Funny...except my system has never touched a carpet...

I got my PS2 to load the MGS2 demo today!!!  What a joy...I only had to restart the damn system like 40 times to get it working!  But, unfortunately, after a great amount of time was spent on the game I decided I wanted to play a different game, naturally...And it wouldn\'t load it up.  Can\'t get it working again.  What I really am mainly confused about is why my system still reads music CDs perfectly.  It reads the DVDs fine, game and movie, but when it comes playing CD based games, PS1 or PS2, it just won\'t even detect them.  As in, the disc won\'t even spin...Anyone got an answer to that, the customer service on the phone for Sony didn\'t know why.  He just told me it was "Clearly a hardware problem."  Duh!

Oh, I\'ve also tried my system in both the vertical and horizontal positions and there\'s no difference.  I didn\'t think there would be anyway.

Umm,

I got it, and I backed you up

Buy a new system bring it home put the garbage one in the box take it back and tell them it don\'t work and you decided to wait for a GC or and XBox instead

get your money back

Walmarts are very good for this

Glad someone did. :) Also glad to know someone else saves their money as well. To hell with Sony (or any other company) that thinks I\'m going to pay for repair charges when their equipment becomes faulty sooner than expected.

Hey, on my PS2, since it won\'t be repaired for a little while I have been just messing around and experimenting with it.  I found that I can get it to read the game CDs that it won\'t after only like 5-6 resets if I have the controllers unplugged from the system.  I find that if they\'re plugged in for some reason it takes like 30-40 times to get it to work.  This has worked about 75% of the time I\'ve done this now.  Except it\'s gradually getting worse...I mean with the controllers unplugged it first was like 3-4 times, then 4-5, then 5-6, not it should be 6-7 I\'d assume...

Don\'t ask me why it works, it just does...And in case your wondering, my controllers are \'official\' Sony brand so it\'s not like the gameshark is screwin with my system or something...

I would not count on that swap trick Datamage.  I used it a good 3-4 times on my PS1 but now the serial #s are tracked.  If you still have your PS2 box take a look at the bottom of it and you\'ll see a rectangular hole cut so that someone can see the serial # on a unit without opening the box.

These serial #s are supposed to be tracked on all returns to all stores as according to Sony.  Some places are bound to be more lax than others and you would think that one place like this is Wal-Mart but it isn\'t.  Wal-Mart checks serial #s.

Emperor,

Where there\'s a will, there\'s a way. :)

If you can do some decent acting, you can do any return. The customer is always right. *cough*

My PS2 is so pampered its silly. All these storys of breaking down is sad. That is why I let no one play on mine. Except my brother thats cause he knows what he is doing.
