Yeah I know how you feel, some PS2 games seems to be broken when you first buy it brand new! Not sure exactly why but maybe Sony screwed something up… I started my gaming with a Super Nintendo, Sega Mega Drive, ATARI and Sega Master System then moved to PSX/PS One then I end up buying a PS2 and PSP (I have 2 versions of the PSP) and I brought a few games that never played on the PS2 including AVP Extinction, my brother has AVP Extinction on the original Xbox and plays extremely excellent even some games for the original Xbox had issues of not being able to play or after playing they don’t work anymore even where there’s nothing wrong with the disc same with some games for the PS2
I moved over to the Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC gaming :) I still have all my previous consoles too and in working condition except the ATARI and Sega Master System lets say it’s a reminder of my first time at rage quitting LOL
