€30 for the disc

Then theres the network adaptor and whatever hdd u wanna buy for it

Skyline theres no cable

The hdd plugs into the network adaptor on the ps2 and the hdloader uses that To store the games and allow you to run them

ya defo true because it's better for the customers than the games companys. The games companys will be discouraged knowing that peopl can easily rent the games

Its illegal. Expect future games to come with protection against such scams (yes, scams).

Note: Newblood your PS2 is meant to stop running games after a while - mainly DVD-ROMs yes? Soon you won't be able to play any games, not just because DVD-ROMs are more widely used, but also because soon the laser will f*ck its sh*t too and force you into buying a new console.

modchips are illegal That didnt stop me lol

I copy games alot The only time i buy an offical game is if its a game i really really like and wanna support the games company

And viola Ive had my ps2 since it was released guess what stills plays every kind of disc with no probs, thats with a modchip

So im sorry but its not "meant" to stop playing disc's

and seph, They know people can just walk out and rent games and copy em Just thats most people dont know about it

Btw I can also play my offical discs online The DMA protection doesnt even see my modchip ^_^

I think it will also be able to load copied disc's onto the hdd Since they dont confirm or deny anything about it and if u couldnt it would be a straight no

Yes they are supposed to break. Your not a very cunning businessman are you?

Not only is it widely known that the parts (mainly the laser) are made to break after a time, but the creator of Resident Evil flamed Sony on a live broadcast on JPN-Tv about it.

Business 101
And I quote:
They have metal on the space shuttle that can go around the moon and withstand tempratures of upto twenty-thousand degrees, you mean to tell me they can't make an El-Di-Rado where the bumper don't fall off?!
They can - but they won't.

Plus your system is chipped so you don't support the games industry like you should - your views don't count. :D

P.S. I don't run a server or use the dumb wmeditor. The only server files i've used are leaked and therefore arn't covered by copyright laws. :P

I support decent games I aint going out spending €70 on a piece of crap ill play for a week Nah ill just copy em and if i really like ill go out and buy

So i am supporting the industry by buying games that i feel are worth my €70

Btw If the ps2 drive is "meant" to break then so would the xbox and gc
And just for ur info my ps1 from its release date still works to this day and again thats with a modchip
