    The Playstation 2 was heralded as the first console with DVD support. It was pretty damn dodgy on the Japanese release and the US one seems to work pretty well.

    So the question is, will there be a linux release of a dvd player for PS2? Will it be open source? And if so, will it include the ever so popular DeCSS code?
