Furthermore, the DVD player was probably added on in an attempt to make the PS2 smear the competition (which admittedly, was a strategy that WORKED, because the Gamecube has been knocked out and the Xbox never became as popular as the PS2).Even if you ignore all the negative opinions on the DVD player, you can't ignore the fact that the console itself had other problems

It also works as a DVD player as well, so I can keep it in my gameroom as the sole DVD player as well

Whether you like action, adventure, puzzle, shooters, mmorpg's, sports, or even just watching movies (the slim ps2 makes a great dvd player with a remote), the ps2 has something for everyone, and with a new color and tiny size, its hard to pass up this time around!

Awesome system, everything works dvd player 2.

It's really a bad business move on the part of Sony to never listen to ALL the phone call and email complaints that were directed to them about the DVD players inability to work correctly for most people
