Is your PS2 old, if not why don't you return it for a new one, but it could be the games, are the games scratched up?

This belongs in the PSOne & Playstaion 2 FAQ forum, but anyway, the reason could be that your CD lens has been worn out because of constant gaming, it's not your fault. What you should do is send your Playstation 2 back to Sony. If they can't fix it, they will send you a new one at no cost, provided of-course that you did not put in a mod-chip or some other kind of modification in your system.

LOL I can see you just nailing your PS2 in the side with a 2x4 or something...that would be funny.

I had a similar problem with my Nintendo 64 where the sound stopped working and eventually so did the picture. If u still have the receipt u can take it back to where u bought your PS2 and they should replace it with a brand new one. When my N64 broke, a guy at the store told me that things like that happen to systems when they are plugged and unplugged too much and too often. He said that it eventually cuts the connection of the wires inside the rubber tube stopping sound and picture. Hope that helps.

man i got my n64 when it came out and it still works perfectly i trashed it, i never cleaned anything on it i spilt drinks on it countless times... i think the 64 is the most durable long lasting console so far. i really dont like cds with the lasers always havin to be cleaned and breakin down...

I don't have the receipt or even the box that came with it... it's been around a year that I've had it I think.
Hmm I have yet to try a new PS2 game on it... I will rent one from blockbuster and see. I'm wondering if there's a safe way to clean the lens because from what I understand it seems pretty complicated and you need certain tools for it.. or i guess buying a cd lens cleaner is a wiser idea. =\ |

look at the vents at the back of your ps2, u have to clean them out so they dont get blocked up,
and is your ps2 upright or horizontal? that could be the problem!

Today I bought 2 brand new games: GTA3 Vice City and NBA Streets
I was hoping the new games wont freeze my system but it did the same exact thing. It freezes less than 5 mins into the game each and every time, I didn't even get to play 1 min of the ACTUAL game. |

hmmm...
Sony should not charge you for their faulty manufacturing. If you tell em you havent got a mod chip and havent used gameshark or action replay or havent subjected the ps2 to physical abuse, intense heat or used it for too long at one time
