Title: ok im sure youve all heard this before but my ps2 broke and i dont know what to do.
Post by: Luke on October 10, 2001, 10:29:05 AM: everytime i try to play anything in it, madden, gran turismo, a dvd movie, it always says "disc read error"

i tried emailing sony but they just tell me to run diagnostics or get all the dust out of it.

i did both to no avail.

so what should i do next?

do i need to just buy a new one?

help a brotha out here!?

I would send it to SONY. Write a letter and let them know that you are very disapointed about the errors, may be they fix it for less then...

and my ps2 recently broke...and youve guessed it they picked mine up....after 5 mins of playing the new one it blew up:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

If you\'re not still under warranty then do the Wal-Mart switcheroo.

You could pay to have your PS2 repaired, but the DVD player is not worth $hit. I had mine sent in twice and it\'s beginning to mess up again.

not a bad idea at all.

Post by: IronFist on October 10, 2001, 05:46:47 PM: Like others have said, if it\'s still under warranty, send it into Sony and get it fixed for free. If it\'s not, take it to Walmart (or a store like Walmart) and say you got it as a present and it doesn\'t work. Ask if you can get it replaced. Most stores replace it without question if you say that.
