What I would suggest now is that you put your Playstation2 vertical than horizontal. Just buy a Vertical Stand. Trust me its much much better. There was a reason why Sony made Ps2 vertical stand optional. The lens read the DVD games and movies better this way.
If you experience a skip or certain errors in your normal DVD player, just make it vertical and the problem wouldn't occur again. Just like that Ps2 wouldn't have any problem at all if put vertically (For a longer period of time atleast)
Apart from that, if you put your Ps2 vertically, all the dust that goes inside sits down, and as you can see the lense and where the CD trey is, would be on the top. Like that you Ps2 would get less dust on its lens.
I always suggest people using the Vertical Stand. Its much better. And trust me nothing happens to it if you put it back on Horizontally, but Vertical is just better.
