No, you cannot use a HD inside a PS2 as a memory card under any cicumstances that I'm aware of except...  There's a program that allows you to transfer saves to your HD, but that doesn't do you any good because games do not have the ability to look for game saves on the HD anyways!  It's basically just a marketing ploy to get you to buy the product I guess.  I mean, who wants to load up some stupid program, x-fer the save you want to use onto the memory card and then finally switch disks to the game you intend to play?  Same thing with that stupid USB memory stick someone came out with, you can't save and load directly to the stick...

The advantage is to back up your saved games from the memory card, not use it directly from your HD.  I have kids and they tend to delete other peoples profiles.  I hate it when I've worked hard to unlock crap in a game only to find they deleted my profile the next time I try and play it.

You could always spend 10 bux and get a memory card for the kids and put yours away.

I just don't see the point of putting saves on the hard drive

Although my HD doesn't do this, I can see how it would be handy. I'd like to back up all of my old saves on my HD to clear space on the memory card. With that kind of save storage capacity I could have a save for every level/ mission of every game. Pointless? Maybe, but I like goofy tech toys.

I'm all for goofy tech toys too, but the fact that I'd have to load up a cd to transfer a save to my memory card (after finding it), then actually transfer it, then start up the game, and then finally load up the game..... its too much hassle for me.  I'd rather just have a few memory cards.

Well since I already have a hard drive, I just think it would be convenient to be able to back up my saves onto it. I can see that I'm not going to change your mind on this though. ;) ;)
