I know they will play on the Playstation 2, but I want to know about the regular Playstation. Will standard DVD's play on that - and how would I control it? With the joystick/contraol thing?

no
each generation of playstation seems to be able to do something additional
ps could only play games and music discs
ps2 could play games, music discs, and most dvds
ps3 can play games, and bluray (not sure/don't care if it plays CDs or DVDs)
i hear rumors that ps4 will also have a built in refridgerator!
no, there are no modifications to make a first generation playstation play a DVD

Nope sorry. The Playstation will NOT play DVD's like the PS2 or PS3 can. I think it is because of the way it was made cause the PS2 + PS3 look way different from the first one. I guess that the Sony company got more advanced as the system did also.

It's True. Back then, in the Playstation ( 1 ) days, DVD was an advanced technology, kinda like Blu-Ray is today.

This question is an often one, so that's my cut & paste answer: 1). 20GB has no chrome trim, no memory card reader and no wi-fi. Not manufactured anymore. Has the best backwards compatibility with PS2 games due to Emotion Engine (PS2's CPU) and Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU) installed. 2). NTSC 60GB has the same backwards compatibility as 20GB version, also has memory card reader and wi-fi. Has a chrome trim. 3). 80GB - extended memory, but reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games, it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Available only in NTSC regions. 4). 40GB - can't play PS2 games at all (all PS2 chips were removed), has 2 USBs instead of 4, no memory card reader, has wi-fi. SACD isn't supported. Avalable in black and white colors. White is on sale only in Japan. Uses 65nm technology (lower power consumption). Improved cooling system. It's the latest version. 5). PAL 60GB - reduced backwards compatibility with PS2 games. it has only Graphics Synthesizer (PS2's GPU). Around 80% of PS2 games can be played. Wi-fi included in all models, except 20GB. Apart from that, they are all the same, play Blu-ray and regular movies, music.
