Hi,

Two questions....

a. Will the PS2 DVD, play NTSC DVDs from the States/Hong Kong?

b. What's the best piece of equipment to enable you to watch Region 2 DVDs on the player?

Cheers for any help.

Wookie (or anyone else really!),

Will DVD Region X clear up the RGB green screen issue. Or is that just wishful thinking?

Also, I've recently purchased Best of Raw on DVD. Cunningly, it's Region 2 in NTSC format. It mentions needing an S-Video lead. Should all televisions have an s-video input socket?

I've got the feeling I'm gonna need a new telly to watch my Region 1 discs.

How does the saying go?
