Personally I think the whole "PS2 DVD player isn't as good as a stand alone one" argument is BS. I originally bought the PS2 at launch as a DVD player and used it for a good 4 years (half of it with component video & optical out.) I started getting DREs then I was able to swap it for a new one with progressive scan and it's worked find ever since. The only problem I ever had was that it was a tad slow navigating through menus.

Oh wait...nvm...it was actually Video Power Season 1:

It was an animated Johnny Arcade and the Power Team. It was characters from Acclaim and Williams games.

@ Mike:

I know what show you are talking about. It had Quirk the Tomato, BigFoot, Simon Belmont, etc. I can't remember the name of the show either.

...and of course leave to Joystiq to start a false rumor and then act as if it is 100% fact.

"Video Power"

YES! That show was awesome! I so wanted to be on it too.

As for the Nickelodeon shows...those things were crap. Hell the hosts didn't even try to sound seriously interested in the game either.

@ Dave Silva:

Well technically the DVDs are put out by Nintendo, they are put out by Shout! Factory. So there is a 'slim' chance Captain N 'might' come out.

Anyone remember that game show where if you and your partner were the winning team, you got to run thru a maze with a velcro suit and grab games before the clock ran out? I forgot what it was called...

Comment #7 is the stupid thing I've read all day.

"Also it is worth to note that the Xbox did lose over 1 billion dollars"

Try $4 billion...not $1 billion.

Dude don't bash "Do the Mario"... EVERY friend that I've brought this up with totally remembers it. I also own the DVDs for the Mario TV show AND the Zelda show.

Just ignore the star system...it's biased and isn't used ina fair manner.
