I know in Canada if you find a copy of Ico at Eb, it's only 5$. It's absurd.

Your friend doesn't know what he's doing or how a disc drive works, bad advice.

And to add to the forum, does game crazy still have Ico for this amount? 4-10 dollars?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Do not do this! Nobody take this guy's advice.

Doing this will damage the drive. The PS2 drive can spin at a rate of 5000RPM maximum (it's a 4X DVD drive but can read CDs at a rate of 24x speed). Putting something on your discs will change the weight distribution of the platter and will make the disc wobble. When something at 5000RPM starts to wobble it is very possible that it will shatter, at the very least it will gradually wear down the mechanism due to the excess vibration. It will kill the system.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Not to mention applying and removing tape from the top label/data layer of a CD and removing it can actually strip the aluminum data layer right off of the disc.
