Verdict? Doesn't bleedin bloody bloomin play in either my PC or my PS2

Anyone here got it to play (or not) ? Bought it many miles away..

Yep I've made it work in my PS2 with no problems whatsoever, so I can only assume that is a faulty disc.
Since it is unlikely to be a region problem, as it is a region 2 disc and a UK spec PS2 isnt it? If it isn't then I may have a suggestion.

I to thought about getting this mainly due to the Tuscan R on the front cover. You'll have to let me know how much coverage it gets if you manage to get it to play.

Cheers,

Not a lot really. What you may have seen at the motor show is nearly half of its coverage in total, I would guess but I didn't time it so I can't be sure. Basically he chickens out or more likely was asked not to use it too much since it is their main demonstration car.

yup region 2 all round - dodgy DVD then I'd say. The PS2 has always played all the other discs from the little shop up the road, and even had a crack at an American one too (no colour was the loss)

Byron I'll have a go when I get a replacement (though due to copyright issues I obvioulsy WONT have a go. And when I've finished NOT having a go I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT send you an email telling you where it is).

you're not reading between the lines hard enough Byron!...

Anyway, bought it from Costco in Reading - £15ish. I expect as it's Xmas it wont be the hardest thing to find in WHSmith, Woolworth, Boots, HMV, Virgin... all those places I try to avoid as Yuletide looms. Humbug. As Reading probably isnt too near you (from your profile).. try searching www.amazon.co.uk for 'clarkson' with 'DVD' selected.

Just in case you were interested, there is a chance that your PS2 is playing your Region 1 DVD OK - the problem may be with your TV not being able to do NTSC to PAL conversion properly. This often leads to black and White images.

The other possibility is that you need to use an RGB SCART lead in order to play Region 1 discs if the PS2 supports that.

I am sure you are not interested, but there it is, just in case you are

I am appalled at the suggestion of breaching the copyright law and I too would NOT like to receive an email.

Thank you

I think it would be a terrible infringment of copyright if it should end up on Kazaa.

Tis the very same, Tuscan R is on for a brief period (about a minute, maybe less) straight after the aforementioned Tamora demolishes a Porsche Boxster S.

When it hasn't been uploaded to Kazaa and isn't available for sharing would someone mail me what not to search on on Kazaa?

If you get my drift....
