I made a list of games that I'm interested in, and most of them were released on the xbox AND the PS2. When I've compared photos (at gamespot) of the xbox and PS2 versions of a game, it usually seems like the xbox version has graphics that look a little better. But I wasn't sure if this is...

I haven't played my PS2 much over the past year and a half or so, and now it has extremely slow load times. When I turn on the unit, it will take 5 minutes or so to load up to the main game screen, and each time I make a selection, it is another several minutes to get to the next menu. It does...

My ps2 will only work on my projector when playing a ps2 game. If I try to play a regular playstation game, the projector is unable to find the source. All it gives me is a blue screen with "No Singal" across the middle of it. The opening ps2 screen and the other screens before the game...

Just wondering if anybody has had a chance to check this out yet. I know the MOH games are kind of generic, but I like them anyway. I wanted to know about the control scheme? Did they use the same crappy one on the last game with regards to movement or does it have a scheme like most FPS games...

To be honest, I've never owned a PS1 or PS2. And since the PS3 is backwards compatible, I'd like to explore the earlier catalogs as well. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I'm late to the PS2 party, but was gifted a console a week ago as a PS3 hand-me-down. I gave it to my 10yr old son, and now I need to pick him up some games. I got him the first Sly Cooper and the Midway Arcade Classics, but he would like a first person shooter that can be played online...

Ok, so there are many versions of the PS2 from it's inception up to now. Which version should I pick up and why? Looking for opinions based on experience. The slim Playstation2 go for around $130 in stores right now, and there are all sorts of combinations available used from the older FAT...

Probably should go under Coupons and Bargains but figured it might (also?) be appropriate here as well. In any case, if your a Kingdom Hearts fan, it's on sale this week at C-USA...if you can manage to find a store that has it in stock. A pretty good deal given that last I checked, Best...

hey all, i am running a marantz 4400 receiver and sometimes i hook up my ps2 through a fibre optical cable to utilize my surround system. now, i set my receiver to auto so that it will detect the type of output being used by the game (pro logic, etc). this option works off dvd's or even...

After getting my rocks off playing Half Life 2 on the Xbox, I am hungry for more. Thinking about going backwards and picking up the first Half Life on PS2 that I have yet to play. Is it worth it. I hear no gravity gun :frowning: , but how does it stack up to HL2? (and please lets not turn...

Hello all. New to the forum so if I'm posting this in the wrong section, don't kill me ;) Anyway, I just upgraded to HDTV the other day (Sony 55" Grand Wega 3LCD KDF-E55A20) and well when I'm playing a source through my PS2 or my DVD player, the video cuts out for a second and comes back. It...

I'm going to be upgrading in the near future and would like to hear from some of you on the pros and cons of ps2 vs xbox.The system will be used with a projector and 106" screen. Any suggestions or reccomendations would be appreciated.:)

I know its not a Xbox 360 post, so who knows if anyone will even look at it. Here's my question either way: Well, I finally had some free time tonite so I figured I'd fire up the old ps2 I found under all the dust from when I cleaned. I plugged in a game, and it didn't recognize one of my...

I rarely have time to play console games these days, what with the new baby and all, but mark my words when I say that I MAKE time for Guitar Hero for at least a few minutes almost every day. Absolutely the most brilliant thing ever plugged into a game console. :)

It sounds like my DVD ROM drive might be going out on my PS2. Occasionally it will have trouble reading a disk and it sounds like it's banging its little head against the side. It's an intermittent problem at the moment... but I think it's getting worse. Anyone ever have this problem and...

I am an RPG nut but I haven't really gotten a lot of PS2 RPG's aside from: Wizardry Kings Field Final Fantasy X Heroes of Might & Magic: Dragonbone Staff Eternal Ring Shin Magami Tensei: Nocturne I was hoping for some other RPG suggestions for the PS2...I know..I know, "get an...

Alright, two Burnout games on the same day! Woo! First up is Burnout Revenge. It got an 8.9 over at IGN: http://xbox.ign.com/articles/649/649286p1.html Anyone play the demo? Its fantastic, especially in widescreen 480p... Burnout Legends is also coming out for the PSP, and...

What PC, PS2 and X Box games do you reckon currently have the best sound compared to other games (as in the best sound mix, best sound design, best sound effects, etc.) when played through any decent speakers and / or when played through any above average home theater systems and please...

I'm looking to get a HDTV for console gaming only. Looking around a 42" DLP/LCD rear projection.. anyone HD game on these and have some experiences they can share? I know 480p games don't look super great but obviously I'd prefer them to be decent and I suspect 720p+ games should look good on...

Has anybody extended PS2 controller cables by adding additional wire in the middle. I have a riser that is 8' deep, plus a few feet in the component closet. I am trying to run the controller cable through my conduit, but I am ending up having to string several extention cable together. Wondered...

I do not even have pro logic 2, just old fashioned dolby pro logic (Marantz AV9000 Preamp). The other day I decided to use the PS2's digital output and could not believe the improvement I heard on God Of War. Don't get me wrong the game sounded great when I used the analog left/right RCA...

2 Questions 1) Afterbuilding my dedicated HT I need to extend my controllers to the seating area from the equipment closet. I found the following options on Amazon. Anybody have any experience with any of these? GEMINI ACCESS Recoil 10 ft. Multi-Platform Extension Cable (10') - $7.99...

I've never posted in the Games hardware area before and my search of the threads didn't answere my questions so please be tolerant of my inexperience in games, I'm trying to make this easier for my kids, they keep whooping me so bad in these games I'm almost ready to give up playing them. My...

Anyone else lookin forward to this game? There is a demo on the current XBox magazine (with GTA on the cover) and it was a lot of fun. It also features the guy who voiced Zim on Invader Zim...pretty funny stuff. :D http://ps2.ign.com/objects/681/681173.html Comes out on the same day as...

I just got my PS2 and I'm not quite sure how to connect the optical plug for the sound on it. It's already connected to my Xbox, so are there splitters available for it or is it not possible to share?

I just got my HT setup and I'm looking to buy one of these two systems. I was wondering what people thought was a better gaming system for HT? By this I mean more games with DD5.1 sound and 16:9 widescreen. I will be playing mostly first-person shooters and sports games.

Rob, here are some answers. 1) Burn in? My bro has a 57" Tosh and has been playing XBOX on it since 2002. No problems for him. I have been playing on my 65" mits rptv since Nov04, no issues. 2) XBOX. many games are native 16:9, many more than on the PS2 at least % wise. Otherwise run in...

I thought that there was a way to use the old memory cards with the original games on the ps2. When I play my old games on the ps2, I can't save. Am I mistaken or am I doing something wrong?

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how much a used ps2 in good condition is worth. Like the resale value I guess. Thanks! Kyle

Does anyone know what store in Michigan sells the Sony Component Video Cable for the Playstation 2 for $19.99? Amazon.com has it for 18.98 or something right now, and I was so surprised when I saw it for 29.99 at my local Best Buy store. Please, can someone help me.. I want to play God of...
