There is no difference what so ever apart from the fact you can install backups on to the hdd.

its true some games wont work with them, but at the mo the list isnt huge

simple way is put games onto the hdd that are compatable, and if there not burn them to dvd and load it with a mod chip or swap magic

to load hd loader from that site you would need a ps2 mod

no you need some form of mod, like swap magic with a fliptop etc

simply because this would be a backup and as you know a ps2 doesnt read backups

If you get Swap Mgic then you could make a exploit (my fav word) with a dvd9 patched hdloader that will let you play the likes of god of war, gt4 and xenosaga.
