So my girlfriend's brother bought a PS2 at launch. It of course acted up over time and all the other crap normally associated with PS2s. Today he decided that he didn't really need it and didn't care to try fixing it, so he gave it to me.
Needless to say I took it and gave it a good cleaning and tweaking, it will now do everything it's supposed to except normal audio CDS, which I could care less about. Blackback PSX, Blueback PS2, and the...other PS2 discs. Honestly I'll probably use it more for PSX. So I've got some stuff to discuss. Edit: removed stuff about backups, I've found my own info.
My other question is are there really any games that are worth having on PS2? And when I say that, I mean EXCLUSIVE games, or at least ones that have a major advantage over the other platforms. I've asked this question before elsewhere and everytime I always get a good list of Dreamcast and PC games. So please to be informing me on the point of having a Playstation 2.
