PS2\'s DVD playback sucks??
« on: December 29, 2000, 02:07:24 PM »
Why do people think the PS2\'s DVD playback sucks???

I have a $400 dollar Sony DVD player and I\'ve run them side-by-side and I can\'t tell the difference.

I love the playback.  Anyone else thinks its not great??  


I think Sony did an excellent job of DVD playback.

Mine works perfectly, I don\'t know why people are saying it sucks.  They\'re just stupid.

Mine works perfect as well, and I think the DVD playback is excellent.

Maybe people want to justify their $200 purchase (for their DVD players) ... I\'m not sure.

I think the PS2 playback is nice, and I haven\'t had a single problem.

The PS2 DVD playback is good, just not as good as a stand-alone player.  For the record, this is not just my observation, there are many that agree.  But I definitely do not think it sucks.

Hello I\'m a newbie! I think the PS2 has a decent DVD playback.  I had to send mine back after only a week of having it, because of a bad optical drive.  Ever since Sony repaired it it works great.

If I had any problems with mine (just in case) where would I send it to??? Is it written on the box or something???

By the way...I wouldn\'t recommend buying X-Men on DVD...it sucks. They add in cut-scenes that obviously were inserted by some retard. Of course, there is an option to turn off the extra footage, but you have to change it every time. Try renting this one before buying it.

DVD playback is excellent, and I can\'t wait till my Monster Cable Gamelink 300, and lightwave 100 get here early next week! :)  I have the following DVD\'s so far:

 1. Transformers: The Movie
 2. T2: The Ultimate DVD
 3. Rush Hour
 4. X-Men

As to the person who said X-Men sucks, mine never inserts the extra footage, it was an option when I went to a special feature section.  I also like how I changed it to consistently play 16:9 instead of 4:3 Letterbox, and that I took off the parental control levels (these were annoying as hell!)

How do you turn off the added footage?? Me and my dad were watching it the other nite and when it would switch layers, we looked at each other and said "What the hell??"  Anyways, I love the PS2 dvd, i watch movies all the time now! :D

I couldn\'t get it to insert the extra footage either. The playback itself it good I just think the interface itself is a piece of crap. And having the Infered receiver sticking out of the machine makes it look retarded. I wish they would have just built the receiver into the maching. Oh I hate my remote as well.

I thought X-men the movie sucked in general, so I won\'t get it on DVD.

I\'ve got DVD on the computer I\'m posting with. I perfer the DVD playback on my PS2. It doesn\'t suck. I need to buy a DVD remote for it though. I hate using my controller. I had a DVD remote, but it was one of the early models, where it was mis-labeled. Was rather annoying. I took a hammer to it. It doesn\'t annoy me anymore.
Its broken.
