Sounds like its on its last legs. Call Sony if its under warranty and get a replacement if you did nothing wrong to it.

Everybody's systems are coppin out on them lately.. on my floor, 2 xboxs and a ps2 are acting funny right now, haha.. it sucks.

Has it taken any recent drops or damage, Vampyr?

That's the only thing I can think of. I would advise you to go with Jonbo's advice and see if you're elligible for a replacement under your warranty.

I got mine fixed last summer. Sony has some great customer service, I got it fixed free of charge, and now it works wonderfully.

Under the 81 million tag, PS2 already has an astonishing software tie-in rate. If you're insinuating that the total number of owners is closer to, say, 60 million...that would make the tie-in ratio even more disgustingly amazing

I belive the situation is known as "win-win"

and I suggest you clean your PS2, Vamp. find a website offering a tutorial on cleaning the system and do it at home. what kyuzo said, changing that little gear to make the lens closer to the disc, that can work too. First, I would try contacting Sony like Joeiss did.

Working in Gamestop and seeing the returns that I see I wouldn't be surprised if 1/4 of those numbers are replacement unit sales. There's no denying the fact that the PS2 is the shoddiest piece of video game hardware this generation (second goes to Pelican accessories) when you see the shear number of PS2's that are returned.

For every 100 PS2's I get back in for being defective I get maybe 20 Xbox's and 5 Gamecubes. That's not a fanyboy's opinion or rant. It's simply my experience working in a game retailing environment.

On a positive note, I've only seen one PS2 - Two come back in since it was sold.
