"Problems with PS2."

Just put on my PS2 (slimline) and it doesn't seem to be able to read any discs. I tried ALL my games, and some DVD's, but all I get is that browser screen where you go to manage your memory card. It was working perfectly well this morning so I have no idea what's wrong with it, so has anyone else had this bother?

why have you done that? With some changes.

They are silly comments. You know the PS2 rules now and PS3 will rule once again. It's almost a fact. Sega was bankrupt because people were buying the PSone more than the Dreamcast and Nintendo stopped making N64 games as they were losing the battle with Sony. FACT. And Sega will never make another console...Nintendo sold the least when competing with Sony and Microsoft. At one point Microsoft were losing money on every console sold. Sony, however made record profits. Yes, they have lost some in the process, but the PS2 has been around ages and is still more popular than its competition.

I have had that once, only the person, ''Errin'' written back saying: 'Make sure your PS2 console lights up when the electric is turned on'

Load of rubbish if you ask me.

:D Copy and pastage?

I bet you a hazelnut you get an email back that is abhorrently useless. The same thing happened to me and I sent an email to Sony detailing my disc read error woes and I got a Troubleshooting FAQ sent back to me by "Jerry". The No.1 recommendation was "Make sure the Playstation 2® console is plugged in."


...

Slightly cheeky e-mail on it's way to Sony.

I'm hoping it's still under warranty, I've only had it 8 months. Anyway I'm gonna try the store I bought it from first, to see if they'll replace it, or maybe even give us a refund because I can live without a PS2 to be honest. But failing that I'll try Sony, but I ain't giving them a single penny.

I've said it many times though.

And each time I touched this very table.

And it still hasn't broken.

And of course this superstition has everything to do with it breaking, but day on day I wonder whether it'll work.

For now I'm fine with it.

Heh, it's going to break now.

My PS2...

*slams hand onto table*

...still hasn't had a single problem, 5 years on.
