PS2 Disc weird problem

so i have a ps2 game "Rock Band: Track Pack Volume 1" for ps2 that act weirdly. i tried it yesterday and i couldnt make it work. i thought at first it was my ps2 so i tried another game, actually 7, and they all worked perfectly. so it must be my disc. hum maybe not. i have a PS3 60gb with BC so i pop it in and to my surprise it reads it no problemo. so i took apart my ps2, cleaned it but it wasnt that much dirty, the lense was very clean to my surprise. but i made to clean it anyway. retried it again and nope, doesnt work still. i bought this game off lukiegames so i contacted him, told him all this. he refunded it all right away as he didnt have any of it back in stock (normally he would send another one for freee, great guy btw!). i also asked him if he resurfaced all his disc before selling and he told me yes. so could it be the cause ? if yes, why would it read it in my ps3 but not in my ps2 ? that's a weird problem i've never seen before but that's also the first time i get a resurfaced game.

Not sure. i had that same issue with an Xbox 360 game about 3 years ago. Every other game worked on my system except this one game kept freezing on me at points. I took the game back and swapped it over about 3 times and the game did the exact same thing.

It worked for a few months before it started doing it and then the xbox decided that it didn't want to read that particular game anymore. I eventually upgraded my Xbox and havnt had the same problem with that game since, but man it was weird.

Somthing to check is what type of disc is it. CD or DVD, the back of the box will tell you. It used to be the case that cd's were purple but now they look the same. It is very common for the lasers in your drive to start dying/wearing out. The first sign of this normaly one of the types of discs will to stop playing/loading/crashing. This can be forever or on the odd occasion. It is normaly the cd's first though, but not all the time. A good test of your machine is GT4 it is a duel layered dvd and is one of the first games to stop loading. My advice is start looking for a replacment or you can get it fixed by (Shudder) unofficial hands.

Of ccourse I could have waffled for nothing, the cheap drive and cheap manafactured discs can be so random...

Sony products eh...

Hey the process can take forever and can be just every now and then. I used to work for in a video game store for over 5 years and IMO it is the the drives that are the real cause of death to the machine. Plus it can happen that your machine will just start having problems reading your DVD's first. I would just take a mental note and see if happens to older games in your collection you play them.

This was a common error with Rock Band 1 and 2 for the PS2.


Its to do with PS2's not being able to read the duel layered disc iirc.


Personally I'd just recommend getting RB3 for your PS3, That way you can get all those songs and more

you should be even worried about this project. it's more a bench test for charting purpose to defeat the "it's impossible to FC this song" idea. GH/RB will be there for a while still. i will =)
