OT (slightly): Playstation 2

[Urban_Tiger 0]

Just brought one (for a laff lol). Actually went out to buy a second DVD Player (well sort of, the other one is a full DVD-RW/DVD-RAM Recorder too), but once in the shop then thought, what the heck, the PS2 plays the damn things anyway so why not just have the added function of being able to play games on the thing too, for near the same price as a standard DVD Player anyway LMAO !!!

Just wondering if there are any worthwhile upgrades or gadgets to get for the PS2 as I really haven't got a clue on Consoles at all and what's available for them etc lol. Never really bothered with em, what with mainly using PC's for years and years really. I did get a sold seperately Remote Control for the DVD's as 1 extra, but left it at that for today at least hehe. If it means anything to whats available too??? It's the Silver coloured type, it came with 2 Controllers/Gamepads and the free game was "International Cue Club" (should be a laff too rofl)!!

Am thinking a Memory Pack/Card (whatever they call em for the PS2) would obviously be a good idea to start with to save games etc, or can you save a game without one too as a question for those in the know on them (told ya I knew nuthin about Consoles though hehe, and it's against all my ethics to read the instruction manual too hehehe)??

What upgrades can you stick in the larger Bay thingy in the back too please lol??

And to do for now, the USB ports on the PS2, are they compatible with any PC devices that any of you may know of, or do you need to buy PS2 specific kit that will work in them too please lol??

Any help andadvise from people who know the PS2 well for a newbie to one would be useful and appreciated thanx. And, before anyone has a go at me for not paying too much attention to the damn manual as well rofl, 9 times outta 10 they aren't much use anyway and I know I can get far better info and advise from people here too who have direct experience, generally always proves much more informative!!

Look forward to any info and advise anyone may have thanx !!!
