Hi, i was just wondering if you can use any external USB HDD with the new slimline ps2, or do you have to get the sony offical HDD?

And if you can use any external HDD, do you need some sort of software so that the ps2 can recognise it?

Thanks

I just wanna say Most new games dont wont, dual layer games also dont work.

Do a search on USB extreme some where on this site is a list of HDD"s that work. you no what go to the main site They have to have a list on there. Your better off backing your games up onto a disc!
But if you wanna give it a try there are guides somewhere around here

thanks for your reply. I was mainly going to use a small HDD for saving games and saving replays etc. Because a 8mb memory card is just tiny. But i think I'd go with the memory card, cuz a HDD seems like such hassle.

Thanks for your comments ^^

You cannot save game saves on USB HDD, you cannot save saves on 3rd party Internal drives either, it can be done only with official HDD that comes up with HDD utlity disc that will update your browser and show HDD in the browser...
