Squeek that's BS and you know it. Especially after a class action suit against them, there weren't THAT many rebuys because of that breaking problem.

PS: I've owned 3 PS2s, but we always get a warranty on any Best Buy purchases (except like, DVDs and games), so we've actually made money because of PS2s breaking after price breaks. =)

EDIT rather than overpost: Benny, there's a problem with the laser. They get offset overtime just from normal wear and tear. They get calibrated wrong because of this and stop being able to read certain kinds of games. Both the PS2s I had with the Disc Read Error problem stopped being able to read purple and black bottom discs (most are yellow, but some PS2 games have purple bottoms and PS1 games are black). The problem slowly got worse and we asked Best Buy to fix it cuz it was under warranty and they said it was a common problem. It was such a common problem that there was a big suit and Sony lost. If your PS2 has this specific error, you can call up Sony and make them fix it free of charge. It's a really simple thing to fix if you know how, but most people don't wanna void their warranty so they just send it in or ignore the problem.
