"PS2 discs!"

I brought my PS2 back in January of this year and have never regretted buying it, but there has been one thing I have noticed that Sony have got a bit wrong. At this point your probably saying there is nothing wrong with the PS2, but yes, it’s the discs they get scratched very easily compared to PS1 games. This is especially with the CD discs, I have 2 games that are on CD discs and both of them have scratches, which may be due to the PS2 when in the vertical position because the scratches are in the same position as one of the grooves in the disc tray. These scratches in fact stop the games from working and I had to send away for new replacement discs at a cost of £10 each. The DVD discs on the other hand are much better as so fare they have no scratches on them and they still work.

So remember kids, if you look after your Playstation discs then your games will look after you!

Hmm.

My PS2 does make a noise, a really unhealthy cow-type noise when playing Starfighter, MGS2 Demo, and sometimes Timesplitters.

When I had a SNES I use to keep the cartridges in the plastic bag they provided. This kept them safe and they were really easy to get out and use.

You've been very lucky then, I reckon! I can't believe you pay all that money for a game (or movie) and risk damaging it by keeping it in a pile, unboxed!

I even kept my Gameboy/Gamegear carts in their boxes... get any dust on the contacts and you could lose the game and the console.

Hmmm, am i the odd one out? i dont really give a toss about my discs ... games or films. I just pile them up to i dont have to keep getting them out of thier cases. Suppose its just a habit i picked up from the Nintendo systems (carts dont need cases).

All my discs work fine mind. I got a old copy of ISS pro evo that has loads of scratches, but it still works fine.

I can add a third to the sad/psychotic/scary disc straightening club!

I do... I thought I was the only sad git to do that, so thanks! :-)

I look after my games aswell. Does anyone have to always put the disc perfectly in the case so its got the PS2 bit at the bottom and the name at the top. I can never have any CD/DVD that isnt perfectly at 0 degrees roation. Do you get what I mean ?

nope i do aswell

am i the only person who looks after my discs??

Thanks for your replys, I might just phone sony.
