The sad day has come where i've reaslised that I can't get away with buying my family cards for christmas while getting a N64 or Dreamcast with 4 games in return...
This year, I plan to buy them a DVD Player... I'm not thick... but when it comes to DVD players I have little experience... which can be summed up in one sentance: 'Breaking a £500 DVD player in COMET and running out of the store'
Now then... I would go for a decent brand - say a Nintendo endorsed one like Panasonic :D, But It did occur to me that that 'thing' you call a Playstation 2 can play DVD's as well... Now... i'm not going soft, I still think SONY are complete idiots...
However, my brothers, who don't have the same steel Nintendo backbone I do, feel that they'd like to be able to play a decent football game on a console and think I should get a PlayStation 2. I was opposed to the whole idea... still am, but I don't buy presents for me... and I want them to be happy...
Of course I won't touch the thing... and i'll definitely use a thrid-party remote control.... :D
What I want to know is if the DVD Player is any good... Please, give honest opinions... I know it can be multi-region, but I want to know what it's like on performance...
Thank You

The DVD player is top notch :-)
The quality is very nice indeed but I can't say that i recommend the PS2 if your going to use it for DVD only.

One of the main reasons Im getting a PS2 I because of the DVD player.
Id also like to know the quality of it.

According to GamesMaster, if you haven't got a scart cable, you can only watch the movies in green.
