Trouble with the crazy frog on ps2
I bought my son the crazy frog racer game for christmas for his ps2, when he tried to play it the console it had real trouble reading the disc and the music on the game keeps breaking up (sometimes it just said disc error or insert a playstation disc). I assumed it was the disc as his other games play fine(all originals i may add we have not been modified). after replacing the disc back at the shop it does the same thing, i have noticed the disc itself is blue in colour rather than the silver that his other games are could his console just need a good clean or are they printed on some kind of new disc? (please dont take the p about the fact i bought the crazy frog game he asked for it santa delivered almost)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.texol: do you have a CD lens cleaner thing for your hi-fi? It's one of those CDs with little brushes on the underneath that cleans the lens for you. Try doing that, it may just need a little bit of cleaning.
otherwise, take the game back, tell them it's faulty and get a new one. you're quite within your rights, as it could be that disc that's a little faulty.
Many new games do this and there is nothing wrong with the disk, it is purley double density data due to the qulaity of games getting better and more data stored on the disk. Your problem will be a dirty lens, which is easily solved. Disconnect all power from PS2, remove cover. Inside you will see where the dics goes into the machine, in the middel of that area is an arm with a small round lens (1/4" diameter), this is what needs cleaning. Do NOT use any cleaning agents etc, just get a dry cotton bud and wipe the lens clean. That will do the trick. Works every time, it is caused purely by a build up of dust etc which you will see all pver the inside of the machine when you open it.
