Page 1 of ps2

hi guys and a happy new year to you all

i have a ps2 and would like to watch reg1 dvds on it can someone tell me if it is possible

thanks

yeps, get an AR2 from datal about £30ish
plays dvd from anyplace

Or if you have a local computer fair, try there. I got one for £18 a couple of weeks ago, plus some other stuff a lot cheaper than the shops.

Or try http://www.play.com £18 from them too. In the search box, choose to search PS2 and enter Action Replay as the search criteria to bring it up. Postage included.

It`s out of stock at the moment though, but so were the memory cards when I was going to order them the other week, but they seemed to restock within a couple of days.

Mark.

just spend 6.99 at play.com for a region free disc, although does not work on new models with code 39003, otherwise get region x for about 9.99 anywhere.

I bought a PS2 for my son for Xmas and got a Region X disc at the same time. It works superbly for R1 DVDs and is very easy to use. At £9.99 from Virgin, HMV or ToysRus, it`s bargain.

I would advise the region X disc, as they constantly upgrade their software whenever sony upgrade theirs. If you have a disc that`s older than the PS2, the disc invariably won`t work, but a short trip to the Region X website gives you the new codes to use.

tell me something else guys are you also able to play ps2 games from abroad as well if i get this disc

and thanks for your help great response

nope, the dvd player software is separate from the Games software. Some games use the dvd technology, but the DVD region coding has nothing to do with the games.

well do you know if there is a way, i have read some threads that say you can get them chipped do you know if this is a good thing even where i may find out how to do it

sory for all the questions but if you dont ask ?

thks

i had a ps1 done, was great, till the chip blew! (took 6 months to go)
