Just keep in mind when you are using copied DVDs on your PS2 to use better qualitied ones, otherwise you're drastically shortening the life of your PS2 by using shitty-qualitied ones. The PS2 is poorly constructed, and with very mediocre parts, so it isn't as versatile of a DVD player as many of you might think. By using a cheap DVD, the PS2 may not be able to read it at all, or will have to strain itself in attempts of reading the data on it. This in turn puts tremendous stress on the laser of the PS2, as well as the drive motor, not to mention slowing down the loading time even more. Most PS2 game burners recommend brands of discs such as Ritek/Ridata (which for some reason work fabulously with the PS2, but is quite cheap) or Mitsui (which has actually dropped in price recently).
