A laser is nothing more then a highly focused beam of light. Yes if you stare into it it will cause retnal damage. No there is no radiation to speak of, unless you consider waves of light radiation.

The PSOne disk laser is so dangerous that they had to put this spinning plastic disk in front of it in order to protect the masses.

It's a level 1 laser, for crying out loud, it's the same one you have in anyother cd player and CD-Rom (not burners).

The laser in CD players or consoles using CDs is not particularly dangerous unless you stare into it for an extended period of time. The only 'radiation' present is a thin beam of light. You'd have to line your eye up with that beam of light, and stare into the laser for quite a while before you begin to suffer for it. At worst, you would damage your retina, and that could take hours of staring.
Level 1 laser How about a level 3 laser? Or even better, a level 4 laser! ... Oh God, I miss Earth and Beyond!!!
