| PS3owner said: People also need to remember that the PS2 sold over 120mil due to consoles breaking. I was playing my PS2 the other day and 25% of my games work for it and it won't play DVD's anymore. If i didn't have a PS3 i would go out and but another PS2. $130 to $700 its just insane for any normal person to buy a PS3 until it comes down another $200. if i never got mine for $200 under retail i wouldn't own one. There's only about 70mil PS2 owners in the world. and half of the american ones will buy a Xbox, I don't expect PS3 to ever sell over 40mil. |
Hmm... sounds like the problem I had with my original PS2, which I took to the shop to fix twice. Mine was bought before it was officially launched where I live, so it wasn't covered by Sony's warranty, but the shop where I bought mine from did address the issue.
Basically, it should only be the laser head that is causing the problem. This seems to be the most common problem with PS2s, both original and slimline.
These laser heads should cost around 30 bucks or so, and you can repair it yourself (tons of guides online if you google it) or find an import/modchip game shop nearby and they should be able to repair it.
