I've heard good things about Teac on this forum, hehe.

A PlayStation 2!

hah Goa'uld yeah sure

Woo Trog

I don't know why people complain about the DVD player in the PSX2, we rented out a few DVDs the other day and it was just as good as our neighbours!

Bah! that Teac one that Target, Myer Kmart Etc etc have is damn good for 279 bucks! it does more stuff then a 500 dorrah sony one does... and it plays mp3 disks too ;) as well as CD-Rs.. over all its a damn good player which id like if i hadnt have bought my tight-ass sony one.. go TEAC all the way ( oh Teac has good warranities too (I sell hi-fi equipment as my job so i know all :P)

Sony is great, but it doesn't do MP3 or CDR etc..... but who gives a f*** - thats why you have a computer.

hmmm very helpful, I must remember to post more serious questions here more often :D

But here is some handy info DVD NUTS

hahaha

im taking my Teac back tomorrow

HIJACK:

WHAT IS A GOOD DVD PLAYER FOR ABOUT $300???

Yeah - this board is actually a pretty good wealth of knowledge when you really wanna know something. Has some top spammers too :) Best of both worlds :)

Phar, go to JB HiFi in the city, they had some FANTASTIC deals on VCR's and DVD players when I went in boxing day, I argued $40 off a already discounted VCR player cause I paied cash

Their DVD players started at about $250 and went to about $600

They had a Hitachi for $330 which I'm sure you could argue down

mmm hitachi

Sif Hitachi.... get a good brand ffs.

I have Hitachi DVD-ROMS for both of my PC's and they're f***ing excellent, one is 3 years old and it has always worked, even with f***ed up cds with big scratches etc

If you want a 'good' brand like Sony, Panasonic, JVC or Volvo, you'll be expected to pay a LOT more like $150-200 just for the brand name!

Volvo make DVD players??? wtf?? lol..

yeah, you do pay more, but you get better quality longer lasting components.

lol VOLVO DVD players boxy but safe :D
Hi Phar

The DVD would prolly skip easy, cos they have soft suspension :P

Orion I tells ya!

Get a Pioneer, you can pick up region unlocked ones for about $350-

I have 2 Pioneer roms at home with a dvd player, and same again at work, none of them have a problem and they all look sweet and have a nice crisp image

I think he is talking about Set tops.. not roms.

u think?

hey what's that deal with the twins?

one always wears pink and the other light blue.

I have no idea... we should both..

wtf is the point of that game?

I mean wtf do u do?

is it like that barbie game where u get to dress her up?

i dont think its really a game.

dunno but i can help get whatever clue they are looking for

Yes it is...
I have no idea, but who gives a flying fark....

Its got them on the front, what else matters?

if u get to see them naked in 8bit textures...

hell naked in anything would be fine with me as long as i can make out which bit is which

mmmm, commodore 64!

be sure to get a region selectable (ie. changeable with unlimited changes) one rather than a 'world region' one (ie. accepts any region without changing) coz some newer dvds can detect that and won't play.

I wonder if u can get a dvd rom for the commodore.

I have a 5-disc Pioneer (DVC-503) that is not region locked (I don't have to select regions - it just plyas them regardless). It's good, except they don't do mp3's.

doober: what dvd's do that? I heard of that about a year ago, but we have LOTS of DVD's here (probably upwards of 110 now) including some recent ones (FF, The Mummy Ultimate Edition thingo, Simpsons). Actually I haven't played FF or Mummy on it yet, but everything else works on mine.

I ended up getting a Pioneer DV-344 which has everything I wanted except mp3 decoder, ah well thats what my PC is for I guess. Thanks to all the helpful ppl who replied to this thread.

Sif you would buy a PS2 to play dvd's.
