Nintendo UK responds to PS3 controller

[Titan]

are you joking?  There were better, cheaper DVD players by the time PS2 came out.  You can pick up a $50 DVD player right now that outclasses PS2 by a long shot when it comes to DVD playback.

Yeah......now. Back when I got my PS2, we only had one DVD player in my house (besides the shitty one on the computer) and the thing looked like an old school betamax player or VCR. I thought the DVD playback at the time was pretty good and I used my PS2 as a DVD player all the time. Hell, I still do when I go camping in our trailer (because the DVD players in my house are still pretty hefty in size, 5 disks fit) and would use it in my apartment if me and my roomy don\'t have a DVD player by the time we move in. I\'ll admit it wasn\'t the greatest and had its share of quirks but it wasn\'t bad at all.

ummm,  from the misinformed Sonyphiles who say it.

And how many are these? They are almost non existent

riku, the anti-sony bandwagon is full

you\'ll have to find another ride

There\'s always room at the end of the mm bashing caravan!

i don\'t think the ps2 made dvd\'s mainstream, BUT when i was purchasing it i did say to myself,.."it\'s pretty hot that i\'m gettin a console and dvd player"...i just bought a stand alone player this year,..only because i was gettin tired of using that controller,..i needed a wireless remote,...and even tho was dvd player on ps2 certainly wasn\'t the greatest, i have no complaints from it at all,...worked fine for me...it did happen to skip on a couple of dvd\'s i threw in there, but once i cleaned the lens it played fine....

Clips, you know Sony sold a wireless remote for the PS2 for like 30 bucks, right? Might even be 20 now.

i kinda sorta had an idea that they had one, but at the the time i really wasn\'t tryin to investigate it, i was in k-mart and just bought a cheapo dvd player for 40 bucks,...it plays incredibly well too...thx for the info tho...:fro:

I actually can\'t beleive you never saw them when you went into a game store and picked up a game. I mean they\'re right there

I think I have that thing somewhere.  My PS2 was my primary DVD player for about a year after I moved out, and I was able to afford a top of the line standalone.

Ditto to that. I only use the remote like once a year (when I use it as a DVD player when my family goes camping in our trailer). Other than that, we have DVD players on all the TVs that are frequently used (except mine, which when PS3 comes out, my PS2 will be on my tv in my bedroom). Then I\'ll get use out of my remote again

I have a DVD player but now I use my 360 since it has a higher resolution output than the one I got. The only time lately I used the stand-alone was when I was downloading something from Xbox Live at the time.
 
I\'m all for consoles doubling as DVD players. It\'s just too bad that in this case it also doubles the cost of the machine.

I differ on Eik on this one, I want consoles to one thing. Master of one trade and not a jack of all.

I guess it appeals to consumers though. I know I was all "wow, this is sweet. I can play games AND play movies and CDs (although I did that like twice when I was down the shore and didn\'t have a cd player in the trailer, lol. It works quite well if you ask me. Just not practical at all though)." I mean, I bought the console for games but it was cool having the accessories...atleast until I got stand alone and better players. PS3 would be sweet to have the blu-ray until they are affordable. Wouldn\'t use it for DVDs, cds or whatever else it has unless I\'m in a situation (like trailer camping) where I would need a jack-of-all trades thing.

I think PS3 will be different than PS2 and PS1 in that aspect. PS3 is supposed to be used for various forms of entertainment and so Sony will offer the appropriate interface I believe unlike PS2 and PS1 which at the end were designed with games in mind mostly
 Sony built the PS3 with games, music and video equally in mind.You might be able to handle video and music files on it than just pop a CD in it to listen to music. Also I am optimistic that the DVD and BR functionality will be better than PS2\'s offering better menus and more variety of choices.
