PS2 Problems
Ive had my ps2 for nearly 2 years now and its been working fine. But I just took a cd out and its had a perfect circular scratch on it. Ive heard that when this starts your ps2 is getting knackered.
Does anyone know if I should get a new ps2 or is there anyway to repair my current one?

Re: PS2 Problems
Send it in for repairs.
They will ask you if its in warranty still. Lie and say yes. They will tell you will need a recipt. Lie and say you have one.
In the end they won't check, and you will get a replacement free.
Even if they get funny with you, they will always repair (means sending you a refurb replacement) for £50 if my memory serves me right.

Re: PS2 Problems

Re: PS2 Problems
You could buy a new one and that game then a few days later take the old ones back and say that your PS2 had wrecked the game and just ask for your money back.

Re: PS2 Problems
I see. But I might get more problems....
As the PS2 has just gone down in price to £105 i might get a new one. I could start getting the disc read errors soon.

Re: PS2 Problems
Ive been reading around on other forums and ive found out that alot of ps2's with Disc read errors are sold on ebay and i dont want to trade a ps2 with a problem for a ps2 with a problem. I dont win
If I did buy a new one I could get another decent controller. As well as a game or two
Cheers for the help guys I will think about what to do.

They won't... One thing I learned in the helpdesk is that they only ask for a receipt to scare customers into not lying about their waranty. In the end they don't check, because they just check it in, toss it away with all the other crap you sent in the box, and send a new one. Atleast that's what they do with camera's here. They might try to repair a PS2, but I doubt they will check the receipt.

Re: PS2 Problems
Its actually a known fault with all early PS2's and will be fixed even if its out of warranty.
