Hi all have a villa in calis, my boys are 14 and 16 , trying to hold to hold onto them as long as I can , to avoid the 18 to 30's, what do you sudgest, I know I seem dramatic but I think they do get board espcially after 2 weeks with ancient people 42 and 48, no jokes please, I Love my kid's. want to buy a second hand playstation 2 and probably a cheap tv from migros, do I just plug it in and thats it in turkey Thanx Bee.
-
Yes you do, and get the PS2 in the UK, probably Ebay best - they are way cheaper.
Don't forget to bring a 3 pin to 2 pin socket adapter.
-
Thankyou!
-
Don't forget the leads to plug PS2 into TV either
-
Works fine. If you get a green screen rather than full colour go into menu screen and change video setting to RGB. This happned when we first plugged ours in to a Turkish TV. Great way of keeping me and the boys occupied when not doing other things.
-
...and you can also use it as a DVD player as a PS2 bought in the UK is Region 2 just like Turkey
-
I got a little portable TV from Migros a couple of years ago, I think I paid about £40 for it and it does the job just fine.
-
HappyMonday if the same region as Turkey does that mean the playstation games in Turkey and DVDs from Turkey will play on the UK playstation? just thinking of sending some to the UK.
I did read some report that the DVDs will not work as they are copies, is this right?
thanks
-
They will work, Lozzo.
I know this because I brought my DVD player from the UK, which is the same really, but the other way round.
I am not sure about playing DVD's on a PS2 - I know you can, but don't you need to get a PS2 remote control?

scunnyyo now I am confused? :-\ ps2 remote control?
now I think I have this right, the games will work if I send them to the UK. the DVD's is debatable.
This heat has got to the grey matter and taking a little longer to comprehend.

Ah sorry [:o]
I had a totally misunderstanderisation of your question. I thought you were asking about Turkish DVD copies in UK DVD players. I have now grasped the nettle of you enquisitation.
Turkish DVD film copies will work in UK DVD Players
Turkish PS2 copies will work in UK PS2's that have been chipped.
Please Loz, don't reply asking what "chipped" means, ask one of your grandchildren ;)

PS2 at ASDA £98.00 1 game, 1 remote control, 2 hand controls put it in a laptop bag and carry over as hand luggage. It will play UK DVDs, Cd's and UK games it will play Turkish originals DVDs Cd's and games but not copies to do that you have to chip it and that cancels out the warranty. :)

I too have some kids who have 47 different ways of saying "I'm bored" and I actually refuse to consider PS2's and other brain numbing equipment being on holiday with us.
The best thing we have to keep them amused are bicycles!!!! We have bought ours but they can now be hired on the sea front.
So, equipped with a few lira off they go to places where they know there are pool tables, swimming pools, table tennis tables, Sky Sports, beach etc. They know a few bar men and go to say hello and play backgammon.
They buy a keebab at the Mangal or a snack lunch somewhere and then back to the Villa having spent the day communicating with each other in sentences consisting of more than three mono syllabic grunts.
I may be imagining it but they did seem to be better for having the umbilical chord to the games console cut for a few weeks.
I know all kids are different but it is just a suggestion......
Have a great holiday
-

Trainer thank you so much for the easy to understand answer..:D even though I needed a magnifying glass to read the reply.[:o)]

mmmmmmm......
sorry for trying (and failing) to help...
Hope you all enjoy your holiday.
We did, and I am sure you will too.
Best wishes.

Phil I agree with so much of what you say, and although watching children on bikes in the area and some of the crazy happenings on the roads, I still agree to getting the kids out and about.
my question was a reversal Turkey to uk dvd and games, I got the answer, I need a chip (where does the fish go!) Also the PS2 belongs to a huge kid of 24years old.
:D

The problem looks far worse looking from the outside.
I also "get on my bike" and I feel safer on a Turkish road than an English one !!
Turkish drivers have far more respect for bicycles.
A friendly toot as they come up behind you to say "be careful I'm coming past" and then they give you a wide berth.
I agree that standing on the pavement watching traffic anywhere can be scary but I believe that Turkish drivers are actually very considerate (mad, but more considerate).
They may not stick to the highway code but they do take their usual politeness into the car with them.
I am certainly as happy for our kids to be on the roads in Calis as the roads in our home town.
