laser issues on ps2

[makluda]

How long does a Ps2 last before the laser gives out? any suggestions? Yo Bg you got the same ps2 that i ordered from charlie, (v5 i think) did you get any tips on how long it would last? Charlie if your reading this let me know an estimation, just concerned. I dont want to have to have someone fix my laser after a year or so and spend money doing that. Tdk and Verbatim are the best dvd-rs and CDr's on the market that wont put pressure on the laser to read it, is this true or will all media put pressure on a laser making it work a little harder then pressed games from sony? I belive this to be the case but was just wondering. I read the post about black cdr's and dvd-r's these are the type of media made for the psx1 any known fact on these to work well or better then the tdk and verbatim or is it just color and thats why its so expensive? haha
