Did a quick google...

What should I do if my PlayStation 2 disk is scratched?
Was the console ever moved while in operation with the game inside? Perform the demo test: Load a demo disk (do not use one of your full games). After the demo disk is played, remove the disk and check for damage. If the PlayStation fails to damage the demo disk,
use the demo disc before loading any software for about five days.

If the PS2 causes no damage, the original scratch was probably a result of the console having been moved while in use with the game inside - and a repair/exchange of the console will not be possible.

If circular or concentric scratches appear on the demo disk, it is possible that your PlayStation has a problem. If you think your PS2 has damaged one or more of your disks, do not continue playing with the PS2 as further damage may result and contact Sony UK Telephone Helpline and send the scratched disk(s) to Sony UK where they will be examined and, if necessary, repaired or replaced with new copies.

If, after inspection, the disk has been damaged due to misuse, Sony will return the game to you with details on how to contact the relevant publisher.

and here's the helpline #...

US Sony telephone helpline: 1-800-345-7669.

oh yeah they dont damage my normal disks but it seems that the disks with a different color at he bottom is getting damaged.like black or blue

I read that placing scottch tape in the middle of the disc keeps colored disc running easily. I haven't had the problem but try that.

Those are CD-Rom disks instead of DVDs, it is possible that your laser is scratching them.

Just out of curiousity Killer, is your PS2 standing up or laying down?

My last 2 ps2 were not very friendly to the games. What I have learned once I think a disk is dead: Keep in mind this is when I figure it's try something or just trow the disk away. If I actually wash it, maybe even use windex it can save the disk. Also if they seems to be some type of harsh blemish or a scratch I will use some type of orange cleaner, a lot of these are oil based and can help a scratch seem smoother. Both have worked for me, but remember don't due these things unless you have no other way to go.

[HLK]

Yeah my method worked.
