When are Sony going to sort out some official hardware for the PS2? F1 2001 has their Speedster steering wheel, which was designed for the game. GT3 is going to have its own wheel as well. To get the best from each of these games are we going to have to get both?

Then theres the Online thing. The official Sony one is a way off yet, yet Tony Hawkes 3 allready has network play working. Have they got hold of the Sony kit early, or, like it looks, have made their program run on another modem to get it working in the meantime. If this is the case, will it work with the official Sony when its released?

Sony had better start organising their hardware soon, as more and more games are looking at online gaming. I personally dont want my PS2 with 3 wheels, 4 modems and about 8 hard discs.

There is no point buying more than one wheel just because they go with the games. If I was you and money was no object I would get the GT3 wheel as it has force feedback, but it is a bit pricey.

I have an unnoficial ps1 mem card and it looks naff compared to the proper ones.

Perhaps sony could release a PS1 card in black to match the ps2 card? Yes i am sad but looks are important...

If they did a 2 meg card it wouldnt be all that cheaper to make, so the retail would be not that much different. People would say "oh, its just another fiver to get the 8 meg one" and not bother getting the smaller one.

Some games for PS2 have 500Kb + saves so only 4 saves would fit on the 2Mb. 8Mb is just right at the moment as you can save alot on it. I have 9 game saves and have only used just over 2Mb I think.
