Every ps2 system I have touched has had problems reading games. I got a brand new ps2 and it was already having trouble with games and dvd playback. Then the tray gears got stripped somehow and it refused to give me my metal gear disk back. Had to take it in to get the disk removed and trade the system in for a new one which also has dirty disk problems and is putting out a lot more heat than my xbox ever has. So far in the st. louis area of the country, people I know are having more trouble with the ps2. Though neither the ps2 or xbox fares nearly as well as GC. never heard of one of those with a problem.
