How did I even know how to find and use this thing in the early 2000s? At least it made me get a PS2 HDD which also made me get the Network Adapter which allowed me to play RE: Outbreak and TimeSplitters 3 online with all twelve other people who had this setup

I'm sure I saw it in the back of like an issue of some crappy gaming magazine lol. I always wanted a Dexdrive but that was like piracy adjacent. This was the real deal lol

When I got mine it was not pricey, I think I paid $20 for it new. It was after everyone had moved on to the next generation of consoles
