this sucks!!! i was fixin to play GT3 and i went to put the game in the disk door and i didnt put it in all the way. i closed the disk door and it happend SNAP there gose gt3 broke in half! i think im going to CRY
...which will ruin this session for you, but GT3 is now a "Greatest Hits" title, meaning it is $19 in the US. So yeah, it's a setback, but not a killer.
I admit I've done that several times, but never broken a disc. My Yamaha CD player is very sensitive, and re-opens the tray at the first sign of trouble, but the PS2 just slams it on home.
2nd hand... yeah... those are usually.. *ahem* cheap*ahem*
but.... PS2.. i mean.. they should have like.. pressure sensative systems in the disc tray.... so that you don't destroy your discs.....
