Fix your PS2's DISC READ ERRORS for free!

[Xskaterjake]

This doesn't involve any pulling apart. First, go to www.playstation.com, and get the number. They will give you the address so you can send in your Ps2 and they will fix all of the DISC READ ERRORS forever in 15-20 buissness days! But why free? Well sources say that there was a class-action lawsuit, and Sony, instead of recalling(which means chapter 11 ), they will fix it.

Yeah Sony's been doing this for quite a while. I've sent a couple to them.

[Videogamerdaryll]

Yes..I've sent them several and they fixed them for free..My shipping time + repair was less though..

Two of the systems were opened and they fixed them..

but..

NOTE:

They will NO longer fix your system if the SEAL is broken,(opened system) Tampered with..
They want$103.00 for the repair now..

So let me get this straight ... I just had someone give me for free a PS2 that won't read discs anymore for parts. I haven't cracked the seal on it yet. You're telling me I can mail that back to Sony and they'll fix it for free?

In my area, you can take it to one of the local game stores, where I will fix the DRE (usually for $40-50CDN), warranty it, and you will have it back in 48 hours, business day or no.

It's VERY fast, but it's not free.

Buy issue #185 of Gamepro it is the new issue. It has a section just to fixing your ps2. It tells you everything.
