I a God of War 2 disk that is alittle warped. The disk in perfect condition (minus the warp) and will not play in my PS2. Now I have tried it in my PS3 and it work fine. Now It isn't badly warped, but when you put it on a table it is noticable. Can the ps2 play warped disks? Is there a safe way to unwarp a disk?
The disk was put in an un-airconditioned storage unit for 2 months in the summer. It's not my fault mind you, my wife stuck it in a random box.
Thanks for the help.

As far as I know I Dont think it is possible to unwarp a disk.

If it is only a slight warp maybe try setting the disc on a table and setting an extremely large book on it for a couple days. It might just be enough. or if you have a vice grip find something flat safe and sturdy to put on each side of the disc and tighten up the vice and leave it for a day or so.
But if you have a ps3 that it plays on, why worry about it working on a ps2?

Rent the game and return the warped disc, lol. Kidding, that's bad.

I would say if you had some heat and a heavy item, like a book, as rustblackend said, it could help. Just be careful and make sure you don't do more damage than is already done.

@ rustblackend
well as a collector I would like it to work in all the systems that it is meant to work on.
well I might try to book thing, it's just frustrating that it looks perfect, but wont play.

Be careful playing warped disks. You have to realize that when a disk is being read, it spins at some serious RPMs. If it gets off balance at all, the thing could shatter inside your disk drive.

Pictures if/when it happens!! :)

Find a device that gets warm when used(like a range or something), place the disc on it underneath a heavy book or object, and leave it there for a little while. That should help. Just keep an eye on it so you don't burn the house down.

Iron it.
Seriously though, it's polycarbonate so it'll probably take a good amount of heat before you're able to smash it back into shape.
