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...)
