THIS IS NOT A TROLL THREAD.
As the topic line describes -- I have the opportunity to pick one up on the cheap, but I'm not entirely sure what the HDD brings to the table in the PS2 world. Is there any downloadable content, are people actually planning for it, or is it all PR hyperbole from Sony that probably won't surface? It's been quite a while since the HDD's release so I'd be expecting to see games that utilize it be released soon.
It strikes me that the PS2 could use the HDD in interesting ways (moreso than the Xbox, which only allows about 1GB of volatile HDD usage in the utility region).
BTW, I'm not interested in HDloader, I'm talking about legitimate uses only.
