The DVD Player on PS2 is excellent, my Uncle even compared it to his £500 DVD player!

Odd, because it compares favourably to my Sony DVP-S725D.

It's obviously never going to be as good as an above-average dedicated player; the picture quality won't be as good, and nor will the playback features. It was never intended to be, and it certainly never will be for the price. And quite frankly, I don't know why people are foolish enough to expect it to be.

It serves as a basic DVD player, and that's all it was ever claimed to do. You wouldn't expect to buy a top-end dedicated player for £300, and only a fool would expect to get a top-end player combined with another product.

It's the same as hi-fi equipment - if you want a decent system, you buy a combined (midi) unit; if you want the best quality, you buy seperate units.

The dvd player is absolutly fantastic but it lost sound sync sometimes but this is overcome by selecting the diagnosis on.now you have a dvd player the same quality as about £250.i highly recommend it.

also there's alot going round about the ratio being fixed,this isn't true you have to STOP the dvd then you can adust it.

Sony has said that the DVD playback in the ps2 will not change, the software may be updated but that will not improve the MPEG2 decoder in the machine.

Something is not right. He is a "regular"!

He will think he has the right to start swearing much more now since he is no longer a "newbie".

The Future Is Dim, because guru is here and is now a "regular".

I really cannot make sense of this title!?!?

By 'new play statation' I assume that you mean the PS2, as it was in your rather confusing title, or, have I again misunderstood your obvious genius? Do you maybe mean the PSOne, that could be refered to as a 'new play station'.

Mind you, neither of these consoles take up much room, so couldn't realistically me refered to as 'a wast of space'.

So what could this 'new play station' be?

I think the answer can be found here ' '. See, the space between 'play' and 'station'. I assume that half life master is actually writing about his new toy train station. That would take up much room if attached to a whole train set, and would seem to suit the poster, given his style of writing. Mind you, he doesn't seem impressed by it.

No room for both Thomas AND Percy, hey?

What's a play station?? What does 'wast' mean?? I didn't know it was spelt 'Bed rooms.'

Perhaps I ought to get my 3-year-old cousin to reply, even she could think of a more intellectual post than this.
