"tech opinions needed for PS2 problem"
, posted Tue 16 Apr 15:24
Since this board has a fairly knowledgeable bunch of members, I would like your opinion on a problem I've just experienced with my PS2.
I had gotten my PS2 at launch, and it's worked just fine up this one incident.
My girlfriend rented FFX for me since I hadn't had the time/money to grab it yet, and I've played through the first 5 hours or so. After losing the Blitzball tournament in overtime ($@##$@*$&$! did get a lot of exp though).
My game consistently skips during the FMV before Auron fights a large lizard and then skips indefinitely while Seymour calls forth that huge and ugly creature-from-the-plant-lagoon monster. This has happened five times.
I'm inclined to think that the problem is the game disc, because there are a few circular white marks on the bottom of the disc that refuse to clean off. I don't own a disc doctor.
I still worry that my PS2 could be having some problems, because I'm still haunted by the memory of my original PS dying of skippinson's disease while I was trying to play the second half of Chrono Cross.
So what do you guys think?

If this doesnt happen with other games, and only at that specific part, it must be the disk. Not surprising since rental games are used as dog freesbies (mistreated.)

You gotta be careful with first gens. There's almost always something wrong with them.I think the ps2's was a overheating problem.

It's probably a disc issue. Just take it back and point out the problem to the rental place. Hopefully they'll either refund you or let you rent another copy.
