Have you had any problems with it thus far? I have been hearing that the first shipments of PS2\'s in the U.S are mostly defective. I have a launch PS2, and I have yet to have any problems.

What kind of problems have you been hearing about, mostly? And is it just the launch PS2\'s, or is it all units in general?

Every once in awhile a DVD will be unreadable, but changing its position can always fix it....

yes it does, i mean when it vibrates really bad, and makes loud noises, cause the disk inside to get big round circular scratches on it, thats what i meant.

Oh.. I have never had anything like that happen to me, so I guess i\'m in good shape. I know it is a small problem, but my game discs appear to get dirt slashes-not scratches, across the surface of the data side. Is this common just by playing the game frequently? I\'m afraid to clean the disc, because i always end up scratching them that way. Any suggestions?

Mine sucked.  Had problems with DVDs, then PS1 games, then PS2 games.  Sent it off twice.  had to put up with Sony and their bullsh!t.  Finally got it back and seems to work ok now.

Nary a problem, it was the same with my PSX.  I had a PSX since launch and I never had a problem, yet so many people said "oh, mine overheated, mine this, mine that, blah blah blah."

I still have my PSX that I got on launch day 6 years ago, and it works fine.  This PS2 problem is just like the PSX problem -- it only happens to some people.

Hmm, I guess I\'m one of the fortunate ones. Only once did it tell me it was unable to read disc, and that was w/Interview with the Vampire. Opened the tray, stuck it back in, and it worked. As far as problems with games or anything of the like, it\'s been fine.

I\'ve had mine since Oct.26 and........
Nada....haven\'t had one single problem, it even plays the multi-region version of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon DVD flawlessly.....It seems to me like the newer PS2\'s are the ones having all the problems.....especially with DVD playback
