My friend gave me his copy of GoW the other day and I'm pretty certain he bought it the day it came out. It doesn't play on my PS2. Once the tray closes it jut sets there for minutes on end and never brings up the game. If you click on the game CD icon in the browser it will set there a few more and then.. sometimes comes up with a "disc read error" (not always). The thing is.. it played on his PS2 just fine.. and it is the ONLY game (out of about 60 I have) that won't play on mine! The disc is flawless.. played a half dozen times by him.. tops.
Sooo.. my question is.. I seem to remember something in the distant past about the initial release being "buggy" as far as compatibility went. Anyone else remember this? I could be just imagining it though.
