PS2 games are not on rewritable discs
There's not much of a difference in size, but if you put a PS2 disk into a DVD player, you probably just get the audio, if anything. This is very rare.
a ps2 is a gaming console that plays disk's much like a DVD player plays movies. you plug in a controller, put in the disk, let the ps2 do its thing, and play the game. a ps2 can go online if you get an ethernet adapter. what that is, is a two part deal. one part is the actual adaptor, ther second part is a cord that plugs into a wi-fi modem. a ps2 can also play dvd's.
If the ps3 has backwards compatibility. The only ps3 system that will play a ps2 disk. (not a burned or copied disk) The 20gb and 60gb and 80gb will work. The ps2 system data is a download off of the play station store. This download won't work on the ps3 slim. I download the ps2 system data file off of the play station store. Then after I download the ps2 system data folder. I putted the ps2 disk (not copied or burned) in the ps3 slim and it didn't work. The only ps3 that will play a ps2 game has to have 4 usb ports. If the ps3 has 2 usb ports it won't work. Every ps3 model will play a ps1 game. If you have a ps2 a ps1 game will play on it. The 80gb ps3 doesn't play as many ps2 games as the 60 and 20gb ps3 do. The 20gb and 60gb play the most ps2 games.
It might be a double layered disk, and sometimes you're ps2 will not respond to double layered disks. so try going out and buying a new ps2. it was alot easier cause the game loaded up in like 2 seconds.
clean the disk that's in your ps2
The PS2 does not have a harddrive
NO! it will be on the PS3 and maybe 360 and furter more no it will not be PS2 disk
When I was prompted for a format disk on ps2, I went to game stop to buy the disk. They said a disk was not available - the game was simply too scratched to play.

you need a online disk a ps2 adopter the internet connection, the ps2 and a tv
you place the disk (movie) into the disk tray otherwise you cannot
It is rotated 90 degrees to the right on the disk trey and every manufactured PS2 I see has it upright.
Sounds like you've got a scratched or dirty disk. Try giving it a clean. Hold by the edges, making sure your fingers do not touch the disk surface, then use a clean cloth and wipe from the centre outwards - not in a circular motion. The other possibility is that your PlayStation disk drive isn't working properly - that could be a hardware fault or just try resetting the console. You could also have a game from a different region. If the game is an import game, it won't work on your PS2.
There really isn't anything you can do, except clean the disk. Some games just wont work on the "fat" PS2 (The old one). So if the problem keeps going just buy a newer, slim PlayStation 2, that helped my problems.
Breath on the side that is scratched then lightly rub the surface with cloth or you can buy a disk cleaner from game stop or any video game store
With a PS2 Network startup disk. You can buy them where video games are sold .
