My only issue with the PS2 was when I had a ton of trouble getting Star Ocean 3 working. Bought the game brand new and it would freeze at the same spot every time. So I took it to gamestop to show them and they gave me a used PS2 to see if it would work better than my PS2. Froze at the same place every time. After trying a few different PS2's and multiple copies of the game with the same results, they upgraded me to a PS2 Slim at no extra charge. No problems after that.
The 360 though, was a nightmare. Got the RRoD more than once and it would take weeks for Microsoft to send the console back after repairs.
Ah yeah you had one of those PS2's who's laser had trouble reading the dual-layered DVDs. Conveniently enough, all those old PS2's they had also had trouble reading them, lol.
I don't think there was too many of those types of games, but star ocean 3 is one of them. (Well at least the director's cut version/the version of the game we had localized in NA and UK).
