text: my little brother's ps2 isn't working properly, can anybody help me? my brother's ps2 isn't working properly. every time we put in a disc, it says "disc read error", even if it's a new game. we tried cleaning the disc's and blowing the dust out in the back of the game system. my little brother is driving me and my mom crazy with this. any suggestions would be nice. and please help me keep any sanity that i have left!! go get a hammer.  take the thing outside.  lay it on the concrete driveway or sidewalk.  take the hammer and smash the thing into oblivion.  that will most definitely take care of the problem.
