Actually, what he is saying is misleading and totally false. I verified this with PS2 support and the guy literally laughed when I told him that :P

He said there is zero chance of damage opening tray etc if the Ps2 is ON or OFF.

And he said we are safe to keep a game disc in the ps2 as long as you want, even if the ps2 is turned off.

Misunderstandings.

What I read from mirror's post was that the tray could be damaged if it's left open, which is true, but not in the sense that he's saying. I've 'damaged' CD tray's before by leaving them open, then either walking into them and stepping on them

(not intentionally) so if you leave it open, then have an 'accident', it could damage that tray.

If you are accident free, then you could do what you want with the tray, or the game, and be sure that nothing back will happen.

Leaving a SlimLine open can be bad for the laser due to it being more susceptible to physical damage and dust accumulation.

Ok, that is fair comment.

However, please note... The original topic was... Is it ok to open the tray as there is a game running in the console.

The initial topic was never leaving the tray open all the time... Why would a person need to do that anyway if they have a tray to close?

The answer to whether or not you can open the tray while a game is being played is "yes."
