@mgau123 - two your DVD laser has gone out or is not able to focus. First try cleaningthe laser lens with a Q-tip and a very, very minute amount of rubbingalcohol.
If that doesn't do it for you try setting the machineon it's side, standing vertical. I have a machine that will only readdiscs in this stance.
@bradly_steve - make sure to clean it out. if you still are having issues please post some details.
Blue, black or silver disc? Does it boot or have power at all?

-   I have the slim version of the playstation 2 and some ps2 games will not work in it. In particular the God of War games (both 1 and 2) all of the other games seem to work fine but it will not read many DVD's. -   mgau123
Other games work fine on PS2, but bought a used Call of Duty and a new Madden 10 - and neither one...

Other games work fine on PS2, but bought a used Call of Duty and a new Madden 10 - and neither one works. The Call of Duty one says "The disc could not be read" and Madden just goes to the memory card - it's like it doesn't even recognize that there is a disc.
