The PS2 DVD player is a whole bunch of no good. It crushes blacks and adds too much enhancement (line detail). It also has a an overscan of 9% so if your TV has an overscan of 5% you just lost an extra 4%. And on top of all that it has a lovely contrast flicker that starts up in any bright scene.
Those of you who have no idea what i'm talking about dont need to worry about it, you probably wouldn't notice a difference watching a karp DVD player or a good one. But for people like me (completely anal about picture quality) the PS2 DVD is worth its weight in mule shit.
The XBox DVD player is better but still no where near as good as a stand alone proscan DVD player through S (better fine color detail) or component (better overall picture quality) or of course DVI, the mother of all inputs.
Which the Revolution has an output for, so says IGN. It's gonna be spiffy... I just hope its 5.1/7.1 out of the box like the rumors are suggesting... all video games should use true 5.1 with dedicated multi-channel sound... *masturbates*
