I just picked up a PS2 with a few games, memory card, and ethernet adaptor. One game (Shark Tale) loads up pretty quickly and plays fine. THe other game (LOTR: The Two Towers) loads on the PS2 menu screen but seems to take forever on the actual games loading screen. I let it run for about 15 minutes and it still kept showing the loading animation in the bottom of the screen.
I tried PS1 games and DVD's as well and they wouldn't load either. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a known problem? I completely new to the PS2 so thanks for any help.
