Do you still?

I did get it fixed. I am in gaming heaven agaian...sign. Love this system. It is sooo much fun.

Well, like what I've already mentioned, the one's I know that some techies do with their PlayStation 2s, they do something with the network adapter and a hard disk drive. The hard disk though is dependent on the model of the PlayStation 2 console so I guess even if you want a very high hard disk so that you can load it up with so much games, let's say an 80 Gigabytes can carry 20 games, assuming that all games would be around 4 Gigabytes, if its not compatible with your PlayStation 2, you'd just have to look for one that its compatible with. Some say that other consoles can only run with 120 Gigabyte Hard disk while others with 160 Gigabyte. If it were only quick swap, you know? Have a couple of Hard disks around with loaded games in alphabetical or by category and you'd plug it in depending on the title that you want. Similar to putting another DVD but, hey, at least games would surely run faster since loading time isn't anymore dependent on the readability of the disc and lens. Of course, some modifications still enable the console to play games using the lens and even copy games into the hard disk through the console's lens as well but, most often, they'd load it through their computers than to tediously copy one title at a time. Well, you can look up HD Loader in the net for a similar way on modifying. Modified or not, hope you can play games again on that PlayStation 2 of yours

Oh you are sooooo getting rated a plus. That rocks. Thanks for the tips. I love it. I will have to do some "splorin'" on the net today. Take care. See you around here.

Oh, you have my interest now: Tell me about this mod of the hard drive. I really want that.

The PS3 is impressive however, it isn't what is called "backwards compatible" in the gaming industry, meaning that the older PS2 and PS1 games can not be played on it. They have chosen to have a new system where you have to buy the games on the net and play them. If you already have them; that just bites. Also, the games are not great so far. The graphics are impressive; but the selection is too small. I am going to fix my broken PS2 or actually buy a new one if I can't fix it, since I have so many PS2 games that I very much still play and enjoy. I love the thing. I may one day buy the PS3; but it has to be compatible with my other games first.

No they are not compatible with the old games of the previous playstations, and games can be downloaded off the net and actually they are very good prices, hubby has had a couple. But I guess in time the games selection will grow and then it will not be so bad!

Yes, I still have my PS1, and use it to this day. I modded it out to a blue "jelly" cover some time back. I will try to shoot a pic. of it today and share it on here. It's still my preferred sound: the boot up sound. I actually want to; (and this shows what a gamer geek I am LOL), get that sound somewhere and replace my windows boot-up sound with that. (There are still games I play on Windows)

Yes I really love that sound too. Man I miss my good old consoles.

What are your favorite games for this console? Are you a fan of shooters? Do you like the simulation aspect of gaming experience or do you like another aspect of it? I really enjoy the way you feel a part of the game in some of these games. It's a way to relax a bit. I think the adrenaline aspect of things can get fun also in shooters.

Well, for starters I am a dudette not a dude. Anyway, I love way too many to list them all. My fist game was Tomb Raider in the simulation fantasy category. Then Silent Hill, Kingdom Hearts, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor. There's a ton more; but these are the ones that I bought each game as a fan, as they were released.

in shooters i love calll of duty and BLACK they are just simply awesome games which i loved playing and total overdose and there are many shooter games what games u play dude

I have the Wii as well. You will love it if you get into the games like I do. My BF used to laugh at me when I would play the shooters and would almost throw the controller in the direction of the movement. The Wii is great for this because you have to move your arms. Whoot! It rocks.[i][/i][u][/u]

Sony is buggy; that's for sure. I will never pay more than $200. for a new Sony system. I wait until it comes down because of the bugs. Anyway, I still love and play Grand Turismo 3, Paraapa the Rappar (sp?), Gex 1-3, Tomb Raider has been transferred to my PS2 now with theupdates, which I loved, and which I feel I had something to do with. (I wrote the producers and owners of the Tomb Raider francise and asked, several ways, for the Tomb Raider one to be put into the next gen. software, and whammo! Anniversary appeared. Yes!) I also love and still play: Tetris, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy: all of the games over and again to find all of the "Easter Eggs"; Cool Boarders 3, and several others. There are too many to name. Basically, I play them as the urge hits, I try different things in the game each time, and now I also try new cheats to see things. It's sad really LOL. But! I love it.

I am a huge Tomb Raider fan as well, obviously. The music is brilliant. Don't you think?

I know; me as well. If they had made the new system back-wards compatible I would have been tempted, once the price came down. Since they were greedy and made it so you had to buy the games again online; forget that!

Oh, that's too funny. I don't have children; but I do have a God-daughter. So, I don't have to share with kids. I do think that it could be fun to be able to understand what your kids are talking about; which I would. So ,many parents are clueless about this sort of thing.I think "mommy" would have to have her own if I did, just to be fair to the kids. LOL By the way, I got my system back up and running. I basically took it apart and replaced the motor that had burned out. Put it back together, and I am back in the gaming seat. Oh yeah!

Let's hope they change the "backwards compatible thing". I doubt they will though.

I know, the PS3 is something that I can't choose at the moment. I also have heard that the PS4 is coming anyway, and perhaps It will play my old games as welkl as my new ones. Cheers
