Each DVD you play on a PS2 messes it up more and more. Is this true? My ex who worked at a gaming store claims it.
I want to know if I should stop and go VHS or a DVD player.

Have any of you heard similar tales or had the problem?
It sounds dumb to me because most games HAVE a DVD video in them, like when they play the movie sequences. :confused:

Thanks.

Never heard about this problem. Sure, if you put a DVD covered with dust and Coca Cola into your Ps2 this could cause some serious problem, but the Ps2 works just fine with DVDs.

Really? GOOD! Thanks Harry!! :happy:

I think your ex is talking about wearing out the hardware, she's just oversimplifying. The DVD lens burnout rumor was circulating around GameFAQs for a while, but it was disproved many times over. Your PS2 lens will last as long as any DVD player as long as you take care of it. A lot of people knock them off the table and wonder why it broke, just remember a DVD lazer is very precise, and if it is misaligned from shock, or even a cheap lens cleaner, it will have problems.

Which lens cleaners do you recommend us to use Damn Sniper?

[hijakedGTR]

try not to use cleaners at all, if you clean the discs regularly u should have no reason to have to clean the lens

1 - The PS2 has macrovision like all dvd players so of course it wont work through a VCR properley

2 - You must have been drunk when you posted...:roll:
