1. The blue ones are CDs the silver ones are DVDs.
2. I would send it to SONY, if you write a letter with it and tell them how sad you are, they may be fix it for less... how old is your PS2 ? You have a warranty !

Try a CD/DVD lense cleaner.

Careful though; it could possibly damage the lense.

I had  a similar problem a few months ago, used a cleaner (cost me $14 CDN) and have had 0 problems since. Good Luck...

I\'m on my second and in need of a third.  The first one was screwed from early on, the second one just wouldn\'t play certain DVD\'s at all.  The other day once I finally had the marvel that is ICO in hand I was itchin\' to play and so I put the thing in, sat back and waited...

...and waited...

...and waited...

I was understandably pissed when it kicked up the Disc Read Error message.  I was very pissed.  I stood the thing on end, blew into the front and back vents with a can of compressed air, set it back down on the table, then smacked it hard.

It started playing ICO and I\'ve had other games in since.  Mine\'s still under warranty so I knew that if I hit it too hard and screwed it up but good I could still get it replaced, bought the ext. warranty at Best Buy.

In other words, since yours is out of warranty I don\'t exactly recommend this, it could make things worse.  But it did work for me, though I have no idea why.  I wonder if something wasn\'t partially obstructing something else and by hitting it I dislodged it, who knows?

Last resort measures anyway...
