That's because I called Dust and said I'd got one.

The £ price equates to $240.

The competition across the road (Virgin Games) are stocking from 1-Oct and are charging the equivalent of $300.

Total no brainer.

If anyone is looking to buy one of these, you may also want to consider ordering from Amazon.co.uk: they are doing the bundle silver console bundle for £134.99 with FREE delivery :cool:

just search for: Silver Sony PlayStation 2 Console with Extra Controller

just ordered one myself :D

Is anyone in the UK chipping this version yet or do we wait until the minor bugs are ironed out (e.g. the one Dust2Dust found with v1.3.1) ?

Do you or Charlie, or anyone for that matter, know when the next firmware is due? If it is within the next month or so then i'd probably wait but if its gonna be months then I'll get it done asap :D its only a very minor bug after all ;)

green scren can be fixed by the right Scart cable. We never found the fix in v7/v7/v9.

what is the right scart cable?

Full 21 pin Scart connection; even better with the DVD movie switch flicked when you watch a movie.
ottoman

I have full 21 pin scart cable with movie / game switch on it.

This means u play games with RGB output but movies in composite video output which loses quality. The green screen fix in ps2 means that everything played in RGB quality.
bobfffg
06-10-2003, 04:17
I guess we'll just have to accept the loss in quality :(

besides, anyone who's really bothered over dvd quality should be using a designated dvd player and not the ps2 for movie playback ;)

Why have a device that plays DVD's an then not play dvd's on it u chopper..................
ottoman
06-10-2003, 11:28
an besides theres a way round it. Turn on ps2 with messiah disabled an use ar2 dvd multiregion as dvd video boot disc. Kills green screen but still plays in rgb..........Just a bit of a hassle compared to having a green screen fix.

easy ottoman, like i said, anyone who is really interested in getting the best out of the dvd format would probably use a designated dvd unit. you can't honestly regard the ps2 dvd player being comparable with some of the dvd units on the market, look at the cost for starters......:rolleyes:

i don't play dvd's on mine, 'cos the playback quality from a ps2 is nothing compared to my dvd unit coupled with decent third party cabling :D

that's why i wouldn't play dvd's on the device....and i'm not going to resort to taunts and heckling ;)

it is better to get a dvd player plus it has extra features such as playing mp3's and vcds. were going a lil off topic dont you think:)

simply for the new remote on/off button, 'cos i don't wanna have to walk across the room to switch it off when the rest of my hi-fi system can all be switched off by remote...kinda defeats the object otherwise :( That was definately the most important thing lacking on the last model, sooo glad they sorted it out :D
