My PS2 does the same thing...It started out being picky with the blue (CD-ROM) games, but worked fine with DVD-ROM games. Then I wouldn't read anything. The other day I bought a can of compressed air as a last resort, and it worked...sort of. Now I'm back to it reading only DVD-ROM games. Which is not bad, but now it freezes during play, or takes a millenium to load. If I send it in, will they just clean the laser and send it back? Or will they replace the damaged/faulty parts? It's going to cost me about $300 Canadian to do this, so I want to be sure. Tack that $300 on to the $500 I paid for it in the first place, you're talking $800 bucks for a piece of shiz that may break down again. Needless to say I am extremely pissed off, to say the least. If anyone has any other home remedies or tricks they've learned, pleez let me know...
