Christmas gift question for Playstation owners

[dzrose93]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting my boyfriend a DVD player for Christmas. His roommate told me last night that Playstation plays DVDs in addition to regular video games. Do any of y'all with Playstations use it to play DVDs? If so, is it a good quality picture or do you think I'd be better off buying a regular DVD player?

I know NOTHING about Playstation, so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
