It will only read games and disk half of the time.. if it doesnt work i got to putthe game in a couple of times to get it to work.

If it dies completely i might trade it in at eb at get $50 towards a new one?

OR is there a place to get it fixed?

If you're getting the dreaded "Disc Read Error" (DRE) messages, then yeah, as DietGarfield said. Call up Sony, tell them your problem, and they'll fix it for free (besides shipping) as long as you haven't voided your warranty by opening the PS2 up (i.e. modchip, fix the DRE yourself, etc). From stores I've read, SCEA might end up sending you a refurbished one if they don't fix your current one properly.

I had this problem for awhile, don't know what I did but it stopped all of a sudden Confused

Hope you can get it fixed though, they shouldn't cause you too big a problem with fixing it, just swear to unleash all hell upon them Surprised

Good luck with your PS2-fix endeavor, mir_wan! If you do indeed trade it in at EBGames, would you want to put that credit towards the slimmed-down PStwo? I hear the stores are running out of the old-style PS2s and making room for the PStwo shipments coming soon.

I think I'm really close to getting DREs, since playing DVD movies are almost out of the question with my system. I've gotten close a few times as well, but I catch it before the system starts messing with me. I have to really be careful right now, because I don't have the time or money to either have it sent into Sony or to get a new one through trade-in in case my PS2 goes bust. Confused

(In an unrelated note, this looks to be the first new post here for today, 10/13.)
