1. Use periods please. It makes your posts far easier to read and people can help you much more when they can read your post than when they have to figure it out.

2. I've never heard anything about using the PS2 as a DVD being bad for the PS2. Unless your PS2 starts acting wierd, I wouldn't worry about it.

O.K. Mr.Perfect I was in a hurry. Sorry for not using correct puncuation. I'll be sure to always put periods.

I haven't used my PS2 as a DVD player since early 2001...that didn't seem to hurt the system though.

I haven't really heard about it...where'd you hear it?

If using the PS2 as a DVD player was bad for the PS2, do you honestly think they would have incorporated it into the system.

And don't call Ginkasa Mr. Perfect. If you were in a hurry, posting a question here was obviously not the right thing to be doing at that point in time. I'm going to ask you to take part in a 6 week time management program before you come back here. That is all for now, you are dismissed.

if it was it would be bad to play games too.

its doing the same thing. DVD drive. reading a DVD, doesnt matter if that DVD has a movie on it or a Game.

He means the games are stored on DVD format discs.

You know, he's right. Don't call Ginkasa "Mr. Perfect"... Using correct puncuation doesn't really take long nor is it a hassle. Everyone here does it. (Just saying it for your own good).

As for the PS2 DVD, maybe... 2 years ago when I was watching The Matrix and Gladiator on my PS2, my PS2 started to act wierd and suddenly stop playing some games... But then I realized it wasn't the DVD's that screwed up my PS2, but it was the dust that went inside my PS2. But I have heard from several people that the laser/lens get weaker when playing DVD's (just a rumour that I heard from a few people).
