Thats about the most accurate of all your comments and one I can agree with. Weather or not you "like" www.ps2hd.com their list is the most accurate and up-to-date and continually being contributed to. USB extreme/advance with out a doubt is very incompatible with PS2 games. HDD seek speed has nothing to do with it. I guess you dont realize that the USB ports on the PS2 are USB 1.1 and not 2.0 like some are mislead into believing. USB1.1 data transfer rates are not as good as data transfer rates from the DVD rom its self, disagree with that if you like but its fact.

If this supposed "new" version ever comes out the only thing they should concentrate on is their poor compatibly with games. Load speeds could be tolerated if compatibility was higher.

well..point (yet again) spedmetal. simpletonsnake--he knows ALOT more than you. deal w/ that and stop turning every thread into an argument that will end up embarrassing you. back to the topic, Nazralte--i started w/ the swap disc crap too and trust me its NOT worth the headache. dont mess with that, dont mess with the slide key or flip top garbage...none of that. send it out, miss it for a week or so, then love the shit out of it when you get it back. theres alot of different options out there, but i can guarantee you will never say " i shouldnt have got that mod put in"

Have I used an offensive tone lately? You may not agree with my opinions but leave the foul mouth and insults off my screen thank you

What did my cat ever do to you? I'm sure if I insult your pets I'll get banned. Makes one wonder about things like that. Also, it takes two to argue.

I will admit I did the math on the USB speed - I was wrong. I assumed Sony had used USB 2.0 on at least the newer model, I don't have a slim model - I've looked it up since
The PS2 has a 4x DVD-ROM which should put it around 5.4MB/s
USB 1.0 max speed is 1.5MB/s

I know you won't get max speed on burned discs though, even with the best quality medium as I had a chipped PS2 once, I didn't like it. I have used the swap disc in the past, I don't very often. The keycards someone spoke of are crap, you can make one out of you're old library card. The only people who should use them are the people who own fewer than 8 games, but those people are out there

If I said Sony will do repairs for free if you know what to say, how does calling me a suck up help people on this board? We all know Sony’s lasers are crap; lets all pat ourselves on the back for that one. Sony knows it too, that's why they have their repair centers. I'll hold my tongue on the phone if it will save me 75 bucks in repair costs. Getting angry may feel good, but the person you're talking to on the phone didn't design or build your PS2. They can however give you an RMA number, which should be your goal

YOU are the one throwing insults and starting arguments, remember the ( cough cough liar). Spedmetal is one of the most honest well respected people in the PS2 scene. If you knew half what you claimed you would know this. His reputation speaks for itself! Once again i dont think you got your facts in order.

Cat, WTF are you talking about, Yes it does take two to argue. I have noticed you start a argument in just about every thread you reply to. Members like Spedmetal, Sidney, Barkroc and Lufcfan (just to name a few) are not going to lay down and take crap from you, especially when its obvious you dont know WTF your talking about.

And speaking of getting banned, I already banned you once for your smart mouth and attitude. If this keeps up it will happen again and this time you wont be allowed back!
Enough said, Thread closed.
