PS2/can’t read disc

Does anyone have any idea why our ps2 just stopped reading the disc’s? We have to fight with it to even read the disc to watch a movie. Is it just on it’s last leg? Can’t afford the ps3 yet so should we just get another ps2?

- Ah, the dreaded DRE. For the PS2, it’s like the Xbox’s Red Ring of Death. Sometimes it starts with one kind of disc, and allows you to read others, like it stops reading PS1, but plays PS2 fine, or vice versa. Inevitably, it will end up not reading anything. It’s a matter of when, not if. This is a well known problem with them, however, and Sony has been really good about it, even out of warranty for a lot of people (including me). First, call them up and go through the troubleshooting steps the tech takes you through. It’s possible that you will be offered a free repair (not including shipping it to them). At the very least, they will quote you a repair cost. In some cases, though, it’s cheaper to buy a used replacement or a PS2 slim, which supposedly doesn’t suffer from that problem. In any case, don’t assume they won’t help you out. It’s definitely worth calling Sony support before dropping the cash on a new one.
