Wizard Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) Over here they show off 2 new test models, both of them are pretty close to final. We all know you need to buy a new Mulititap for those 4 player games, but now, what if your upgrading from your (Assuming dead) PS2 to a PSTwo? Not only that, your controllers still work, but these new PSTwo units require a different type of memory card(or once I get the unit, i shall find a way to mod my current memory cards so it can work on the PStwo)! I kid you not. You need to purchuse a new memory card. As the older PS2 cards, DON'T FIT! Theres is also a concern that these new PSTwo memory cards won't be backward compatible. So PS2 owners are royally fscked by Sony. Take alook at the pics in the link. Edited October 5, 2004 by K`dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hmm...that is pretty troubling and stupid on Sony's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeval Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 New Memory Cards = Not cool. If they were going to screw current memory card owners, they should have just gone full-bore and eliminated the slots altogether, opting for the integrated harddrive (and whatever it would take to emulate that as a giant memory card) instead. They could make their money on a USB adapter for old cards. Wait, that might still be in the plan. :\ That review pointed out another important flaw, which is that the flip-top drive, while not inherently annoying, pretty much eliminates half the advantage of such a tiny device. What's the point of making it 2.8cm thick when you still need a good 5 or 6 inches of clearance to swap a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I've got three starting words: What the flock? New memory cards? Somebody better create an adapter of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prican25 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 i doubt they would do that especially if the current controllers fit as the memory card is suppose to fit along with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibathedog Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 hmm, this thing is turning out to be very strange, maybe replacing my PS2 and then getting a mod for my old one isnt such a good idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
