"PS2 = Shoddy manufacturing..."

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.

Mine's fine.

I agree ith Natbuc

i have the same problem but it does'nt read anything, not even lens cleaning discs

It's also evident by the fact his other 240 or so posts are in the Ninty forum...

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
