Mr Nutgone bought the new God of War at the weekend and kept getting 'disc read error' message, although he did manage to play it for a bit. Since then we've had trouble with all our other games loading - something that's never happened before. Our console isn't the newer one and we've had no probs ever with it. Is this a coincidence? I can't understand how a disc could make a difference? Any help would be HUGEly appreciated!!

get a cd lens cleaner.

We'd thought of that, thanks!, but would it have had anything to do with the new CD? That's what has us baffled! Seems like too much of a coincidence, but also seems impossible...?
i dont think the disc would cause any damage unless the disc was not placed inside the console correctly and accidentally scratched the lens.

I would get a lens cleaner and/or one of those keyboard air canisters which spray high pressure air to clean the console. Alternternatively, depending on the age of the machine, I would get it replaced. Pointless getting it repaired when you can get a new one for �70

I think we'll try that - give it a good clean and see how it goes. Kill or cure!!

Thanks!
you can also try putting your ps2 in different positions !
my old ps1 ended up only playing games when turned upside down ! i guess it has something to do with distance from disc surface to laser.
