Lance, the way the PS2s are manufactured, the DVD-Rom is always the first to go, I had the same prob with 3 PS2s (replaced every time) My normal CDs worked, DVDs didn't.
As far as I know, your PS2 has had it, the DVD lens needs replacing.

dude i have the same problem with my xbox right now. i tried watching 2 different DVDs on the piece of crap and they won't load. But then i try the soundtrack from Big Fish and it works perfectly....what a piece of crap these systems are. Oh and gamecube too because that POS doesn't even play dvds
At least Microsoft repair their X-box's for free, regardless of the age of the console as long as its a hardware fault and you haven't dropped it or anything. (Even if you have you don't tell them that), I've had my X-Box replaced several times due to CD-ROM and motherboard faliure. (The most painful and recent one is that my old HDD suffered INTERNAL PHYSICAL DAMAGE(Thats what they said but I know THEY broke it). I don't know how. lol.

In my oppinion all systems are designed poorly, the most robust one is the X-Box, the PS2 is the used car of the consoles and the GameCube is somewhere in between.

yeah...that might now work since i moded my xbox. Now i have a bigger harddrive and a different optical laser...but that shouldn't change anything. Oh well, i have like 5 dvd players at my house...i really don't need xbox's player. But i still thought i'd come here and ***** like a sissy girl. *shakes fist in air out of anger*
I wanna upgrade my HDD, I never thought of upgrading the optical laser.

i had to....i have a "1st generation" xbox. Which means it was in the 1st shipment sent out by microsoft. So it doesn't play new games like Medal of Honor or Project Gotham 2. No doubt it woulda screwed me on Halo 2 so i just replaced it for like $30 or something petty like that. i can't wait to finally buy a game other than Zelda for my gamecube...lets go Crystal Chronicles.
Have you heard the rumor that for Halo 2, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 to run at optimal standard you'll need to get the new X-Box (1.5 I think) because the current chipset apparently wont run it as well.

actually i haven't heard any rumor like that at all. To the best of my knowledge the xbox is ready and set to rock those 3 games. I'm 100% sure you won't need a new xbox to play Halo 2...but i dunno about the other 2 games. I really don't expect halo 2 to have phenominal graphics...just good ones. It's the gameplay that makes halo rule
Storm when you send it in ask to swop it out with a new one.I did this and they a brand new one and contoler and cords plus they fixed my old one and sent to me a contoler and cords.So I have two PS2s and three contolers.But I did send my PS2 in three times before I did this they say they need to try to fix it once before they can swop but you had your's sent to be fixed once so it should work.Hope you get to PS2s!
