I've got 2 ps2 fats and 1 slim and for some reason the slim won't read lightly scratched ps1 games. Both of my fats read them no problem so my question is does the fat have a better lazer or something? I'm not going to get the disc resurfaced unless the fat freezes but it hasn't yet.

Slim has the better Lazer I believe, but they don't last forever. I've only had issues with fat ps2s not reading the CD rom ( blue bottom ) ps2 discs.

I always thought the Fat Ones were more susceptible to the dreaded Disc Read Error

Phat PS2 had issues with laser alignment as well as gripping discs if they were too thin. There were tricks to get it to behave.

I have 3 slims and one is unable to detect the disc.
