Sorry I don't know but this is the wrong section.

Could someone please move this to the lounge.

What could you use it for?  (Unless you're installing Linux on it...)

Maybe there's a way to make the PS2 use the thumbdrive as a larger memory card.

In an Xbox you can with a bit of hacking but in a PS2, sadly, no.

I did read somthing about the iPod Shuffle and GTA3 on the PS2, google that and you might get somewhere. I can't find the link (again, sorry, I read too much stuff to find it in my history...)
I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
