You MAY be able to find some emulators, but I haven't found any that work well at all. Its not even worth it to try really. If you want to play them, either get a new PS2 or get the PC version of the game. | |

You mean you want something like an emulator? Some says its illegal. I once had it but I've lost the software on a cd.
I really enjoy playing my PS2 over the years. Now PS3 like what they say, will come around approximately late 2005/early 2006. I think that's too bit early as PS2 is still rookie (!). I will sell my PS2 next year.
I felt like its too soon but I will enjoy the PS3 release though.

Yes it shall be a very exciting time when the next gen of consoles come out. Who knows who I will go with next round, I have stuck with nintendo so far, but I am looking foward to seeing what microsoft and sony have to offer. | |

talkin about new consols there are 2 be 2 more throwing there hat into the ring. they were announced this year in E3 and are both based on a amd chip (one a 1700+ and the other a 2200+ ( i think that is right been a while since i read it)) i also believe one will have a 5700 in it (the one with the faster cpu) they pridicted that the console that is useing the 1700+ will fail but the one useing the 2200+ will be very succesful. | |

Both the 1700+ and a 2200+ will be severely underpowered compared to the next generation consoles. (PS3/XBOX2) | |
