Everytime I insert a game, it keeps making sounds that indicate it's not reading the disc properly. I'm thinking of ringing the customer hotline to tell them of the problem (in actual fact I'm seeking for mercy) but this just isn't right. I haven't done anything in anyway to my PS2 to not make it work properly, otherwise I wouldn't be complaining right this moment.
I even had to bash it a couple of time because I got so sick of it! My games are working, but it's so mush hassle to just try and start a game. Plus, when it tries to load a game, it makes a *clanking* noise. It wasn't until quite recently that I realised this clanking noise was in fact scratching and defacing my discs, which further makes the whole task of beginning a game even worse.
To be honest, I'm not too pleased by this considering I even payed the maximum price for my PS2 (300 quid) with no controller or memory card! Surely I have a case here!
Anyone else facing similar problems?
I wrote to sony and i have to phone them to get more advice. But apparently if you really hassle them they will replace the faulty PS2 free of charge. Im really peed off cos I cant play 4 player virtua tennis 2 now!!!
Does anyone know if sony will replace my PS2 even though I opened it cos i was THAT desperate?
I rang that number and everything has been sorted! They said my warranty had expired (which is true) and so I have to pay a repair or exchange price of 65 quid, which isn't so bad considering they could have turned me down completely and not given anything to me at all.
Plus, they gave me an address to send those scratched games to be repaired or replaced, so that's been sorted as well.
I'm over the moon!
