    Probably because of the size of the files. PS2 games are 2-4GB in size. This would cause extreme strain on any server hosting them. If they were uploaded here, you would have to wait anywhere from one to three months depending on the game to accumulate enough points to download just one game. I guess it would be an incentive for people to buy points...

    Let me ask you this, do you have a Super Deluxe Golden Delicious Mega Wonderful Excellent internet connection? Say you use a 56kbps dial up modem, & there are some who do, like I used to, can you just imagine how long it will take you to download just one PS2 game??

    That's the easy part. Uploading and storing is the hard part, due to their size.

    Err, the hard part is paying for the bandwidth bills once it's put up. :p

    The newer bigger PS2 games are about 5+Gb if I'm not correct.

    Well, thatd be no problem. New HDD is 1TB, and I'm getting another TB external. Is that the only thing holding sixth gen ISOs back?

    We have 1TB of disk in the server, (2TB actually, but 1TB usable) and most of it is taken up by NDS and PSX.

    And exactly how fast are those harddisk? Try looking up a 15,000 RPM SCSI disk, that's how much our harddisks costs.
    But really, it's mainly the bandwidth usage we have to mind. And we also have to consider how Sony will react since PS2 games still sell a bit.

    You still have to think of the potential lawsuit IF PS2 ISOs are uploaded. Possibly from the game's Developer, Publisher, and Sony themselves. Do you really want to see RomUlation down again?

    Do you realize £1,000 is close to $2,500? We couldn't possibly accept that kind of money.
