Been Wondering if I can load a really Big HDD in my ps2 for example Western Digital 250Gb.
Also wondering what it would take.
Thanks to all in advance.

Yeah you can, all you need is a network adapter (this is assuming you have a fat ps2).
If you use a Western Digital drive though you will have to make a slight (easy) adjustment to the network adapter which a guide can be found at this site.
Then you just need a hd program like the hdadvance cd or swap magic with hdloader.

I was looking that up today I recommend you get the Hdloader though, here's a link

http://hdloader.org/
-Go to Instructions to see how its done

here's another link whenever you get lost go to the forums
http://www.hdloader.net/
-The new version is easier to set up and has larger capacity so that means you can put a 750 gig if you want.

Videos and mp3's yeah but not with Hdloader, I found some info on it but it sounds like something not easy to do.
Its called the MC Exploit and to do this your gonna need a memory card and some other things that I have no idea because it sounds like a mission to do.
To be honest it'll look cool to play videos and mp3's on a PS2 but in a couple of months PS3 will have the same capabilities to do the same so its just better to wait and play them on the PC in the meantime.
Check out this video, they show how the interface looks like and how it plays videos and mp3's and has a built in web browser for the PS3.
