"The dreaded "Disc Read Error"..."

...has finally started to show its ugly face. :(

Happened on a few different games now and its time i started to worry. I cant really afford a new PS2 or to get it fixed should it need it. So my Pro Evo days may be numbered...

Its not so bad as i dont play the PS2 so often anymore...but it soon could be the end of a era.

Just a shame the games arent to my taste, otherwise i would.

The laser went on mine in June. Either pay about £120 to replace it, or £80 to replace the laser. I went for the new PS2.

Although a GC at £35, as has already been suggested, is well worth it. :-)

I'm on my first.

Mine laser went, on pretty much the anniversary 3rd year. Haven't bothered getting a new PS2. It's just not worth it.

I'm on my second since launch.

Yes, buy a Gamecube. I've never had any problems in the two and a half years I've had mine.

I'm now on my third PS2. They're a bit crap really.

This is pathetic.

By a machine that isn't made from shoddy crap.

Blimey, I thought having two broken PS2's under my belt was a lot.

What is the name of your lense cleanifier? (i.e. brand). I'm thinking of getting one as PS2 number 3 is about to kick the bucket, but I'm never sure whether to get a DVD lens cleaner or a CD lens cleaner.

Gamecube - £35 :)
