Seven Years (is unkind on a PS2)

So, I go to launch my PS2 to play a little FF7 and start the blog for it, and notice two things:

1)  The Gamebridge I bought doesn't show up right on my PC, which makes screenies difficult.

2)  ...Disc.  Read.  Error.

With almost every game I put in, too.   Sad, sad tidings.   I'm going to take it apart and try to clean the lens, more on this as it develops.
