[quote name='cheapass Gundam']If you are experiencing Disc Read Error and you have not modified your PS2 yet, Sony is obliged to repair it for you for free as part of their class action settlement agreement. Check GameFAQs.com's PS2 section for details on this free repair offer and the 1-800 number.[/QUOTE]
If we're looking at the same class action suit, you're mistaken. The class action law suit is to fix it for $41, not for free. If you're not afraid to open it up, you can try cleaning the lense and then check out the links I posted in the stickied PS2 fix thread.
