JoeyN Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Just a curious question. Ive seen a few pictures the last few days of the PS2 hard drive. and each one has the HD sticking out the back of the ps2 with the network adapter connected to the HD. Is that how its gonna be? If so thats pretty crappy. Hope people who have Equipment racks can fit it , if thats the case capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 As far as I can tell it's the network adapter, not the hard drive, that's sticking out of the back. It's exactly the same as the network adapter installed on an non-hard drive PS2. In other words, the network adapter sticks out of current PS2's the same way.

MrJames Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Yes, the network adapter covers the HDD so it wouldn't look any different if you already have the NA attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 ok thanks guys. The reason im asking is on ign they posted a pick of the HD sticking out the back with the network adapter attached, and also the same sort of pics were in Game informer this month capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 That would look hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsappel Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I think the HDD is pulled out so they can show how it fits into the PS2. The Network Adapter sits flush when the HDD is properly inserted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, I just keep mine in a tractor shed, which you can purchase from any home improvement store. When I want to use my Xbox, two friends and I simply wheel it into the house on a hand truck.

JoeyN Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 and then we use a fork lift to put it onto the table capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htide Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 The way it works is that the HD is attached to the Network adapter. You then slide the hd in to the PS2. Adamsapple is right, The Network Adapter sits flush when the HDD is properly inserted. Not to brag but i know this cause I beta tested it. The only obvious difference in the PS2 is the weight and a status light that will emit from the grill underneath the controller ports.

Htide Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 So did anyone get this. If so is there a noticeable boot up delay? When I beta tested it it took a while for it to boot up. Also, is there anything else included on the hd besides FFXI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I thought beta testers got it for free and a week or so in advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary P Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 James, Sony really dragged their feet getting the HDD out, we didn't even get the comfirmation E-Mail until last Friday. It looks like UPS tried to deliver mine today, but I wasn't there to get it. EDIT: Scratch that, the delivery wasn't for the HDD. Apparently they still haven't shipped yet, color me unimpressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
