    Hey new to the forums and have a question to ask.

    I'm looking at buying a second hand PS2 slim but I've heard some models have a problem with the laser dying. Is this true?

    If so, what ps2 slim models should I avoid?

    If I get stuck getting a PS2 with the laser problem, are they cheap to repair and is there a way to avoid the laser from dying?

    Thanks all.
