Grabbing one from NewEgg when I order some pc upgrade goodies next week. For the 12 year old mainly but also 9 year old daughter and 6 year old son will be involved (with gnashing of teeth by the oldest child I am sure :evil: ).

*It comes with 1 controller, should I buy another wired controller to match or just get a couple wireless?
*They only show a Sony 8meg card or a pair of 8meg memory cards. Are the 32 or 64 meg no name cards ok (the local Target has them)

*Game suggestions?.....the oldest pretty much plays the FPS that I play on the PC but he really likes all kinds of games, RPG etc. (games like KOTOR)......and something fun for the younger pups as well.

Any other pointers would be good......never had a console before (unless you count Pong or Atari....yes, I am an old fart)

Thanks!

its not really a ps2 game but if he likes RPG (or good music and great stories) get chrono cross (ps1). you can probably find it cheap and it is IMO the best rpg ever made.

other than that ff10 is good, suikkoden 3, star ocean 3 are nice rpgs.

I tell ya.....trying to learn how to use a controller is like wiping my ass with my left hand...I suck. Kingdom Hearts is an awesome game.....enjoying watching him play. I gave it a shot, and, well, the youths had a good laugh.

I swing the sword like a drunken third rate pirate.😱
