A few months ago a suit was flled against Sony. Class representatives Edward Kaen, Robert Hinojosa and Christoper Hirst claimed that the PS2s damaged CD and DVDs, displayed a ‘disc read error’ message and wouldn’t play games.

At first Sony refuted the charges, but now a settlement has been reached so if you’ve recently bought, repaired or lost a PS2 with one of the specific model numbers Sony will give you:

a free PS2 game from a defined
list, or a free or cut-price repair or replacement of their console -
at SCEA’s discretion. Full details are available on the settlement website

Looks like Sony is finally starting to listen to their customers, and it’s about time they did.
