I think its safe to say that the ways of the PS2 DVD player are mysterious. And no, they don't all work... mine has problems with dozens of DVDs. Others it seems to like just fine. To contrast, although yes, I did have to pay 30 bucks for the remote (but, then I bought a 30 buck remote for the PS2 dvd player as well), I have never had a problem with my X-Box DVD player.2) I have a fairly modest system by todays standards, (P 1ghz, Geforce 3), and I run GTA3 just fine. No choppy. And while GTA:VC won't be out for the 'box, it will still be out for the PC... the PS2 exclusive thing only applies to consoles.3) Too many people dismiss the entire DOA series as being nothing but a T&A game. It's not. It's one of the best fighting games there are, IMO. Yes, up through DOA2 on the Dreamcast, DOA wasn't that hot. It's alot better now. Rent a 'box and play it before you dismiss it. As for what the PS2 has... well, it has buckets and buckets of medicore or worse fighting games... Tekken is one of the few it has that are any good, and frankly I prefer DOA to Tekken.4) In terms of games like that, not a ton. The Onimushi (sp?) series, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, Shenmu... none of those are quite the same thing, though, I'll grant. About the only wierd one I can think of is Toejam and Earl... maybe Dragon Lair 3D, but I havn't played that one.5) So-so, and no.6) Eh... that's a gamble with any console. I wouldn't bet the farm on backwards compatibility for the PS3 though.7) *shrug*</blockquote>
