Ive gotten one on my madden game..I think its dues to playing the ps2 horizantaly. It never had the scratch when I had it vertical. I just went from vertical to horizantal 2weeks ago.
Any thoughts or similar experiances?
-
WHY did you go Vertical! The PS2 is known to have problems with it in the Vertical position and that was one of them. Mine is horizintal and I have never had a problem and it is a Launch PS2 also....no probs so far Knock on wood!

This tends to happen to a lot of people. Mainly because the Ps2 gets bumped, dropped, hit or kicked. Ive had my Ps2 vertical for some time now and there is not any circlular scratches on my games at all.

actually thats just it..it was fine vertically...and when I put it horizantal is when the game got scratched.

Back to my post. If you move it, bump it, hit it, kick it, drop kick it, or pile drive it while the disc is in the drive. Its gonna scratch. ;)
Be careful.

Well you did move it when the disc was in the drive, so Im guessing thats where the problem occured.

I repeat, that never happens.
Never has been dropped,jarred,bumped, or moved while the power was on.
It only seems to be my madden 2k1 disc that it has happend to. I have 2 other friends that this same thing has happend to while the ps2 was horizantal.
-
Well then, looks like theres no reason for the scratches. :rolleyes:
-
I got one with my none working reconditioned PS2 Sony sent me. This is the reason I can\'t play my Christmas games, I don\'t want to get them scratched.

this happend to my old ps2, all my dvd games had scratches( very light) but it ate my gt3 up, really bad, at first i thought i had knocked something over in my room, but it was my cd getting scratched!!!!! i took gt3 back and got a new one, also i got a new ps2 as i didnt want it to happen to any of my other games. it would make a noise and i could only start the game up if i went to browser and then pic the cd.
if you ring sony up they will replace it, but you may get a dodgy one ( like i did) but you will eventually get one that works, also if you tell them what happend to your game they give you a adress, you send the game there, they send you a new one back

thanx for the info kopking!
-
thats ok mate
-
I always wonder in what kinda environment ppl
have their PS2 after hearing so many stories of
knocked down, bumped and hit PS2\'s ... :rolleyes:
Anyway, I have mine safely vertical ( without the
vertical stand ) and no problems.

Never leave the disk in the tray when you turn off the PS2. When the PS2 powers up, the laser read head moves into the space where the disk sits, and if there\'s a disk there, it could create a scratch. I heard this explanation from someone else on this forum and it makes sense to me. I got a scratch on one of my disks, and my PS2 is always kept very stationary, so this is really the only explanation for my situation.
-
Also never move the PS2\'s position when there is a game in the tray. It can get disalligned and when you start it up will spin on the edges thus creating a scratch.

well luckee, coredweller and Vapor Snake has your answer and i have tested it and proved it at my home. I was tired of hearing this from people that PS2 makes circular scratches on the data surface of CD\'s and DVD\'s. Reality is that PS2 makes that ONLY if you leave your CD/DVD in your PS2 and then turn the system completely off and then on. I have tried this with my boring Summer underground DVD and bingo it\'s there. Remember to put your PS2 in stand by mode if you leave for a break and also want to leave your CD/DVD in your PS2 and take it out when shutting it off. Horizontal or Vertical there is no problem with my PS2, by the way i\'m using mine vertically and also horizontally, it depends on space you know. Oh yeah i rented Jak and Daxter from blockbuster yesterday and guess what it has those nasty circular scratches on it LOL.

Dont know what truth is to that joespha, but it certainly cant hurt doing that. Usually I do just turn it off unless I plan on playing anywhere within the next 30minutes, then I just do the stand-by thing.

Its a fault in the hardware if the PS2 scatches CDs / DVDs on powerdown of the console or if you leave discs inside the machine. This may be the problem and by avoiding these habbits you may save yourself some scratched discs but the machine shouldn\'t do this in the first place. Therefore if your PS2 is scratching discs you may want to look into using your warrentee.
