fuck!
I\'ve been playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I\'ve been playing it a lot. It\'s a good game. I like it a lot.
Last week, though, I started getting the dreaded Disc Read Error on my PS2. O! Cruel fate! It seems okay if I let it rest for a little while, though. But it didn\'t seem to want to let me play much today.
Now, as some of you might know, my first PS2 died. It died while I was playing Grand Theft Auto III, no less. So when I bought a new PS2 (when Vice City came out), I made sure I got the Future Shop extended warranty. I had to hunt about to find the receipt. But I found it. Two year extended warranty. Excellent. Then I looked at the date on the receipt.
November 15, 2002.
FUCK!
*sigh*
Okay, so there are a few things I can do. I think I\'m going to try getting some canned air to blow out the dust. I also might try some home repair. And if that works out, I\'ll probably go out and get the network adapter and an HD Loader so I can use my spare 40GB drive to copy all my games off disc. If it doesn\'t, I\'ll probably just bite the bullet and pick up the tiny new PS2. They\'re cute anyway. I do want one.
I suppose I have other options. I think it was Jon that mentioned I can ship back the PS2 if I\'m getting read errors. That\'s a pain, though.
Stupid Playstation.
