Ps2

Besides being able to play burnt games, does chipping a PS2 make it a REGION FREE dvd player as well?

Would i be able to play PAL formatted movies on it?

I know its not recommended to use ur PS2 as a dvd player...chipped or not...but I was wondering
is there such a thing for the standalone dvd player? Can you do something to make it region free?

There are some brands of DVD players that you can pick up that actually come region free. Needless to say, they're probably brands we've never heard of but if it's region free and serves it's purpose then why not?
