Was the game disk you tried to play an original one or a pirated one? If it was a pirated disk then your PS2 isn't chipped to play pirated (i.e. you'll only be able to play original disks)

@ Shola2009 he said his console is new, what's the point of telling him to get another one?. If you meant he gets a PS3 because (in your words) the PS2 is extinct, for your information games are still being released for the PS2. Besides he is seeking help on playing a game disk and not asking for opinion on getting a new console.

@Shola2009, you are an ass!
    @poster, since you said it's a new console, you might have inserted a pirated disc, so you will need to get your ps2 chipped to enable it recognize the disc. or better still, be a patriotic Nigerian by buying ORIGNIAL PLATES

^^and hw did u come to that conclusion??

you can check the back of ur console maybe is nstc , jap or pal , that's will tell u the type of cds u have to buy, NOT EVERY ONE LIKE TO PIRATE THEY GAME CONSOLE , YOU CAN CONTACT LEXMAN 08023321050 IF U WON TO BUY ORIGINAL CD

@dival247
missed that point, the proliferation of pirated games and cd's made that happen.
Great, that could be another reason,
