Re: slimline ps2 and the dreaded gt4

Will it play DVDs?

Re: slimline ps2 and the dreaded gt4

Exactly the same thing happens to me. I think some PS2 games just plain don't work on the slim. God of War 1 and 2 don't work either

Re: slimline ps2 and the dreaded gt4

If I remember rightly, the PS2 slim had compatibility problems with dual layer DVD games - which will include GT4 and GOW 1+2.

I'm not sure if the newer models have sorted that out, I hope they did....

Re: slimline ps2 and the dreaded gt4

I got one of the first slim ps2's, and despite that it eventually broke, gt4 was one of the four games that always worked... in the end it would only play GT4, Bust-A-Bloc, Penny Racers and X-treme express... No DVDs. So GT4 and three of those strange "Blue Disc" games.

Blue discs were probably CDs. GT4 is a DVD.

Re: slimline ps2 and the dreaded gt4

Not sure what model my PS2 slim is but I was playing GT4 recently, and have never had problems before.

I had the same problem. I bought GT4 black label probably 1Year after release brand new and it didnt work. However my dads copy of GT4 brought on release day works fine on my slim. I tried the other GT4 copy on my dads fat PS2(Release day console) and it works. Bugger knows what the problem was.
