When ever i put in some dvds they play half way though and that its starts to skip or does not read the disk any more the dvds that do not work are aliens all the james bond movies and this vampire thing so if any can help please do
I've noticed that the DVD player can give some probs.
I've had a few that skip and jump, thought they were the discs, then got a dedicated player and no problemo.
Plays games fine and I know it ain't the discs.
Just sometimes the DVD doesn't want to work that well.

One of my DVDs stopped half way through once. But thats only becasue it had loads of my borthers fingerprints on it!
I think it's better horizontally and it'll save you £10 for a stand, My mate had a problem with the "she's all that" disc which justs stopped half way through. dunno why.
Wookiee`s spot on with the lying it horizontally thing. I now have mine horizontally under my TV, which allows Jaws to work correctly, but before, it was vertical, and skipped chapters 15 and 16.
Do you have your PS2 standing vertically? If so, lay it flat and try again.
On some of the older machines there's a slight problem with the DVD laser, and if your disc is slightly warped (as can happen - though it may not show visibly) then the laser can't read properly as it moves to the outside of the disc and the warp of the disc gets worse.
If it works lying flat, leave it like that. If it's already flat and isn't working, phone Sony on 08705 99 88 77 and they'll have a new machine to you in 48 hours. Have your old machine ready to go back with the courier.
