New PlayStation

[mattjbatch]

Evenin' all

Just a quickie. Off to buy a PS2 tomorrow. One of the silver ones (very bling ). But will my PS1 memory cards work on it or do I have to get a new one? Don't want to get stuck into GT3 and then discover I can't save my hard earned.

Also any games you guys would recommend? Getting Pro Evo 3 with it and The Getaway off Play.com for a tenner (muchos bargain) and of course GT3. Anything I really should get? Its between me and 5 housemates so we want a selection of games really.

Cheers, Matt

Edit to say: Love your profile pic

Yes, ur ps1 mem. cards will work on the ps2.

as for games i say Gt3 and Vice City. Definetely the 2 best.

Cheers unlisenced Have played GTA3 and Vice city to death (quite literally) on the PC. Both are fantastic. Can't wait for the next one though. Supposed to be called GTA: San Andreas or something. Out Q4 2004 IIRC. I'll probably wait for the PC version though so sometime in 2005 for that

Well cant give you many more suggestions for good games, cause in all honesty there aint too many great ones out lately. Im just waiting for GT4 myself. Im a pc gamer myself, with the occaisnol playstation fix. Love those fps games.

thanks bout the compliment for the pic. Its such a great picture.

Prefer PCs for FPS games too. I can't aim a gun using a joypad. Consloes are better for multiplayer though. And there's the small matter of Gran Turismo too. I expect GT4 to slip back further to be honest. Should give me time to complete GT3 though

bah, amature. Ive already got 100% and about 100 fully tuned racing machines and another 10mil in the bank.

Give me a chance mate I've not even got the game yet!

hehe, be warned though. Took me over 2 years to do all this, lots of on and off playing.

WARNING:

your ps1 memory card WILL work on your ps2 BUT only for PS1 games!!

you'll need a ps2 memory card for ps2 games!

[mattjbatch]

Really?

Ahh, bugger

Cheers for the info. Anyone know where I can get a cheap memory card? £20 for 8megs seems a bit steep.

[scaff]

£20 may sound steep, but you will strugle to fill 8megs.

Just as an example a 10 lap replay on GT3 takes up about 70kbs, with the GT3 game save taking about 150kbs.

Just watch out for some games that have silly game saves.

I've had my PS2 since launch and have got by with two 8meg cardssince then.

Usually PC conversions (FPS that allow you to save anywhere).

I've only got the one card, and it's about 75% used. And I paid £300 for my PS2, so I've had it a while.
