I own the old version of the PS2. I bought GH 2 as soon as it came out. It has worked perfectly fine until about a week ago. It has suddenly started "sticking." In the middle of songs, it will pause momentarily. This will occur several times in a song and by the end, the board and audio don't match up. All of this happens randomly...10 minutes after starting my system or 1 hour although this does not occur consistently. It can happen once and then not again for 30 minutes.

Is there something wrong with my game (damaged somehow? although no scratches), do I need to clean my system, or is something more serious wrong with my PS2?

Thanks!

I had the same problem with my old fat system. GH2 uses a new media streaming system and reads straight from the DVD so the best thing to do is use a CD/DVD lens cleaner.

Other way is to turn your PS2 from horizontal position to vertical or vice versa
