It also gets rid of the 'green effect' when playing a DVD on RGB Scart. Very clever stuff. What you have to do is boot up off of the CD they give you (it must be a complete cold boot, otherwise the PS2 won't accept the disc) Then you select what region you want to play from 1-6. Press X and it ejects the DVD-drive. Place in the film that you want, close the drive, and then the PS2 reboots itself to the browser screen where you simply click on the DVD and it boots. Very clever stuff indeed. Check out www.play247.com I think they are selling it for £17.99 with free postage. Also look at www.dvdregionx.com for more info Bob "Kenny Millar" wrote in message news:9je66u$36i4@www.netyaroze-europe.com... > I saw a nifty device for the PS2 in HMV yesterday. > You slot it into the memory card slot and - hey presto - you have a > region-free playstation (for playing DVDs from any region) !
