PS2 Getting DVD Upgrade & Progressive Video?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insert-lust-here dept.

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."

    I mean should I wait for this to come out, will it cost an assload more that $199? I haven't owned a gaming console since the Atari 2600 and I was considering buy a ps2. And what of the ps3? I heard rumors that was going to come out a lot sooner than expected.

    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?
