^Hopefully you have the slim version because the old version is out of production and not much in stock since x-mas just passed. I'm sure you can go to circuit city, buy a slim one if that's the version you have, take out the serial number, it's a sticker and switch it w/ your old one. I just returned mine my lady bought me. I opened the box and tore the seal and a piece of cardboard ripped. I read the reciept and it says if you opened it then you can only get store credit. So when I went to return it, they asked if it has been opened, my lady said "NO" and it was clearly opened due to the seal and piece of cardboard missing lol. They looked at the ps2 funny and took all the parts out and checked the serial number and gave me a refund! haha. If you go to circuit city to buy it, don't rip up the seal. Carefully open the package, switch the ps2's and carefully put the seal back to normal. Don't forget to switch the serial numbers, I'm sure they're stickers but I can't remember. Good luck, and if you have the can't read error it's most likely the lens is dirty, take a q-tip, dip it in rubbing alcohol, not too much if it's damp, use tp to squeeze it out the q tip. The point is just to moisten the q tip and CAREFULLY rub the lens and only the lens. That should take care of the disk error read shit.
