Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit disc will not read on sons PS2. Model # of PS2 is SCPH-70012. Activision Cus. Support told me to contact Sony for help. This is the 2nd disc we have tried. Please help. He does have other guitar hero software that works.

I had the same problem and did the same thing with trying to go get another disc and getting a hold of Sony. Sony told me that I had to pay them $45.00 to get my machine adjusted to read the new dual layer disc. That is what the problem is. They knew about this and sent the game out anyway. I have heard that there is a lawsuit against them and I'm going to do my best at getting ahold of them to join in. I'm very upset.

We had the EXACT same problem with our son's ps2 and Guitar Hero World Tour for ps2. We exchanged it and still the same problem of disc not working. We tried disc in 2 different working ps2's and last and finally we tried the disc on a slim ps2. Which is just a smaller version of the bigger ps2. The disc works with the slim ps2!!! Good luck.

Here's what I did to fix the same problem on my PS2 (Slim model # SCPH-70012). This should work for all models of PS2's. (Slim or Fat). Sony says all models can read a dual layer disc. If the fix doens't work then you need to send in your PS2 for service.


1) Start up the PS2 with no disc in it.
2) Highlight the 'Browser' menu and press the 'green triangle' button.
3) Highlight the 'Console' menu and press the 'green triangle' button.
4) Highlight the 'Diagnostics' menu and press the 'blue X' button and select 'ON'.
5) Press the 'red O' button to back out of this menu.
6) Highlight the 'PlaystationDrive' menu and press the 'green triangle' button.
7) Highlight the 'Disc Speed' menu and press the 'blue X' button and select 'FAST'.
8) Press the 'red O' button to back out of this menu.
9) Turn off your PS2.

10) This step is optional.......I blew into the main unit to loosen any dust out of it and then carefully used my shirt to wipe across the lens at the back of the drive. I'm not sure if this mattered or not. Since I did this in conjuction with the above steps I can't say if this is needed.


11) Insert the disc and turn the PS2 back on. The diagnostics should run and automatically adjust your PS2 to play the game. I was amazed! Mine loaded right up after several previous days of nothing.

12) I checked the settings after the initial load and the Diagnostics and Drive speed reset to normal so it must be a one time run thing. My game has loaded everytime since and I haven't had to re-do the settings at all.

I hope this works for you too!!
