Has anyone else been reading the snippets of information about this online? Some people are screaming fake while others seem pretty convinced. There's also a little video of the thing working. http://www.consolesource.com/blog/2007/08/30/vast-ps2-modchip-usb-memory-card-set-for-release/…

There doesn't seem to be much information about it yet. People reckon it uses that memory card exploit that gets the HDD going.

They seem to be billing it as a quick mod solution. So you'll be able to play discs straight without swapping. On any stock console. Just by inserting this memory card. (I know, sounds too good to be true)

Would be great as I'd love to check out some ps2 homebrew but am too lazy to actually install a chip and too broke to get a HDD and network card

I use the HD with a 250GB internal inside the ps2 and a USB HD (laptop one in a case) sometimes i ftp if its a big file i want to get over.

Suppose as a quick fix its a great idea. But if you have a big file you want to put on a disc it wont work with that.
