playstation

I've been debating on to whether or not i should get a playstation 2 or not. I'm mainly a computer game player, but i really dont wanna miss all the cool games on the ps2. Im an avid RPG fan and I know the ps2 has all the titles I want, (final fantasy, etc.) but is it worth shelling out the $200...

As a fan of Indy Jones and the Infernal Machine, I decided to wait for the new Emperor's Tomb and see if my computer was capable of playing it. From looking at the box I seem to be on the fence for meeting the minimum requirements. I don't want to upgrade anymore, and am thinking of going to a...

Anyone out there feel the MonsterCable component cables are the best available? I picked up a pair off of Ebay but they didn't work so I had to return them. It seems Monster's aren't built too well as there are always tons up on Ebay. Right now I'm using Pelican's S-video with an Acoustic...

I was at a local Video Game place (in a strip mall - can't remember the name of it now) and the guy working there told me that the PS2 will drop to $149.99 on May 10th Anyone else heard this? I have been thinking about adding a 2nd game system to go with my XBOX setup - and I may just do...

I am playing my Playstation 2 on my Toshiba 56H80 Widescreen TV. For some reason, the left approximately 1 inch of the screen is black. It doesn't matter if I hook up through composite, component...whatever. Obviously, movies and TV work just fine, and it seems like the right side of the...

I just bought this last night and spent hours playing it. It is so much better than 2002. And 2002 was a very good game. Just the little things make a big difference and make the whole game experience that much better. Like at the start of each race they will sing the national anthem and fighter...

The subject says it all. I just don't see any reason not to,unless you can't afford all three systems. I don't want any console bashing here. As you regulars should know, I like all three consoles because each one has/will have some awesome exclusive games, & having all three enables me to get...

I may have the choice of receiving a free PS2 or Xbox in the near future. This could be a loaded question but which one should I take if I get the choice?

When I turn on my brand new PS2, it goes straight to the "browser" screen. I put in a game, and the screen begins to flicker with white lines when the it goes black after the "browser" screen, during the transition to the game. There is a curved line connecting the right side of the top of the...

Hi gang, I have been using S-video for my PS2, but just got a 55" set with component video inputs. Would it be worth getting the component video cable for the PS2? I only use it for games, not DVDs, so I'm not sure whether there would be a noticeable difference. Anyone been able to make a...

I was looking for this game and found it recently at EBgames for only $15. It's a 2 disc set, the first disc is a port of the original Dreamcast version which was one of my favorite games. The second is the jewel of the collection, Part 2. For those not familar with the series, it's a rhythm...

I'm having trouble getting 5.1 audio out of my system. I have an optical cable from the PS2 to my receiver. I went into the set up menu in the receiver and assigned VCR2/AUX for the PS2. But when I hit the AUX button on the remote I get nothing. The instructions in the PS2 and the receiver...

i have the cable modem hooked right into the ps2 through the adapter but when it checks the dnas it always gives a 611 error. according to the places i have found with supposed answers that 611 is a firewall error. if it is a firewall error how do i open the firewall and why is there one if...

ALright I used to have a PS2 and owned all Tony Hawk Games. THe controls (with the shoulder buttons) seemed completely fluid. Now Im contemplating buying it for the xbox and dont know if the controls are gonna have the same feeling. Does the xbox controls have that right feeling? Thanks guys dave

I see that some games indicate that they are formatted in Dolby Digital. I'm thinking of a setting up my kid's game room with surround sound speakers . I note that one can buy cheap PC speakers with a sub-woofer that also are marketed as "game system" surround sound speakers. Question: How...

hi all - i'm getting my boys a ps2 for x-mas ... which of course means i'm getting a ps2 for myself! :) anyway, i was wondering if you could recommend a great kung-fu (tekken style) game? if it would also work well for 8 year olds, then that would be a bonus. thx! ted --- ps...

About a month ago I was in some random video game store checking out the coming soon list and happened upon the coolest thing ever, intellivision lives. I've been salivating at the thought of getting my hands on 60 classic games for the bargain price of $20. The release date has come and gone...

Or should I wait for PS3? What do you guys think? I never can make up my own mind. Should I ask for a PS2 for Christmas, or is it not worth dropping the $200 with the PS3 due in a little over a year? Thanks for helping postpone dealing with my indecisiveness.

Anyone play this online?

So I was looking through an issue of Gamepro(free subscription thanks to a deal I saw somewhere). Anyhow, they had a little christmas stocking stuffer list and on there was a $10 product that relocated the PS2 rocker power switch to the front for people with entertainment centers etc. Now, my...

i realize that i'm in the vast minority, but i hate the playstation controller. i've never found it comfortable and i don't like the 4-button Dpad... the problem is, i'm starting to really like the ps2's games. assuming i DO decide to get a ps2 in the future, are there any nice, 3rd party...

i thought i heard somewhere that these consoles may soon go down in price? i can't believe they would cut it so low? not that i would complain....

I have the following PS2 games for trade: MotoGp2 Solider of Foture SSX Tricky Hot Shots Golf 3 (sealed) (Greatest Hits) Everquest (sealed) Spashdown Silent Hill 2 Rygar Crazy Taxi Gran Turismo 3 I will entertain all trade offers lmk, bruce

Thought I'd post a quick review of WWE's new PS2 game, Bring the Pain. I bought this game figuring it would be a total rehash of the Smackdown brand of games, with an updated roster and new entrance themes... yeah, I was kinda wrong about that one. THQ has changed this game up quite a bit, so...

I'd love to hear recommendations for a relatively new PS2 owner with Toys R Us Buy 2 get 1 Free Deal. I have in mind to get: Xenosaga .Hack Infection .Hack Mutation Sly Cooper Jak and Daxter If any of these are not that great, or if others are worth mentioning, please let me know...

Yes, I'll admit it. I can't stand playing games that aren't at least 480p. My TV has a pretty lousy line doubler, so interlaced games look... Like interlaced games :frowning: However, my TV has SVGA inputs and I was wondering if there's some sort of PS2 VGA box (like the Dreamcast had) that...

FYI: EBGames.com has Primal (PS2) for $9.99. I've never heard a lot of talk about this game, which is a real shame. It's fun Tomb Raider-style game with a stronger emphasis on hand-to-hand combat. Also, it has the best PS2 graphics I've ever seen. If you have a PS2 and can display 16:9 480p...

Hi All, I finally bought an online adapter for my ps2. Can anyone recommend some good games to try out that are online ready? thanks, Jeff
