USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 That's right. My PS2 croaked tonight. Ahh now I am PS2-less for at least a month. I guess it's a good thing I got some good games for Gamecube to pass the time. No HCTP for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 I was sick of HCTP after the first week I bought it. What happend to your machine? UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 I am suspecting HCTP is responsible. Ever since I played HCTP, my PS2 has started freezing up on me. Now it freezes up on other games too. And for the past week, it won't even read a damn DVD or PS2 disc. Tonight I came to terms with it and I called it dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 Strange. Do use a lot of Create-A-Wrestlers? I've found my PS2 makes a bizarre noise whenever I play as my CAW and watch his entrance etc. Thankfully for me, I'm not very big on CAW's so it is no big deal. I have, however, played it fairly often and encountered no problems whatsoever. I find it hard for a game disc to be responsible for the degeneration of an entire Playstation 2 console, but then again I have no knowledge whatsoever what what makes the things work and what sets them off.

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 One of the more popular reasons I've read for why HCTP (supposedly) does this to PS2s is because a batch of the games are defective, as in unbalanced, or thicker than other PS2 discs. But who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 Thank you. I'm thinking it was defective. And last night when I took the HCTP out of the console I was shocked to see DEEP scratch marks on the CD and it wasn't there when I popped it in. I tried Madden 2004, and same, DEEP scratch marks. I am quite baffled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 so you ruined HCTP and Madden 2004... so when you get a new PS2 you won't have those two games to play... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 Well I never intended to play THAT HCTP after the troubles I got with it. But Madden... I'm sad to say yes... I cannot play it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molotov The Bear 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2003 I don't see how a game disc can ruin your system.. Well it does. The same thing happened to me a few days ago. Porter, goto sony's website and email them. They should be able to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2003 Just use a scratch-remover for the disk rather than buying a new Madden, or get a professional to replace the plastic casing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
