From the net research I've done on the Disk Read Errors or DRE's, it seems that the alignment of the laser to the disks on many of the old PS2's get out of whack. This is especially prevelant among the blue/purple disks and some DVD's. There are many sites that offer fixes that include opening up the box & manually readjusting the laser. However because of a class action lawsuit claiming Sony knowingly distributed a flawed product they have agreed to fix the problem if you ship it back to them. You can call Sony PS2 customer support at 1-800-345-7669.
I'm doing this myself this weekend as mine has also stopped reading the blue disks.
