Can anyone reccommend a PS2 website that would be the equivalent of
http://www.xbox-scene.com please.
I am having as much fun trying to find a decent and interesting PS2
website as I did trying to find a PS2 mag that wasn't written by and

What cable do i need to link a PS2 to a router?  Currently i have a Patch
cable which is 1.5 metres and it works no problems at all except its too
short.  Im after a longer cable somewhere around 25 metres.  I spoke to
crappy Simply Computers who told me i need a cross over cable ...

Having not played the PS2 or even got the mag for the past year or so
could the NG faithful please point me in the direction of the best
games I;ve missed?  Tiger Woods 2004 I'm already aware of as I just

I've heard of blue disks being noisy before but the blue disks I've used have
all been fine until yesterday when I bought Virtua Cop Elite Edition.  The
whining it makes when loading the different stages is terrible, gives me a
headache and almost puts me in "STEVE SMASH!" mood.

I bought a pre-chipped (Matrix MXL2) PS2 recently, so that I could
play import games. Katamari Damashii and DDR Extreme arrived from
Lik-Sang today, but neither of them appear to play.
My Japanese is awful, but they both appear to be having problems

is there a way to play Japanese games on a uk playstation 2, similar to the
disk swapping method on the original playstation?
Thanks

After finally getting around to finishing Dino Crisis (which eventually gets
rather bloody good) I decided to peruse the shelves of the newest used games
emporium over my way in search of very cheap New-Game-aholic thrills.
I got...

Munch's Oddyssey.
Sales wise I mean, I assume Microsoft paid Oddworld Inhabitants a massive slab
of cash to snatch the exclusive away from the PS2 launch line-up, but did it
actually make any money back, as X-Box sales weren't exactly stellar in the

just a question to ask if anyone with an older machine has been having any
problems booting newer "blue" discs?
My problems started with a purchase of Mashed, where i would constantly get
a disc read error. i cleaned my machine, made sure the disc was OK, and
