    A friend of mine had the same thing happen to him with an american ps2. His went green as far as I remember with MGS2. Anyway he fixed it by changing the settings in the ps2 (as far as I remember). He comes back from America today so I'll ask him for sure when I see him.

    Make sure the settings are "pal" not ntsc. Messing around with the settings should solve the problem.

    Over here, we use PAL. So yes, you need a yank TV. Or just go into your local TV shop, and ask for a NTSC TV.

    Or you could get an RGB cable for the PS2. RGB is a universal standard and should work if your TV supports it. Had the same problem with my japanese saturn.

    I think its to do with the Hertz of the TVs. European TVs are mainly 50 hertz, but yank TVs are 60. So things come out black and white if you try to mix a yank PS2 with a european TV and vice versa.
