just got back from game with my 3rd copy of GT3, and my PS2 cant read this one either. The guy at game says that he thinks that there's a problem with the DVD aspect of my system, but I can play all my other games, including

Any one have any suggestions as to what could be up. Are there settings on the PS2 that I should adjust? Any information is greatly appreciated.

You'll probably find it's a £10 cashback provided you bought the game from EB in the first place. You have to send back your original receipt to Sony.

I'm kicking myself about this too. I got the voucher giving me the £10 back if I bought GT3 at SR. Trouble is, I bought the game from one of my 'contacts' at a Sony distributor (who shall remain nameless to protect the stupid) a few days before release date. I can't complain really though, as I got it for trade price, which is almost (not not quite) £10 off (yes, margins are that low, folks...).

Yeah, I think that if the game doesn't work, then you should phone the helpline.
Something happened to my PS1 few years ago and I phoned up and they gave me the choice: wait for 3 weeks and get your console repaired(for free), or wait for 3 days and we'll send you a new one. I chose the new one but my old one was Japanese but the new one isn't. Oh well

mines a launch machine and it works fine, what i suggest is ring sony's helpline which is found in the back of nearly every instruction booklet and if they can't sort it then they'll replace your console.
