Is there a hard drive we can get for our ps2 thats like Xbox
So theres no loading, save songs on it, download stuff for games
and be able to save games on the ps2 without memory card?

Uchiha Sasuke · Mar 10th, 2002, 07:34 PM

Yeah its coming out pretty soon.Its spose to be 30gb.

talon101 · Mar 10th, 2002, 07:55 PM

Uchiha Sasuke · Mar 12th, 2002, 09:00 PM

It should be better than the xbox's drive.I mean its larger why wouldnt it be better right.Well i dont know what options your going to get when you have the hard drive installed but i hope you'll beable to rip music

Theres a new feature for the HD that might make buying games a thing of the past.The hd might have the ability to copy the game to the HD and then play it there making the load times shorter and you dont have to play with the cd.

Man if that was true ppl would not buy games nomore i mean u can get youre friends game or something and just install it right

Yes there is a hard drive coming. However, features such as save files and CD rips will be dependent on the software for the HD unit.

And yes, you may in future be able to 'install' a game to the HD - but you can bet your ass that you will still need the disc to play, just like most PC games.

There is no way in hell SONY are going to introduce a feature in their hardware that allows you to run games without the disc! SONY make money off each game sold - that's why you'll need to have bought the game.

Ok thanx for clearing some of that up.Atleast the new HD will have rips.

talon101 · Mar 21st, 2002, 12:13 AM

still thats pretty cool how u can install games!!

DEADPOOL623 · Mar 24th, 2002, 03:15 AM

I heard that you would be able to download demos and buy games online which you could install to the HD. If that's true, then I'd have less problems with storage space in my room.

Neo_Soldier28 · Mar 24th, 2002, 05:37 PM

yea that would be really cool.

Saying that doesn't even make sense

In my OPS2 magazine it says that the Hard Drive is going to be 40GB and not 30GB
Either way both will have alot of memory for you to save stuff and download things etc
