Guitar Hero 5 not playing on PS2. Solutions?
Just got Guitar Hero 5 for PS2 and it doesn't play. "Disc read error." I put some old games in and they work just fine. The PS2 has been used off and on the past year for some old Final Fantasy games.
Is this a problem with an old PS2 player and a new game, or is there something I can do before I try and take the game back?
Thanks in advance for any help!

If it's a "fat" PS2, that's likely your problem. A lot of dual-layered games had problems being read. A new slimline one should solve your problem.

I was shocked ta find they still made PS2 games as well! We have Rockband/Beatles rockband and all the instruments for 360, but no Guitar Hero guitars. Then I saw a PS2 copy in the store for 29.99 and I remembered we had those crappy red and black Gibson SGs from GH1 and 2, so I thought I'd try it. I gotta play "Do You Feel Like We Do" on expert...one of my fav solos of all time.
Dangit, yes...it's a fat PS2. Not gonna buy a slim one, may grab a PS3 when the new F1 game comes out, so maybe I'll try and take it back and get it for 360 for now.
Another site mentioned a firmware upgrade from Sony for like $40. Sounds odd tho...

Try cracking the machine open and wiping the lens that reads the discs with a scratch-free cloth. That fixed my launch PS2 when it was having problems reading discs, and it works fine now.
