it's sad, but I have them all on tape... Damn that was the best trek (other then classic), everything after that sucks.

I need this badly. Yet another reason why I need a PS2. DVD players are snazzy.

BTW, it's good to see you again, Daala. You disappeared for a while there.

A dude I know produces his own fan Star Trek show serries. It was funny to see another friend in the show with a Star Trek uniform on.

The original ST and STtNG were the best, DS9 got borring and Voyager wasn't worth watching. STE is better than Voyager.

Voyager had this one incredible episode in which the story was concentrated on the character seven of nine (or whatever her name is.) It was fantastic, but i forgot the thing had a plot since i was watching Seven of nine mainly.
:D

wow.

I think 7 of 9 was my favorite character on that show. 7 of 9 was her borg designation... the crew shortened it to 7... she musta had some actual name before she got borged

Just a word of warning Iron D, but beware using your PS2 as a DVD player. It's a buggy DVD player that also has problems playing a few discs. Your better off going for a stand alone player if you want to watch DVD's, the playback quality and compatability is MUCH better.

Really, I've had quite a few electronics people say the PS2 is crap for DVD's. They also laughed at my cheap player too...:P

Thanks for the heads up, Satoshi. I've seen the PS2 play DVD's (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back baby!) and it seemed alright to me. Admittedly, I haven't seen that many DVD players in action, but the PS2's DVD player seemed alright, especially considering that you're getting a kick@$$ videogame system along with it. Plus it's much cheaper than most DVD players, is it not?

No, not really. The DVD player market has grown in leaps and bounds over the last year, thus leading to lower prices for a lot of units.

Now keep in mind that since I'm a Canadian, and these prices are in Canadian (^^). I've seen most mid-range players from good electronics companies go for around $230-300 these days. Compare that to the Canadian price for the PS2, which is $450 (Yes, our dollar sucks...:). Plus your stand alone player has more features, including the ability to play MP3's, more outputs (RCA, S-Video, and RGB), and is better suited for DTS playback (Though most people don't have top of the line DTS speakers...:P).

There are also some pretty big combatibility issues as well. Check out this site from IGN DVD to see some of the playback issues for the PS2. Some of it isn't pretty....

The mid-ranger players I was talking about were made by Toshiba, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Sony (Which makes excellent stand alone players. All of the anime companies love them).

I don't know of a good, all purpose DVD player review site which could help rate players beyond this (And offer more info on the PS2 as DVD players). Maybe a few other kind board members could help out with a few links...:P

Hmm...kinda makes me think twice about it. Once I have enough money (someday), I guess I'll have to get both. I had no idea the PS2 had so many DVD problems!

If you want a good stand alone dvd player try the APEX brand, then run for less than 80 bucks and if you have a geeky friend that likes to mess with hardware he could add a couple of neat things to it. Just search google for modifications.

I am thinking about getting a really cheap dvd player like walmart 90 dollar style. Mid range dvd players suck cuz alot dont have cdr support its either high range and low range cuz i think the low range are made out of computer parts. They'll play anything. Im just wondering about the picture quality...

What sort of enhancements was that dude talking about?

Oh yeah i would like to "Borg" 7 myself...

Dude star trek has sucked since Gene Roddenberry died. Rick Berman totally sucks. I havent been able to steadily watch star trek since season 4 of ng.
