PS2\'s DVD playback sucks??

i want the SONY DVD remote..i wonder when its going to come out to state side..i guess it wont be until sometime spring or summer 2001..i LOVE the dvd playback..considering that it is the ONLY DVD player i have..my ONLY complaint is that there isnt too many functions on it

The only problem i have with the dvd playback is the fact that the fastfoward doesn\'t go fast enough and it takes forever to get to some scence from the begginning of a chapter in a couple of my movies - my friends new dvd player gets up to 60x fastfoward - now thats fast - other than i love it

Myself and others have had problems running Gladiator on DVD and someone else just posted about the Matrix getting the same errors as me.

It\'s good playback, when it works, which so far I\'m 2 out of 3.

Gladiator played back fine on my PS2.  But now I have to send my PS2 in for repairs after only a month (refuses to read PSX/PS2 software now; everything works fine on my friend\'s PS2).

WWF Smackdown 2 seems to run fine, however the load times are outrageously long.

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.

 

What player do you use on your PC,Living-in-Clip ?I have tried Cinemaster,Power DVD,WinDVD.With all that players I got problems with static backrounds( flickering,pixels change from hard to soft).Maybe its just a Monitor problem.With my PS2 playback is much better.
So I use my PS2 for Region 1 and my PC for al other Regions (mainly 2).

I think PS2´s DVD playback doesn´t suck, the bad films suck!!!

Mediamatics.
Its about 2 years old now.

From my experience and what I\'ve seen, the people who say that Sony\'s DVD playback sucks, are the people who think there the sh*t cuz they have some over priced DVD, and are MAD, just because a "toy" has the same playback as there super fabalous high end DVD.

Yeah,

I\'m really laughing at people who think the DVD playback on the PS2 is garbage, it rocks!

Also, I\'ve watched: Matrix and Gladator BOTH on my PS2 and they work fine.

The DVD playback on the PS2 is more than adequate.  I can\'t really notice the difference between it and my set-top Toshiba SD-2150 player.  The only thing I like better about my standalone player is that it can do zooming and it has faster searching.

Unless you have a high-end DVD capable of progressive scan (for owners of digital TVs only), there\'s really not a huge difference.  Sony finally got off their butts and made their first one, the 9000ES.  Too bad it costs like $1500 retail while their competitors offer the same features (if not more) for hundreds less.  

The 9000es plays SACD & also contains a dedicated microprocessor for motion detecting.  Combine that with a 54MHz/12-bit video DAC and that price is not that exhorbant at all.

Yeah I suppose not.  It\'s only a matter of wanting to part with the cash. :hat:
