Welcome to the land of broken PS2s. Join us, brother.
Please set your PS2 (whose sould has gone to a better place) on the pile and purchase a new PS2. You wouldn\'t want to miss all of the great games, would you? All your friends have bought their second PS2s, why don\'t you? Everyone is doing it, brother.
Seriously, get a real DVD player, playing DVDs on a PS2 is like asking Sony to press the button to specifically permanently malfunction your PS2 (you know they have that power!).
