Sorry, (and I know I can\'t "factually" back this up) but my PS2 began committing horrendous DVD playback issues (freezing up, dropping frames, "digitizing" to extreme, etc.) immediately after I installed Saitek\'s controller. TRU was thankfully willing (with the scarcity of PS2s) to replace mine on a next shipment...but I returned the Saitek controller during the PS2 swap at TRU.
Again, not saying absolute correlation of my PS2 and the Saitek controller...but it was all just a little too coincidental for me.
Just some advice.
