PS2 "Mega Memory 16mb" memory card SUCKS!!

[Warlock]

God this is the last straw. This thing pisses me off to no end. So I get the thing for my birthday, and I'm thinking "wow, it's 16mb rather than 8mb".. of course the freaking box doesn't tell you that the PS2 does not recognize it unless you boot the gay thing with a cd. So everytime I wanna play a PS2 game I have to use this stupid boot cd first. But that's not the worst part. Sometimes it doesn't recognize it. Like once when I was playing Dark Cloud, all of the sudden I tried to save it and it said there was no memory card inserted! I guess it has problems reading the card when it's in slot 2 or something, which is even more gay.

But here are the worst parts. I got a PS2 DVD remote for christmas. Had to take it back b/c it required saving data to a memory card and it didn't work with this.. bah. THEN, I just got Final Fantasy X, and guess what? Game doesn't see it at all.. I tried everything.. this just pisses me off to no end! I have hated this thing since I got it but this is the last straw... I think I am just going to shell out $30 or whatever and buy a freaking Sony brand 8mb card.. at least I know that will work and it won't require booting (I don't even need the 16mb considering I have only TWO PS2 games as it is!)

God I hate this thing.. a warning to everyone, do not buy it. It is a worthless POS..

You should know that Warlock has had a PS2 since shortly after it came out, and has only hardly mentioned it, because the only games he's bought for it are FFX and Dark Cloud. He probably bought the PS2 more for playing his old PSX games than anything.

exactly.. I was sort of expecting more titles in the future, but there really havn't been a lot that interest me so far. It's ok tho

If it was made my interact it doesn;t suprise me one bit, they've been making really crappy accessories in the last 2 years.

3rd party stuff will screw up your system and games. gamesharks, mega memorycards, etc. all bad! unless SONY releases a mega memory card, i'm sticking with 8mb!

I know I know.. my parents bought it so it's not really my fault. I usually try to stick to 1st party accessories too.. I figured it'd at least be ok, so I didn't take it back or anything, but I guess I was wrong

What pisses me off is that it doesn't say on the box that you MUST boot it w/ the CD. That is just false advertising. If I saw that I would have returned it. It just talks about how you get the "amazing memory manager CD which can compress your save files and give you more storage space!".. I really didn't care but I at least figured I wouldn't be using the CD.. bah..

Good luck trying to find a Sony 8 MB Memory Card.. I've been looking everywhere for one ever since early Feb.
