Does leaving the game disc in the PS2 do any damage?

[truthseeker]

Will it damage my game or the PS2 if I leave the game disk in the PS2 as I turn it off.

The reason is that I am playing the same game, and it will last me for weeks playing this same game. Can I leave the game disc in the Ps2? Or will leaving the game disc in the Ps2 damage the console in some way?

If you turn it off, then no.

[unbrokenmirror]

I leave games in my consoles all the time. Not once has it caused any problems for me or my games and systems.

Are you saying that if I leave the PS2 game disc on the PS2 console as I turn it off, there is a chance the disc and PS2 may blow up? LOL

I have another question.

When I finish playing a game, do I just press OPEN and take the disc out?

Or is there a better way?

And when I first go to play the PS2, do I press OPEN and insert game disc as the PS2 is OFF, and then press ON button?

Or do you guys do it a different way?

Sounds good. Ok.

By the way, I was playing a game last night and all of a sudden the PS2 started making a very loud noise from the spinning disc I assume.

But I quit the game, reloaded the saved game, and the noise stopped. But then when I quit again, and the game went to main menu, the loud noise came from the PS2 again. But as soon as I once again loaded a saved game, the noise stopped.

What causes this? Sounds like it's coming from the actual spinning of the game disc.

Is this normal to happen at times? It's a brand new PS2, only 1 week old.

Strictly speaking, you should reset it before opening it, but what you are doing won't do any harm (as long as the game is loading or something like that)

I turn mine off using the switch on the back so when I go to play it, I flip the switch on the back, then press the eject button, which also resets it, place the disk in and push the tray in.

Just answer the questions I asked in the PM and we'll see where that gets us.

But if I reset the PS2 without pressing eject as the game is on, the PS2 will reset and start loading the game again.

So that is why I press eject button as I am in the game. Then take out disc and then press button for 2 seconds till the Ps2 turns off.

I do not have a button on back of my PS2. How come you do?

So how do you resest the ps2 without the ps2 game trying to load?

There's a delay of about 2 seconds, which should be enough to get the disk out.

You must have the slimline ones. I've got the old fat boys.

[unbrokenmirror]

well if you leave your dick tray open and the console on it can damage it

I hope that's an honest typo
