That could make things a little more difficult.

Plus there's a chip in it.

thats why its important for a walmart to be around,

its called the Walmart Swap

walmart will replace your ps2 for a new one, just say you bought it from them, and that you lost the reciept, but you want to exchange it for a new one, works very well, my first ps2 died, so i swapped it at walmart with the chip inside, and got a new one (at the time it was new, around 2 yrs ago, or maybe last year?) and got a new modchip and installed it.

but walmart swap is useful

My brother opened up the PS2 like the link suggested, cleaned the laser very thoroughly and lubed up the sides to allow the laser to move easily with a silicone based lube.

Didn't help

Going to take it to a store on monday to see if they can't find the problem...

My Birthday was ruined because of this shit... Is there a possibility that it could have been the chip?

Cheap ass PS2s. They always break. You never hear a story about a broken Xbox.

That's why I have both

Xbox games are just harder to "back up" and too damn expensive!

I got that PS2 in 2002, got 2 games in the 3 years I've had it... Since getting my chip, I got 10 games in 5 days
