Way way newbie here with one question

[myk249]

Hello all, I am new here, and new to the console world. My new PS2 is just about 50 hours old. It's a version 4 machine (UC2 with 8 screws on the bottom). Here is my question, what is the easiest and least expensive way to get this machine to play backups of my games? There is a lot of information out there and pretty confusing as to what is the best way to do this.

Thanks to all for your input
