Ok so I have a ps2 that I bought off of ebay, its garenteed to work, blah,blah,blah. anyways whenevery i put a cd in (silverback or mini) i get an error that sais "please insert your playstation or playstaion 2 format disk" so i called up gamestop and they said there was not such thing. If your gettin that message your lens is probloby broken. However when I went to my friends house last night he said that he had one, had the same proble, and fixed it (then he lost the disk :( )

can anybody shed some light on this for me?

I've never heard of a PS2 format disk, but I had a problem like that before. Before I give any advice I need to know if you have one the old fat PS2s or a new thin one?

What do you mean they said "there is not such a thing"? A PS or PS2 format disc? Its just what it sounds like. I got that message when I tried playing a burned DVD. When you put a damaged disc it just says "disc read error". So it sounds like you used an unreadable format, which isnt the case. If they said the lens is broken then they owe you an exchange, simple as that.

If it's a think PS2 you need to just take off the top cover and use a cold air spray can to blow out all the dust. That happened to me before and it started working after a good cleaning.
