Yeah. When I first bought my copy of Final Fantasy 8, I beat it, and then lent it to a friend. I get it back and i wanted to play it again. So Disc 1 worked perfectly, but I saw that the frame rates in Disc 2's FMVs were incredibly slow. Little by little the frames slowed to the point where they moved a frame a minute. I then put the PSX upside down and it started working again fine until the end of the FMV. However when the FMV ended, the game froze, and never played again. Sad story. I bought the thing again a year or so later.
Have you ever put your member somewhere where it didn't belong, only to damage it in some obnoxious way?
