The problem with the DVD player function of the PS2 is this: It sucks as a DVD player. There are about 100-200 DVD's that simply will not play in the PS2 for one reason or another. The DVD/MPEG decoder card built into the PS2 was really meant to handle DVD-ROM PS2 games, the fact that it can play DVD movies is just a unintended bonus. As such, they really didnt pour alot of research and development into the DVD Player aspect as they really should have.
