irst of all you obviously haven't played xbox live. See, this is the 21st century. Big servers cost alot of money. So a small fee of 9.95 a month pays for that. If you've ever played a MMORPG like everquest or asherons call or lineage you would understand. A 9.95 dollar fee for EVERY xbox game is a good deal. Thats not bull crap. You're paying for QUALITY. PS2 online is crap! People come and play games on phoneline, you cant play fast paced action and have a headset and play with people with phoneline. There is no lag on xbox live its like playing on a LAN, you MUST have broadband to play xbox live. Xbox live had downloadable content so you can get new maps and vehicles etc for your game.  Btw, you dont need to buy a dvd remote, you can just hack your xbox and it will do lots of things including dvd playback without remove. Also, the xbox remote is very nice, and most homebrew programs support it. I can select files from my network (say from my pc) such as a VCD or DVD movie and play it on my TV, or just transfer it to my xbox and play it from there. Also, you dont even need to hack your xbox to do that anymore, Microsoft has a MCE 2005 Xbox DVD you can buy.



Dont talk because crap is just coming out of your mouth.


EDIT: The xbox is large, but its also twice as powerful as a PS2. And it can fit in a backpack so you can move it around, or in a suitcase. It's the same size as most other TV equipment.

You know, some of us aren't spoiled brats and have better things to do with money than pay $10 every month to play Xbox online. YOU'VE obviously never played PS2 online, for lots of PS2 games are now broadband only. Yes, you can have lots of fun with broadband.

As for the feces coming out of our mouths, you wouldn't know, cuz you've never heard, seen (or smelled) us talk; this is an online mb. We're using our fingers. Also, respect others.

Also, with the size, we didn't say anything about it being twice as powerful as a PS2, the fact is it's still bulkier. A word of friendly advice in your arguments, try not to diverge from the point when your argument has objectively been shot down, accept defeat for that, and then come back with another argument.

Ooh. Japa Crapa. Ouch. I think you people should listen to the admin.

As for PS vs XBox, it is true that PS is slimmer, cooler, smaller, etc. I'll stay with the XBox simply because I like the name. Thre, you happy?

=/ People still play consoles?

I sold my PS2 ages ago to buy a better PC and never looked back. Consoles are too weak andy why pay for Xbox live when you can pay like that bit extra and have the internet on a PC to play online games and also do much more tongue.gif

I was wondering this same thing. This is for my boyfriend in the military. He is going to be gone for training out in the middle of no where. He has the tiny PS2 and a laptop. There will be no TV where he is. He could take the PS2 and laptop with him, but how does he play his PS2 games using the laptop? Basically, he just needs his laptop to pretend it is a TV.

I connected a USB Memory Stick to my PS2, nothing happened.

With a Action Preplay Pro or something you can save your save on it.

@sonu27, probably you would need a chipped ps2. i doubt action replay can mess with it confused.gif
i know some modchips let you use non-sony HD devices to be used as memcards or like game backups, i've read about it a few minutes ago. another important thing is that they let you save ps2-apps like media players on the memcard, this is a really nice feature as you can see your favorite divx movies without having a portable or home dvd player smile.gif (most important: is not illegal newwink.gif)

But isnt having your PS2 modded in itself illegal now? I know Sony are trying to get the laws changed so that even owning or selling the modchips are illegal, and if I remember right, in some countries they have succeeded.

as far as i know, only in england some1 has been sued for selling modchips. he was condened but the legal process is not finished yet.
maybe some other country has laws against it but here, on my country, that's not the case.
i find logical that if you use your ps2 to watch your favorite vcds or play backups of your games (not possible without the chip), it isn't illegal.

No it is possible to save onto memory sticks.

Search google I'm sure you'll find something.

I heard from another forum you can, I think it was gtaforums.net.

You take lots of pictures in GTA: SA and save them on the stick, then use a programme on you PC to decode the files.

buy hundreds of dollars of perhiperals to make the ps2 run linux and uhh burnt games, or pay nothing except for the xbox console and make it do anything (I mean anything computer-wise, actually better for roms and such, because you got the controller and the old fuzzy television) and be completely portable (it can fit in a backpack along with controllers and wires)

And now USB keys are the media of choice to save photos from Gran Turismo 4 photo mode (plain jpegs). Pretty neat, I think.

From what I've read and seen, almost anything (even an Ipod) will work. A few people said their SanDisk Cruzer Mini didn't work, but mine works fine thumbup.gif .
