This would have been good as a typical PS2 Japanese RPG title.

Nicely written article, Laura.

I can use all of my music and Pics and any Divx or Xvid video file which is my preferred video format anyways. Who needs a Ps3 or a 360 for that matter when my PS2 is still giving me so much use." Ummm... Just about anyone with a high definition TV. Keep in mind that the PS2 is SD only and the PS3 and 360 are both HD devices. I've used laptops and the Wii to play SD content and the image quality is no where near what you'll get from a modern console, even at 720p. You're main advantage is smaller file size and less computing power requirements. 1080p files start to get quite large and older PCs will choke on those files if you try and transcode on the fly, but if you have a large HD TV those older SD video formats will look horrible on the big screen.
