Scooby Snax

looks good but what can u do with it?????

Is that the kit for running Linux on a PS2? I thought that comes with a hard disk and mouse etc.

super_si

Im not sure if its the PS2 Linux kit or not.

apparently the harddrive cant be used for saving games, going to be used to caching data and 40GB.

Mmm, I already have my PS2 online. Only game supports it.

super_si

How have you done that mate?

USB network adaptor and Tony Hawk. Works a treat, uses the Gamespy network I think.

super_si

Not into that game

I was debating on getting a hard drive and playing around, or maybe buying american version

I did a bit of surfing around this topic and found that the box that attaches to the back of the PS2 is a hard disk drive, as well as both a narrow and broadband adapter.

It's not released in the UK yet, but there are a few games for US machines and more for the Japanese ones.

As Jack has mentioned the only UK game to support it is Tony Hawks.

Apparently Sony is working with NTL and Telewest in the UK, in the same sort of fashion that Microsoft and BT are working together. It doesn't mention what sort of stage they are up to, but I though the X-Box was only at beta testing stages at the moment??

I seached the Jap site, the had Virtual realiy helmets, Gloves, Digi cams but no hard drives!!

I think Tony Hawk V3 and V4 are the only games in the world at the moment. Excellent work by the people at Neversoft.

Xbox live is out of Beta in UK, now in Testdrive, you can purchase it on the www.xbox.com/uk/live/ or something like that. Full retail version is out in the US.

Jack,

I there are some Japanese RPG that are compatible, but I guess that's no good for us who can't read Japanese!!

Scoty

SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals and Auto Modellista have options to go online via the network adapter, but I can't try it, cos I ain't got an adapter

JackClark

Auto Modellista! Will have to rent that one. Network adaptor was about £30 not sure if it will work with all games.
