PS2, Possible to hook up a hard drive to it?


Recommended Posts

Hey you all,

Simple question here, the extra bay area on the PS2... Would it be possible to hook up a hardrive to it? Do you think this is possibly a feature we've yet to see from Sony? Will it only accept a certain hardrive from Sony?

- Just some questions I was wondering.

The biggest thing I like about the XBox is the 40GB hard drive, no need to continue purchasing little 8MB memory cards, 40GB's is enough to hold a lifetime of video game saves :)

It would be killer if we could hook a hard drive up to our PS2!

whoa.. where did you hear that? It's advertised as 10GB but it's... for most people.. only 8GB. That's still alot of game saves but i'm just wondering where you heard 40GB?

Sony has released a HDD for the PS2 already in Jap. They SOLD OUT!!! :) And right now ... they are only selling Jap. Compatable Version.

EDIT : There is an Internal (Goes in the expansion bay) and an external (the one you see in the pics above). Both have, I think, the 40gb hdd and and ethernet connection.

Metal Gear Solid 2 and Grand Turismo 3 .. Two great games ... Just those two games alone could keep me going for a LONG time :)

I have never played any Final Fantasy games .... ever ... maybe should try start ... I think I'll be missing something seeing how I didn't play the first 9 :)

you do realize that FFXI is rumored (not sure if it's been comfirmed yet) to be an online only, "pay-to-play" game...

I say if that's true, stick with FF X ;) not that I wouldn't mind an online only one.... just the price ya know? Not all of us are rich :p
