i have it on my ps2 with the gilchrist cover and it works fine for me now,but on the first day when i bought it didnt work and had the same problem of very long loading times,and in anger i scratched the sticker on the cd(which is pasted on the cd because its a DVD-R) with my nails,after tht it worked fine for me,and now it works smooth.i think the sticker i removed helped,in what ways i dont know,but finally it worked.
