I was going to say, being a fan of SMB 3 when it came out I never knew of any of these cheats! That being said though the game isnt "that" hard.

Just thought I would add that my kids and I are having a blast with the system. I have a 360 for the more mature games, I hope Nintendo sticks to doing what it has always done best and thats producing great content for all ages!

My console keeps giving me the "dirty disc error" when I try and play a handful of new games. I tried caching the system, whiping out my saved games and running with no HD. It seems to create a "clicking" noise from the disc drive just before it locks up and gives me the message? I have been going back and forth with microsoft on this problem for weeks with no luck. They will not commit to what is going on and I cannot get it fixed even if I pay for it because they just don't know? It seems many other have had this problem, has anyone figured out what it is and how to get it fixed?

Thanks!

When I power it on all I get is a blinking orange and green power light and nothing happens! Any idea on whats going on?

Thank you!

man!! why should a person with xbox buy a ps2 and aren't same games released on both anyway just try socom3 tony-hawks project splinter cell double agent .. and roland garros tennis if u like tennis..gamesbeater

There are a ton of really good games for the PS2 that don't exist on any other consoles. 

Thank you guys for the replies, I added many of your suggestions to my list. :)

My PS2 got the dreaded "No Disc Error" about 3 years ago so I stopped playing it. I have realized that over that time period I spent with my Xbox instead I missed out on a ton of great games. I am currently buying a slim PS2 and some games to catch up on just as I think I owe it to myself to do so. If you guys could recommend the top 10 games in your opinion to be released in the past 3 years so I could grab them I would appreciate it. I have already got my sites set on God of War I & II and Okami. But what else is there that is really great outside of anything GTA related. I am talking about epic game play or awesome RPG's that the PS2 is known to put out. If anyone has some suggestions let me know.

Thanks!:)

I cant read through that many damn pages, I'm sorry. But my Xbox360 locks up now and then on some games, brand new discs, no scratches or anything. I got a red screen with horizontal lines in NHL 07 once. And a few random lockup in NHL 2K7, I turned by power supply on its side... lol, and it seemed to stop it. Are there issues with the system over heating? Expecially the power supply itself?

Thanks,

Mark
