Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If you want to take better advantage of the PS2's DVD capabilities then the DVD Region X is a great device that allows you to "convert" your console into a multi-region player. The pack is basically a software disc which you insert into your machine; it displays a menu on your screen with all the regions (1 to 6) and lets you choose which zone the film you want to play belongs to. You then remove the disk and insert your DVD (using your controller and PS2 browser to select the film) and you'll have multi-region playback from your humble games machine.
A side issue is that the disk also solves the "green screen" problem caused by Sony's modifying the RGB signal to better accommodate video games--which typically results in DVDs having a rather sickly tint. The device even allows you to play the increased security coded disks (Regional Coding Enhancement) which manage to foil most chipped DVD players.
Older versions of this product included a "key" which fit into one of the memory card slots, but because Datel discovered there was a potential for piracy, with this version you just get the disc and have to provide your own dedicated and formatted memory card. It's best to use a new one as when it's formatted it will erase any saved game data. Also, gamers owning early PlayStation 2s may find that the software does not work with their machine.
Despite this, the DVD Region X is definitely the easiest and most cost-effective way of playing DVDs from any region, and the savings you make and kudos you get from having seen films on DVD before they've been released in the UK is more than worth the cost of an extra memory card. --Kristen Bowditch
Product Description
Datel's DVD Region X lets you play import DVDs from any region on your PlayStation 2. No modifications to your console are needed--just load up the DVD Region X disc, select the region you require on screen, then sit back and watch your movie. DVD Region X also removes the "green screen" effect that normally occurs when you try to watch any DVD on a PlayStation 2 via SCART or RGB. Note: you will need a dedicated, formatted memory card to use this product; if you use an existing one your game-saves will be erased.

I feel sorry for those who have had trouble with this product, but I havent had any problems and find Region X to be fantastic !
Firstly lets lay some troubles to rest....
Region X is very very easy to use, you *dont need* a manual. All you have to do is -
Put the Region X disc in,
select the region you want,
and then place your DVD in the PS2.
Also please make sure you have a NTSC compatible televison otherwise its all pointless.
But I have to say I love Region X. Im a big Japanese animation freak and so this has opened up the Region 1 world to me ! The picture is flawless imho - with no tinting and no fuzziness. Again Im sorry to hear about problems others have had with this, but I myself cant recommend Region X enough.

I own a multi region Pioneer DV717 but unfortunately some of the newer region 1 DVD's have been specially encrypted so they wont play on most multi region players (including mine). When I tried this Region X with Hollow Man (region 1 new encrypted) I wasnt expecting it to work as my Pioneer Multi region cant play it...............but it did!!!!
You will be able to play any dvd from any region in seconds, just plug and play. For some dvds, (any region) you may need a proper scart lead that supports RGB, because some films will display in a strange grey/green colour with the naff standard euro/scart lead.

Fun:
I bought this product a year back but I can say that it does what it is supposed to do.
I have played region 1 DVDs on European PS2 using this. The only drawback is that everytime the console is switched off, I have to repeat the steps of loading the software.

Useless
Doesn't work with the new slimline model and it should say so. Totally worthless, might as well buy a multi region DVD player because it can't change your PS2

Re-review
With reference to my earlier reccomendation, the DVD region X, works excellently with the older PS2. So for those who have it, I think its an excellent buy.
