Pardon my ignorance but is it possible to copy video games onto blank DVDs? Say I want to copy a game for the playstation 2, can it be done succesfully onto a dvd and then played on the playstation 2? What platform is necessary to copy a game?

Then you have to do some trickery with the Playstation 2 console itself, as it contains firmware that detects the presence of non-original discs. This is overcome with the installation of a 'modchip', but it can be a pain in the ar5e and of course invalidates your warranty. A second method is to use a special boot disk, which is simply inserted before you put your copied game in, and is much more preferable if you don't fancy getting the soldering iron out!
