Do I need a new PS2?

[A Necessary Evil]

I lucked out, and got the PS3 without BW/C so, I had to keep my PS2.

I can play silver-lined discs, but whenever I pop in a bnlue disc (ala Lego SW) I get disc read error. Do I need a new one?

Since your PS2 is probably really old and you won't mind voiding the warranty, just open it up and clean the lens inside. It is extremely simple. I did it just before I sold my PS2 for a 360 (and because I kept getting disc read errors), and I was a little pissed because it made it work so much better.

If that doesn't fix it, then yeah you need a new one.

Wasn't some japanese tech company creating some kind of converter thing for the ps3 so we could play PS2 games? ....whatever happened to that?

Yeah, cleaning the lense revives what would otherwise be a dead system. Though a pro of using homebrewed stuff for me is that the laser isn't used anymore at all.
