Title: PS2 survey type thing
Post by: on April 28, 2001, 10:09:06 PM

Just out of pure curiousity what is your favorite type of moth?

No seriously, what is your fav feature about the PS2?

1. It\'s also a DVD player?
2. It can play PS1 and PS2 games?
3. It plays CDs (what console doesn\'t now)
4. Or your own answer

I\'ve always liked "1" myself.

#2

I plan on using it to play PSX and PS2 games, and little else.

The removable Harddrive. Yeah, it\'s not out yet.. but once it is, it\'ll be an indespencible tool. See, I like gaming.. and I\'m an active member of the abandonware/Rom scene so my HD\'s are packed with old games. The only problem is, I don\'t have a CD burner and if there\'s a crash or a virus.. I\'m phucked. The PS2 will hopefully provide a much more stable enviroment to hold my games on until I can upgrade my PC. I just hope it\'s got a flexable user interface... say like a basic Linux OS that\'s capable of running a modified WINE.

If nothing else, I\'m sure someone will come up with a way to use the USB ports to transfer data over to the PC for whatever reason and I\'ll just use that transfer the games I want to play at any given time. The fact that it\'s removable means I can have several 40 gig HD\'s filled up and never really run out of space.

The big reason is the static hardware though. You can say goodbye to many runtime errors and incompatabilities since emulation drivers don\'t have to be written for a million and one different combinations of hardware. I just hope slowdown proggys like Turbo or CPUKiller don\'t fry out the EE. If enough people think the way I do, then hopefully someone will write an EE specific slowdown util.

Games would be #1 with DVD a close second.

Games of course, is the most important.

The backwards compatibility allowed me to go get all the PSone games I didn\'t have, since I never got a PSone...

The DVD drive allowed me to give my parents my DVD player - brownie points. :D

A combination of 1 and 2.
But the DVD is so superb, especially with DD sound.
