Its the firmware hack. I bought it pre-modded. The problem was that the discs would SOMETIMES load up. . .and most of the time would not. It kept on giving me an "Open Tray" error - and for like an hour, I searched online finding out where I go to start the fucking game. . .not realizing that if the game was to play it would say PLAY GAME where OPEN TRAY was displaying.

I found out that on some firmware or other - the laser goes "off track" into dead territory and doesnt go back to reading the disc - and stop spinning. So I spent about 4 hours of cursing getting the pos open. . .to apply a bit of rubber band to keep the laser from going off-track. At first it didnt work. . .but once i trimmed the band up a bit, I got it up and going.

What I wouldnt give for a fucking modchip though, but something tells me with this laser behavior - Id still get the same problems.

Still the shit works so Im not going to complain - for about 15 minutes there I thought I broke the damn thing.
