How much damage...

[Gurm]

For what it's worth...

I got a PS2 ... a year and a half ago, close to two years now.

It's a version 4 - GT3 edition.

Immediately installed a Neo2.5+DVD in it.

Have used it ... not extensively but moderately ... in that time.

Recently switched the Neo for an Apple.

All games, including DVD+R copies, run flawlessly.

Luck of the draw, that's all it is.

P.S. Anyone who can hook me up cheaply with a laser for when this crappy V4 finally goes... pm me!
