"Also they are offering ps2 with 2 games extra controller steering wheel and pedals dvd remote and mem card for £130 which is not bad."I bought David his PS2 for Christmas soon after they came out, as part of a package with steering wheel and pedals, plus GT3. (
Well, I told his mum it was his Christmas present....
)
Anyway,
we oops
he tried the wheel and pedals twice, and they've stayed in the box ever since. - Just couldn't get on with them. The wheel had FAR too much self-centering, and the pedals were just pushed across the floor.
I don't know if anyone else has had any luck using a steering wheel, but short of screwing the clamp to the dining table and bolting the pedals to the floor (yes, that would have at least improved my dinner party conversations, ) and dragging the telly into the dining room whenever
we (oops again)
he wanted to use it.....
Nah, Chris, don't bother with the package, get what you need.
By the way, you may have read elsewhere that we can't go to LM this year, so to cheer him (yes him) up, I bought GT4.
His PS2 won't play it.
Unlike Rick C I'm about as electronically-minded as your average parsnip. My soldering iron is coal powered.
We've tried blowing the dust out (no, not with an airline!!) and a lens cleaner, to no avail. Seems the GT4 disc is the latest-generation technology and has so much data on it that it can't be read in one pass of the laser, so it's double layered, like a lot of CD's apparently. It works on his mate's PS2, which is newer and probably has less dust inside it, but not ours. David says the game really is fantastic, (I've thought of asking can I go round to his mate's to ask for ago.............).
I've heard PS3 is coming out Christmas 2006, but we can't wait that long. So rather than spend a ton on a new PS2, £50 Sony offer a swap for fully refurbished one at £50.
Just thougt I'd pass the story on,in case anyone else has the same problem with an older PS2.
