A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Did they do a HDD for the PS2? I thought it was on good-old 16MB memory cards full of "blocks"!
If you get the "network adapter" accessory, you can install an HDD in the fat PS2. Then after setting up the bootloader and apps, you can play your games directly from the HDD.

Nice, I never knew that! Was this an official thing at the time or has someone reverse engineered it later?
It was an official thing, and the only way to play Final Fantasy XI, since the game had to receive updates. The HDD has to be a 3.5" SATA drive to slot in properly. I looked around for one adapter 3.5 to SD adapter, but finding a used 500gb drive was cheaper.
