I got a used PS2 fat from Gamestop recently and noticed a few
quirks with it: When I try to boot up a disc, I used to be able to insert a disc and press the reset button and it would boot automatically (my old system). With this one, it always goes into the browser/system config menu, and I have to navigate the browser to load up the game. And then, last night I bought a few new games: Rockband AC/DC, Guilty Gear X, and Smackdown vs Raw 2007. GGX and Smackdown both loaded ok, but then they both hang when they're loading up the actual fight. I can create characters in SvR but that's about it. Rockband ACDC works great -- no issues there, and there don't seem to be issues with my other games. Could this be the discs or the system? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! |

Sounds like the system's starting to have laser issues. Bring it back and pay the extra $10 to get the slim model.

Kinda off topic but way back when the PS2 was introduced, I remember hearing alot of complaints of the PS2 (fat models) crapping out quite often. My PS2 slim however, never once failed me and spilt soda on it once and chucked my controller at it often and it still worked like a champ. I really regret selling it to help fund my PS3.

Unfortunately I'm past the bring-back date for the system. I instead brought back the 2 games that didn't work and got Smackdown vs Raw 2006 and Rock Band (original). Both work, so I'm real happy about that.

The only trouble i had out of my PS2 was it wouldn't read the disc with the black on the bottom.

How far beyond the return are you? If you're gamestop is run by a decent bunch they'll take care of you.

I got my playstation 2 over 8 years ago. Still works great. Never had a problem with it. In fact my 60gb ps3 crapped out on me after 3 years. Now I got the 160 slim model. Had it about 6 months. Hopefully I get more than 3 years out of it.

I'm about 2 months past the return date; and since it's actually really working I don't mind right now.
I think I also found a workaround for the auto loading thing... really the most annoying part was that I couldn't navigate the browser with my guitar controller. But now when it goes to the Browser / Sys Config screen I wait a sec and then press the green button on the guitar and move the activator up, and it "auto loads" from there. Don't know why yet, but it seems to work across all my guitar games. |

the ps2 my kids had started doing that.instead of buying them another ps2,we just upgraded them to a ps3.i would never recommend buying a game system used. my oldest son already had a ps3 n i liked it so i traded a tanker some joes for his ps3 and the bluray drive went out. so my wife bought me a new one so i repaced the bluray drive in the other one and gave it to my lil kids. i normally only buy something used if its from someone i know cuz you never know what your gona get. the game stores have ways of making their items look to work perfect there but sometimes when you get home its a whole new ball game.
