My stupid PS2 has gone crappy :-((
For the past 6 months its been giving me grief ! :-(
Basically, it doesn't like those cheapo purple discs. It refuses to load them unless I put the PS2 vertical. This of course gradually scratches the hell outta my games. :-(
Never had any problems with a clear disc though - till tonight. I watched Fast and the Furious and got all in the mood to play GT3. I put the disc in, it didn't load. Swearing under my breath I turned the stupid machine vertical, still nothing ! It just won't load my GT3 !!!
I took the disc out and inspected it - not a scratch on it. As a test I put in Ace Combat 4 and it loaded no problem !! Typical !!! Millions of PS2's in circulation and I get the fussy spoilt brat that only loads certain games when it feels like it !
I've been told to take it back and stuff of course but this will no doubt result in me having to contact Sony and 1. This will result in me having no console to play on for god knows how long and 2. I won't be a happy bunny if they bill me for it either !
I bought it at SR in Basildon around June last year on my mates credit card. It was that pay so much on the day then pay the rest later deal. Just dunno what to do, wouldn't it be so much simpler if I could take it back to SR rather than send it all the way to Sony ??
Had enough trouble with the PS1 before when it first came out, don't need it all again with the PS2 as well. :-(
Please help SR !!! :-((

You'd like to think so wouldn't you. But I can't argue with what I was told. You should see the state of my Extreme G 3 disc. Its covered in scratches, you'd think I'd thrown it too a dog playing catch or something. I had that game in my machine like 4 times for it to get that bad too ! Now its just in limbo. Too knackered to enjoy playing it when the music jumps and stuff and too damaged to trade in for any price.
Hmmmm, yeah that is a bit stupid.
Surely a company that is so techically advanced in producing DVD Players, TVs Hi-fi's etc woudnt produce somthing as dodgy as that?

> I do keep mine vertical all the time. So keeping it horizontal can be bad?
I've just had people in shops and stuff tell me that standing the PS2 up can cause it to scratch your game discs.
Think thats a bit out of order really when its something thats supposed to be an option to do.

I always seem to get Sony machines that have a bad case of PMT !!! :-(
Never wants to load the games "I" wanna play, selfish bitchy console.

Kick it.
Just kick it man.

That sucks man. I have to say, I've never had a problem with my machine.
