Play Region 1 DVDs On A Japanese PS2

Posted by timothy on from the regions-are-for-wine dept.

skeller writes, "The Gaming Intelligence Agency has a story about a way to play Region 1 DVDs on a Playstation 2 (which is set by default for Region 2). You just enter in some codes on the controller during boot up. Dunno why it works, but sort of an interesting little tidbit. " The site cautions that the success rate is only about 50% (depending on which of the suggested codes you try), but since it's a non-invasive procedure, it sounds like an experiment worth trying ... if you can get your hands on a PlayStation 2.
