my friend left his ps2 here...since the xbox w/ remote is gone w/ my other aptmate, i want to use my friend's ps2 to play a dvd movie...but in the browser, i see a memory card, and the disc logos...

i select the disc logo and it goes back to the browser...what gives?

If it is a burnt DVD it might not like the media. The older PS2s didn't really like +R media. However I have the PS2 that came with GT3 and mine plays +R just fine.

PS2's only play burnt DVDs if they are chipped....

I would make sure the DVD is right side up :p If that isnt working, then make sure it works on your computer or some other dvd player, the dvd itself might be bad.

If you turn the PS2 off, then back on, and then open the tray and put the DVD in, it should auto play.

WRONG. My PS2 is not chipped and plays burnt DVDs perfectly fine.
