Playing different region DVDs on a PS2

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Is it possible?

A Dvd I am after is region 1, I use my Ps2 as my DVD player in my living room can you play different region dvd's on there or just region 4?

Thanks.

im pretty sure PS2 arent multi region dvd players. so no you wont be able to play it.

unless you brought the dvd from the same country as the PS2: ie if you brought the ps2 in north america, canada(region 1) then the dvd would work on it.

There is a disc available that can supposedly do it without a modchip, http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=41&products_id=1622 , or just get the thing modded and remove region coding permanently.

I've got a 3rd party region-switching package that I don't need anymore.

It's not the most reliable thing on the planet (sometimes you need to boot up a couple of times before it kicks in), but it does work.

PM me if you're interested.

buy a DVD player. I used my PS2 as a DVD player for a while and it is rubbish. It stretches the picture, has some serious problems switching between layers on some DVDs and you can't use surround sound either. You can get a decent DVD player which supports all regions for around $150 these days. Well worth it.

Had no problems playing DVD's on y PS2 with pic quality, just as good as any DVD player. However Samwise is correct, your better of buy a DVD player to play your DVD's on, save the laser on your PS2 for gaming.
They are alot cheaper than $150 though. I got a nice slimeline Grundig for $77 and it plays everything you throw at it.
