Sony to realise that they sold me Oi! No swearing! and sort it out once and for all (PS3 plz
