PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video?

blues5150 writes "ZDNET is reporting that Sony is going to be upgrading the PlayStation 2. According to the article "The new design will support most recordable DVD media, including DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW. The new PS2 will also support "progressive scan", a playback method used by some TV sets for clearer images, and it will come with a built-in infrared receiver for using a remote control to control DVD playback." The bad part of all of this is that they don't have dates for availability in North America or Europe."

A little OT question... by FroMan · 2003-04-15 02:47 · Score: 1, Offtopic

A little while back I bought a remote for my playstation 2 which came with a CD with software on it. Just put in the remote control reciever into a controller slot and it didn't work so I put the CD that came with it and installed the software, after which now most movies play really chunky on the playstation 2. Anyone else run into that?
