If you're talking about movies, thats crap too, seeing as the games are taking more of the system's power than the movies are, and when playing FMVs are doing the exact same thing. I've had mine for years and I watch movies on it more than I play games, and it works better than my brother's which is about a year newer and has never had a movie played in it because my mom believes that stupid rumor.

You can believe that if you want, but it's like saying a CD player wasn't made to play CDs
DVD movies are being constantly read by the PS2 for the entire two hours they're playing. Games load up the info they need for that area or whatever, and then are much less active. That's what those loading screens are for.
And thinking PS2 FMVs are in DVD video format is ludacris, considering a game with 30 minutes of fmvs would have an entire quarter of the disk used up right from the start. Yah, all the FMVs on your PC games are in .mpeg format, too!
