[General Discussion] Recent Game Purchases, or what I bought instead of fourteen new dildos this weekend

I recently picked up a Silver Slim PS2 with Okami and Shadow of the Colossus. My brother took my ps2 with him to college so I got a new one.

I also bought Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door about 2 weeks ago as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's quite nice. It's very attractive and goes nice with the Platinum Gamecube. It is slightly shinier than the Platinum Gamecube, though. The controller is silver as well. I knew I was going to get a new PS2 and I saw that the Silver Edition was going to be sold. I had to wait about 3 days for it to be in stock at any of the local EB's or Gamestop's. There are around 12 of them here and they were all sold out.

One thing that surprised my, and I am sure anyone with a Slim PS2 knows, it is VERY small. It's barely larget than a DVD case.

How ya doing, buddy?

From what I understand, tt has the same architecture as the Fat PS2. I haven't looked into it much, mostly because I don't really care, but I believe the Slim PS2 has a processor that combines the abilities of the Emotion Engine CPU and the PS2 GPU into one processing unit. I believe this has changed the compatability of a couple of games. Your guess is as good as mine on whether your gameshark will work though. My guess is that it does, because it essentially alters a small amount of code, and this code is the same regardless of which version PS2 you have. They would be required to keep the standards essentially identical to make most games compatable.

Maybe a search will clear that up?

Here is a list of incompatable games:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Deni, you might wanna try it out before purchase, but if the silver ones are 77001 then they might have fixed some of the issues.

I'll check when I get home at the model number. I wasn't really that concerned with the incompatability issues, but Lunar 2 is the game that stuck out to me on that list as well. I wanted to play it one of these days.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
