Some Adult DVDs won't play on my PS2 but the will play on my Toshiba DVD player. I don't get why. It's not the parental lock because I never have it set. Mostly its evil angel discs. Does anyone else experience this problem?

Pornboy,

You might try emailing Tricia Devereaux on this matter. I know that Evil Angel try to test many of their DVD's on different players in order to find incompatibilities. Maybe she would have some further informtion on your particular player and EA discs.

I've had a couple problems here and there, not many though, I've had more problems with my JVC, which also has few problems. David Crawford at one time sent me some great information on the PS2 DVD playing capabilities. Hopefully he'll see this thread and post it here because I don't have the info anymore.

PornBoy - several of us at Evil Angel have PS2s. It seems like the ones that were bought before about June 2002 have problems playing some DVDs, and the ones bought after about June 2002 haven't had problems playing DVDs.

A call to Sony's PS division got a denial that anything was changed in the system between 2001 and mid-2002.

I believe they have changed the DVD driver since then.

Also they're about to drop the price on their current ps2s to about 180, to make way for their new model ps2 which has progressive scan dvd playback, a network adaptor, and built in IR dvd remote.

Good job Guys, especially Tricia who defintiely did her homework on Sony's PS2 DVd players. I'll be the third to say yes Sony did change its Dvd specs on its ps2's between 2001 & 2002 only because of the introduction in late 2001 of the Blue Laser that reads the DVd when Playing. Why? Not to make there product better but to compete with the X-Box.X-box advertised months after PS2 was first released that it would have progressive scan(Blue Laser) & other features that where introduced into the marketplace after the PS2 was initially released. So without saying anything to the consumer Sony quietly upgraded the PS2 so they could save themselves the trouble of re-marketing, returns & refunds & also save some muscle for their marketing campaign for the upcoming PS3 which will feature HD or High def compatible DVd features which is the next & final step in the DVD player evolution. Now the question is, will DVD's have a higher success rate with the Blue Laser or HD. Time will only tell!

The information about the "blue" laser DVD is incorrect. There are plans for blue laser DVD mechanisms but NONE are currently marketed.

Sony has made 3 driver changes and 1 hardware change in the DVD on their PS2 equipment but I cannot give you dates.
