I have tried using one of those CD laser cleaner things, which hasnt made any difference. I then thought maybe the disks were scratched, and maybe that was the cause. I checked the disks there were a few marks on them, but nothing significant. So I then tried one of the games that didnt work on my PS2 (slimline), and it worked fine. So now I'm at a loss as to what might be the cause.
If anyone can shed any light onto this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.

Oh dear, there's always one isn't there.

Being a PS2 owner since launch and having 3 refurbished models and the original one all swapped, I'd say it was fair that the DVD drives in the PS2 are cheap rubbish.
The problem with them is tracking issues, and this is a common occurence on cheap PC DVD drives, I see a link there :).
PS2s are generally just all rubbishy.
The last console problem I had was with my first-gen PS1 - which knackered up because I chipped it.
That's it really.
I hated the 'no swaps back' rule then :(
