This is the face if a worried man - :o
And that at the moment is me. Over the past week, when loading a game on my PS2 it has been making a rather unusual ticking noise, its not the laser moving, its another strange noise, and it started to worry me. Then, 3 times during the last 3 days, when turning my PS 2 on, waiting for it to load the game up it had said " Disc Error" or something to that effect.
This has happened on 3 games, GTA 3, Pro Evo and Smackdown 3. Its only happened on these games as there the only ones i have played other the last week.
Im not sure what to do, is it just a one off and will the problem go away, or should i ring Sony, bare in mind the 24th November has gone and so has my warranty, will they do anything or will they charge me as i can not afford to pay for a replacement.
Anyone else had a similar problem, and what should i do?

Pro Evo, If the delivery bloke says
"That will be 200 quid" you can say
"I have already bought a PS2, and I damn well know that they aren't meant to have errors on them after 2 years, I am a valued customer and I want respect."
Hopefully the bloke should be in shock and give it to you free of charge.
But you should only pay a delivery fee plus 5 quid or something like that, if not give him a fat lip and knick off with a brand new PS2 :).

I think they fix the broken PS2, then trade it to someone else who has a broken PS2 that is older than 30 days then fix that, and so on. If it is younger than 30 days, they give you a brand new one. And if it is older than a year, they should charge you what it cost them to repair, but you will get someone else's repaired one. The charge should be no where near £200. Hopefully about £50 or less!

Nope, just 1 year.
Wait until you can fit the PS2 into your budget.
(wait until yer got enough cash!!)

Yeah but the problem is becoming more and more apparant and will eventually pack in, then what will i do, 17 games but no PS2.
If you don't have enough money when the delivery guy comes, just tell him to go away. He can't force you to pay if you haven't agreed a price. You won't have a new PS2, but you won't be broke either.
