I think my second PS2 is now on the way out!!

I had a couple of DVD's for Christmas, watched one on Boxing Day, when I could force myself to switch off PES.

I went to watch the same DVD a couple of days ago, and the machine won't read the DVD at all. This was also the case with my newly purchased Tomb Raider DVD ( yes I know it's not the greatest film, but it's got Angelina Jolie dressed up as Lara Croft! What else does it need?).

It will still play some of my collection of DVDs but not all, including some that had worked previously.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution, other than ring Sony and shout at them, again?

Cheers

Have you checked the DVDs for marks, or even greasy finger prints? I've had my PS2 since launch, and it's still fine (which of course means it will explode this evening, and burn down the flat....).

As with pro devo, I've a launch machine which is fine. The onl discs I've had problems with also give problems on a dedicated player, so I know it's not my PS2.

I bought Final Fantasy 7 to play on my PS2. For the first few times it played fine, but then on one occasion, the PS2 couldn't detect the disc! 1 quick wipe over the back with me jumper sleeve, and I was following the adventures of Cloud & co once more!
