WTF is this thing good for?
A friend mentioned I could use it as an external hard drive, but I don't have one. Yet. But I -do- have a 2GB flash drive. So what does that and a smile do for me?
Now I know I can make certain... alterations... to add enhanced capabilities, but what is this intended for on the stock device?

LOL, so they added on a hard drive... which can be used for one game. And they added on USB ports... which can be used for one game.
Niiiice.

I thought you could also connect a USB keyboard for that one game that actually needed a hard drive.

Technically I think the USB ports were there from the begining. Some games had mouse and keyboard support I think. Not sure which ones though.

well, remember, the PS2 was supposed to be a multimedia machine, and orriginally they had designed them so you could connect a USB device (flash memory, camera, etc) and view pictures or whatever you had on it, but I guess there was no support for that kind of thing.
Yeah... a keyboard and the headset are about the only things I know of that can go into it.
Never tried the external hard drive...

All the Karaoke games use the usb ports for headsets.

You are correct sir. Some mics for singing games used it too. |

Actually, it has had several (yet limited) uses...
- Keyboard/mouse (a couple of games supported this - Unreal Tournament was one)
- Network adapter (the only way to get online with THPS3 before the official network adapter was released)
- USB Extreme (hard drive loader)
- mics/headsets
- EyeToy

Gran Turismo 4 allowed you to save pictures onto a USB Flash memory stick. You can also supposedly connect certain Epson printers to the PS2 to print the pics.

Yup, this is correct. My PC wheel connects to my PS2 via the USB connection. |

I have a USB flash drive that came with some Action Replay software. It allows you to play Genesis ROMs, backup saved games, and listen to MP3's.

Those use the regular controller ports, IIRC. |
