When I first got my PS2 The second game I got was SSX this isn't a DVD game but I will tell you anyway. I had the sideways stand for the PS2, which by the way I do not recommend. This would scratch the game extremly bad for some reason and it would not load one of the courses ever, and would randomly freeze up on any other board at anygiven time. So my solution was bring it to the movie rental place by my house they fix CD's, DVD's, and PS and PS2 games. Now I do not know if you are aware but the way to fix a scratch on a disc is to scratch it even more, but the scratches must be perpandicular to the lines of the disc. To make an already long story less long. It made it so the course would load and it did not freeze up........but and this is a huge one. The game play slowed down very, very badly to the point that it actually made it harder to play. So other wise the home remedy is to use toothpaste. Put it on the disc starting from the middle making staight strokes to the end, making sure you are perpadicular to the way the player reads the disc. And keep doing that for a while. I have tried that but it did not work when I did it. But I would talk to someone that knows what they are talking about, like one of the nerds at the video game stores. To make sure it will not ruin a DVD. Cause that is for CD's. So either way you have nothing to lose. Worst case senario you have to shell out another 50 bucks, or trade in the games you are not gonna be playing while you play GT3 obsessivley. Anyway Madden 2002 comes out next month so just sell all your games and by a new GT3 if nothing else works.
