   I also find this strange my mates all own cheap supermarket DVD players where as the one in their PS2 is better but still they watch DVDs on a separate player!

   Lets see when PS3 comes if they will pay £500 for a separate blue player!

   Well if you have the older PS2(not the slim) it is known to mess up the laser when u play u r DVD's on it. Dont know why but it does. Anyhow, i think its the lack of the remote control that makes it unpopular. I mean come on who wants a corded controller that u cant take with u on the couch or on u r bed. Oh yeah one more thing u cant turn it off by using the controller, u have to get up and shut it off (that's old school)

   The DVD player on the PS2 is not a great player. 6 years ago when the PS2 was first released, it was used more often because the PS2 was $300 when stand-alone DVD players cost $500 or more. Now you can buy good progressive-scan DVD players for $50 or less, so why bother using the PS2 DVD player?

   For me it's just to save wear and tear. The PS2 is $129, you can get a DVD player for under $50.
   Also, PS2 can tend to be a little picky about dirty discs.
   As for the ruins the laser rumor, that is untrue. But think about the hours. Most of the time I play games an hour or two at the most 3-4 times a week. On the other hand I watch half a dozen movies a week or more.
