It finally happened

well I wouldn't actually call that different versions then, just that they fixed some launch problems, just like when they fix the 360's launch problems, the fixed ones won't be considered a new version of the 360 nor was it considered this way with any of the other fixed systems when they first came out at launch.

is it comprehensible.....

They ARE called different versions, though. The launch version of the PS2 is not the same as the next version, which isn't the same as the slim version. They're slightly different - main difference being bugs worked out and such.

I know that the slim version of the ps2 is a different version.

is it comprehensible.....

There are 14 different versions of the PS2.

well can you explain that?

is it comprehensible.....

This website explains the differences pretty well. It's mainly differences between the structure of the unit itself, and in some cases, parts are changed, such as the main board.

Versions 1-10 were the large ones in the US. Version 11 was Europe exclusive. Versions 12-14 and on are and will be the slimline PS2.

Nobody actually kept their playstation 2 in standby mode when they were done playing it, they would cut it off.

i never turned mine completely off, i dont think it effected anything. leaving it on all night after i watch a movie, i think that would be what slowed mine down.

so to leave yalls on standby mode did you cut the switch off and then turn it back on, or could you also just press the button for a few seconds and then it went into standby mode,b/c the only time mine was in standby mode was when i first cut it on and the red light was on, but once the green light was on by me pressing the button, i thought it couldn't go back into standby mode unless you turned the system completely off and back on.

How's it the college's fault for the PS2 breaking down when you put it over a heater?

You should know not to put any electronics like a console or a computer over a heater because it will overheat.

nope, mine is running as fine as it was when i first bought bought it when it came out. you should never keep it nexct to a heater, as most electrical appliances (apart from heaters) can be affected.

I was just being silly cause I don't like my college. I know it's my fault for locating it near the heater.

But it was 2 shelves up above the heater and things were on the bottom shelve. So it was getting direct heat and I so I didn't think it would affect it but I was wrong.

is it comprehensible.....

the first 3 months i had my ps2 and it crashed on me

lol, that sucks. What happened?

is it comprehensible.....

I bought the Max Memory 64Mb card for my games, I did some research and realized 8 Mb is enough for 1 game maybe 2 or 3.

I don't know what kind of research you've been doing but I have the same memory card that I got when I first got my Playstation 2 and I have not run out of memory yet. All of my saved games thus far have been on only one memory card.

And yes I've played and saved way more than 1,2, or 3 games.

is it comprehensible.....

Hmmm a 8MB memory card should on average hold 10 to 12 games. But as far as I remember Madden '05 or some similar game takes up loads of space.

Sports game take up sapce.

I had my Ps2 for 1.5 years and it only froze once and that was because someone pressed the open the cover on my slim ps2.

Well....I'm having a problem with my Playstation 2

SO yesterday I put in this bonus disc, which was a DVD that came with the game with behind features.

Everything automatically scrolls to the left and keeps on doing this. Being that I haven't looked at a DVD on my Playstation 2 in ages, I don't know exactly when this started.

So today I go to create some space on my memory card with no game disc in the system and it continues to scroll to the left up to the top.

It's very annoying. SO I think maybe it's my controller so I switch to my brand new controller and it continues to do this. SO I don't know what's the problem.

I thought this may affect my game. But it's not. At first the character would slowly walk to the left, but I don't think it's doing that now. It may be so subtle that I'm not noticing, but it's very unsettling.

And being that the menus in the game I'm playing are vertical and not horizontal, I wouldn't be able to tell anyway, b/c it only scrolls automatically to the left, not up and down automatically.

When I say scrolls to the left automatically, I mean without me touching the controller at all. I just goes over by itself. And when I press the right directional button, it jumps back and forth between left and right and doesn't go over more.

So yeah...

It's so far playing my game just fine and there is a thing in the game where you press the key pads to choose different moves and stuff and that seems to be working. If I choose the right or up or down move it stays there and does go over to the left.

SO I'm confused. I know it's something to do with the system and not the controller or the game. Because I've tried more than one controller and more than one game.

Any insight? advice?
