Not long ago my PS2 began to not read certain discs which required me to clean the lens - its not even two years old yet.
My cousins PS2 which is 6 months younger than mine stopped reading all but psone disks and he has had to buy a £50 replacement lens.
Bah, for him.

Well, given that the makers (Sony) put the console on the shelves with the idea in mind that they would be making a loss on it for the first 2-3 years, then it's hardly surprising when the actual console fails to win awards for reliable manufacturing.
The controllers aint to grand either, on both of mine and on my Psone ones, the analogue swithes itself off - usually when im using it to turn a corner in WRC.
I've had my PS2 for 2 years now and i've not had any problems with it. Perhaps you're just one of the unlucky few who happened to pick up a faulty piece of kit.
I've had my PS2 since launch and have had no problems with it at all. I do have broken a few of my controllers, but that's mainly to do with throwing/dropping them.
I think you're probably just unlucky.

Yeah, I haven't had any problems with mine either luckily.

The problem with mine was that it stopped loading diskc straight away - you had to open the browser and select the disk. I solved the problem by using a dvd lens cleaner - so it was not a major problem.
But my cousins was going a similar way so I lent him the lens cleaner, the next time I spoke to him he siad he'd bought a new lens for £50 and his dad will install it.

He's lying. If his was only a year old, and his cousins 6 months younger, then they both could have took it back and got a new one under the guarantee. He's lying, lying I tell you!
It's also evident by the fact his other 240 or so posts are in the Ninty forum...
i have the same problem but it does'nt read anything, not even lens cleaning discs
