I have and the picture is so-so and the audio is hideous. Any $40 player is better than the PS2 that I used, seriously. Game Consoles seem to be dreadful for watching movies in my experience. Most of the gamers( As a boomer I am too old to get it.) that I know completely agree. They have a separate DVD player for movies.

I used PS/2 as my DVD player for years - 4season 17:02:02 07/02/07 (1)
Call me ignorant, but until the Toshiba HD-A20 arrived, I was using an earlier Playstation 2 as my DVD player via component video, mostly on a 27" Samsung "HD ready" CRT, and with the TV doing the deinterlacing, and I was reasonably happy, except for the fan noise and the touchiness with dirty/scratched disks.

With the 32" Sharp LCD, the PS/2 no longer looked so hot: Too obviously pixelized. PS/3 is said to do it's scaling in software, so I'd expect that firmware updates could considerably improve it.

  As the poster above said, you could have gotten a $40 DVD player that would blow the picture quality the PS2 was giving so it doesn't appear it was a major concern for you then.
