Dude, one of my games (ESPN NBA Basketball 2K4) Got a bunch of big scratches on like half of it and it plays perfect! PS2 games suck ass. Once they get a scratch you gotta forget about it. I hate PS2 and Game Square. I love the XBOX. Simply put, the best console in all of the IMPORTANT aspects of gaming. Especially since XBOX's graphics make PS2 Graphics look like a damn SNES!!!
