PS2 Help

You could always try the old xbox. Never had a single problem with mine, and they're easy to mod.

It's also very useful for someone who wants to play his PS2 games.

Haha, yeah. But if some of his games don't work, buying an xbox will almost certainly be cheaper than buying a new PS2 or fixing his current one, and you can mod the xbox to play pirated backed-up games.
 
Edit:
A 30-second check on Google shooping shows that a used xbox is as cheap as 15$, whereas a PS2 is about 100$

That's great, but we're not on about getting an xbox. I personally wouldn't want one, but that's not relevant. Now it's about the kid wanting to play PS2 games.

Also, the only problem I ever had with PS2 was parents not putting the disc in properly. But apart from that, no problem.
How people handle the console (or disc) also makes a difference, since there are some cases where people don't handle their stuff as they are supposed to, so to say.

I have an old Xbox, but there are exclusives on PS2 such as Gran Turismo 4.

Yeah... Pretty sure you can't play Gran Turismo on an Xbox...

And TRB's "facts" are always when it comes to gaming. He thinks he knows more than he actually does. Don't listen to him.

You can buy a brand new PS2, not a refurb, for $99 at any Walmart. There is no way that $100 is the minimum for a used one. An original Xbox is usually roughly $30 unless it is a special release such as the Halo Edition, and that doesn't necessarily always mean it's more valuble.

But the scratches were DEEP, coming from bottom to top.

Hate to tell you this your disk is far beyond help because it only takes one deep scratch on the data reading parts to turn a game disk into a hi-tech Frisbee. Since you say you have two well you're better off getting another copy of that game it has nothing to do with the ps2 at all (at least that's what the guy at Play N Trade said when I brought a disk with a deep scratch in it to be repaired).

Bump: I am convinced I the disc got the Red Screen of Death because there were 2 scratches on the small PLASTIC RING surrounding the hole in the disc. Anyway, I forgot tell you it was the disc for Hot Wheels: Beat That!, which does not have a blue back.

The way it sounds from this post, the disc was actually cracked rather than scratched.
