Either that or just pick up a DVD lens cleaner from someplace like Tower Records. They normally run around 20$ american.. I gave my PS2 the works for cleaning it a couple of days ago, blew dust out with canned air, cleaned the CDs with ALLSOP cloth wipes, got what little dust was on the top of it off (I'd been keeping it up pretty well) and ran a lens cleaner through.. I wasn't even having many problems (imo) with the system.. but after adjusting the pull on the wires and plugging it back in, it was an absolutely MASSIVE improvement! The colors were more vibrant (probably because I gave the wire going to the television more leeway so it could fit tightly into the slot) the load times seemed faster (don't know what caused this.. 'cept maybe cleaning out the dust?) and it made less noise (Especially the infamous Playstation2 formatted CDs.. the blue ones).

Don't mean to sound kinda preachy but I recommend everybody give thier system a good, thorough cleaning. It really does help.
