Title: Check out this gizmo for the PS2
Post by: THX on May 25, 2004, 02:59:07 AM: http://www.hdloader.com

What do you think? Increased load times, and no scratches on your games for $30. Though bound to attract cheapskates. Wonder if Sony will go after this as they did with the m0dchip makers. Sony themselves were talking about doing something like this for their next console.

Releases June 4 ready or not.

It doesnt sound too pretty but i can already imagining people selling HD\'s with games on them. Tsk Tsk. Interesting though.

Now you have moved onto LUST !

and if Unicorn doesn’t do it ,and you get mad… we can move onto Wrath.

Anyway....

I wonder if Sony will Do a Microsoft LIVE and check your set-up while you play Online games.

Mr Kaz hinted at a paying service of Sony online at 3E 2004, so they could do the same and ban people with modded hard/software but still charge you for subscription... like X box Live does...

Classic M$...if you cross them...they will not only F%^K you up...they will also charge you for the pleasure too :D.

:laughing:.

Sort of since this isnt a official ps2 site. I just remember when just the names of other major players in the industry were "***" on the sony forums. :D
