Ok, I'm here to tell you folks, this may be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Heck, it may be even better, since I'm pretty sure you can't put a slice of bread in a Playstation 2. Well, maybe you can, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get toast or anything. Anyway, for those not in the know, HDLoader is a disc you can buy to put in your Playstation 2... much like a game, but it's not a game. It's an accessory. Kind of like the Eye Toy, only different.
So anyway, what you do is you get the HDLoader, a Network Adapter and a hard drive, throw them all together in a nice big bowl, bake at 350° for 35 minutes, and now all of a sudden you can copy PS2 games straight to the hard drive and play them without having to switch discs whenever you want to switch games. Another nice side effect is that the loading times tend to drop since the hard drive can be accessed faster than a disc. So what you end up getting is convenience, less wear and tear on your PS2's disc drive, and also less wear and tear on your discs (for people out there who have kids using their PS2 games like frisbees, you know where I'm coming from).
I know what you're thinking. And it's true. There is a lot of controversy out there about this product, since it makes it lots easier for piracy to happen. All you have to do is go rent a game at Blockbuster, copy it to the hard drive, take it back, and you've still got the game. Sure, that's possible, but I wouldn't suggest it. It's not right. And we all know if it's not right, it's wrong. I know I'm preaching to the choir here. Folks who would turn themselves in on the golf course for a rules violation that no one else saw, aren't going to be moonlighting as video game thieves.
