CD/DVD and Laser Problems

[cactus]

Thanks, guys! I only run the PS2 for a couple hours a week. If that at all. I know everything wears out with use, but do think that the amount I use it is worth getting a new chip right away? I've talked to friends and some say it is and some say not to bother. You guys are all pros at this so I'd take your advice before theirs.
