I got really used to the control pads on a PS-2 so I went out and bought myself a PS-2 to USB converter and now i play FF XI on my Computer using a PS-2 controller!!!!!!! That is weird!!! You would think i would have bought the PS-2 version of FF XI, but no, I sold my PS2 late last year cause a friend wanted to buy it and now I feel myself jonze-ing for the sleek black case and the cool games, well at least i have FF XI to keep me busy!!!
Well, with the new mini PS2 for 149.99 should be worth the more compact space and the included network adapter. FFXI PS2 players will have to forgo and change to PC but Baketsu's converter sounds neat. Better than paying 50 bucks more for a harddrive I think.
As to what it looks like, my sister got a JP miniPS2 on her trip to Japan a few months ago. We were both amazed at how small the new model is. lol I have it placed on top of my US PS2-1 and it looks like a mother giving her son a piggyback ride. ^^
Right now I'm listening to some Inuyasha OSTs... I've been a big fan of that series for a couple of years now. I wish they hadn't stopped producing the anime, but at least the manga is still going. ^^
I'm also playing the PS2 Inuyasha game Curse of the Sacred Mask. It's pretty fun, although I think it could use more character-defining skills. The menus are also kinda... campy, sorta like an afterthought. I'm wanting to mod my PS2 so I can get the import version of the game, since the JP voices are much better than the US ones. So I figured I'd play through the US version once to get the story, then the JP version to hear the voices.
So, anyone know the best way to get a PS2 modded for imports?

Honestly, Josie, the easiest way is probably to still get a Japanese PS2. Why? Well there is no easy mod solution and a good mod job is going to be expensive and not 100% guarantee. So you might as well pay the 149.99 or whatever the price is for a guaranteed system or you might lose your old one to the mod process as well. ^^
That's mostly why I got a JP PS2, all mod solutions require some type of tampering with the system and then you still have to boot up the machine in some tricky manner that just doesn't seem worth the money.
As for Japanese games, I heartily agree with the reason for buying them. It's too bad we can't have 2 language tracks on these games like .hack did. I guess 1 dvd can't fit both for most long RPGs. sigh ^^
