Since the PS2 forum seems a little flat lately and there seems to be no large discussions anymore i thought i would make a topic for some to start.

So, to start, what do u think about the fact that the ps2 has only two ports for pads? Its been done before but hey,
having two ports is a bit poor and surely it could have been put in, but it was not and so you have to buy a multitap. Does this bother you? I am not bothered too much but it does mean i have to spend another £25 on one. What do yopu think?

What about the memory cards, are they too exspensive? Give some input.

I posted about this in the Chat forum a second ago.

The PS2 pad, rumble included, is £20. You get one free, so 3 pads and the tap is £80

A DC had 4 ports, so does not need the tap. Though 3 controllers at £20 each and 4 rumble packs at £17 each (SR's prices), total outlay is £128.

Doesnt sound so bad when you put it like that, does it?

i think the memory cards are very good value for money considering they are 8MB.

if anybody wants to take advantage of the free pad offer phone sony and say your pads broken because the sticks spin side to side. theyll send you a new pad.

*stacks another pad on the pile*

I'm sorry, it's just before i got my ps2 i was playing some new psone games i bought on conectix and couldn't save, then when i got my ps2 the unofficial ps1 memory card didn't show up in the browser, then after months of building game saves stored up on my PS2 card it decides to give in and then i had to post it off to Sony for a few weeks without the ability to save then for some unknown reason get another £26 card in the post.

Sony's way of saying sorry lol

I expected that to happen.Sony just want to make more money by making us pay extra £25 for a chance to play against your friends.I am not getting a multi-tap in the near future but I probably will when I have some spare cash
