Alright, my PS2 is about 2 years old and its basically gone to shit, I think theres just way too much dust on the lens or something but I dont want to open it up and void the warranty.
I checked the playstation website and it says the warranty is only like 90 days, so does that mean I can't send it in to get it fixed/cleaned?
Also does anyone know of any websites with info on how to clean a PS2, I really don't want to drop 150$ on a new one..

Basically the only way you'll get a new one is if you own the oldest model, that's the only one--I believe--they recognize as being flawed.
Open the sucker up, it's your only option at this point. It's not hard either. There are websites and if google fails you, I can probably dig some documentation up or rehash what I know.

I e-mailed Sony about this, and they agreed to take mine back. I got it the holiday season that it was released, so it's one of the first rounds they made that falls under that "flawed" catergory.

At this point, there is no warranty man. Open it up.
