I followed the link to the Sony site and found this is worse than I first thought. I didn't realize until now that some PS2 games don't work on the PS2. I just bought 4 games on that list (Big Mutha Truckers 2 $5.96, ESPN NBA 2K5 $3.96, ESPN MLB 2K5 $3.96, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3 $8.96), but I haven't opened them yet.
Has anyone found a thread or web site where people have actually tried running these games on the slim SPCH-75001 consoles to find out exactly what the problems are?
For instance, are they just minor graphical glitches, not being able to save, freezing at a certain spot that prevents finishing the game, or will it not even boot up? Perhaps I should just return them all, but I had heard the ESPN sports games were good, and for $3.96 I'd rather keep them if I could play them.
