Gameshark2 for Playstation 2

We recently bought a PS2 and Gameshark2. When we tried to use the Gameshark2 all we got was a message saying to insert a PS2 format disk. We contacted Gameshark and were told that Sony has changed the reader on the newer PS2's and the Gameshark2's won't work. The first time we were told that they would send us the new CD within 2 weeks. We called again yesterday and were told that they are updating their CD's but it may be several more weeks before they are available. Their suggestion "Return to the store for a refund or exchange it and see if the one we get is a newer version." (How it would be a newer one baffles me since he said that they are not out yet.) There are no markings on the boxes to indicate if you are getting the older, non-working version or the newer one that works. Since the store where we purchased the Gameshark2 doesn't give refunds on open software and will only even exchange within 30 days of purchase I guess we are simply out the ...!! Gameshark says this is Sony's problem but I think they should pull the Gameshark2's that are on the shelves if they don't work.

This won't work with some Playstation 2's

I bought this peripheral (Version 1.3) today to help me out in some games. I plug it in and it says that the version of the software that I have wont work with my Playstation 2 because my Playstation 2 has safeguards against it. So the software says to contact Gameshark.com for more updates. DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU BOUGHT YOUR PLAYSTATION 2 WITH THE GT3 BUNDLE PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

DO NOT BUY GAMESHARK 2, Five of my friends that have tried it in their PS2 have had fatal errors and sony will not help out, unless you fork out $120 bucks. It works for a good month then seriously messes up your PS2. My PS2 will not play non-dvd games or playstation 1 games anymore, some games that are non-dvd are madden 2002 and fifa 2001. It will only play dvd's and dvd rom games. SO I BEG YOU DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I'M WRITING TO THE COMPANY AS I WRITE THIS.

BEWARE, DO NOT BUY THIS!

If you can, find another cheat device. Eighty percent of the people I have talked to(500 people or so) have said their's lasted a max of four months and then had a fatal glitch. Mine lasted a little over three. The gameshark deleted 90% of my codes and garbled the other 10%. To top it off I can't even reload them because of a "Hardware not detected" error. THIS IS COMMON AND CAN'T BE AVOIDED. It's a piece of junk. I'm looking into the Pelican code breaker mentioned by one of the other reviewers. It has to be better than this. Save your money or buy something else.

To all consumers that purchased a ps2 gameshark. I just recently bought one and mine didn't work either, so i called the makers of the gameshark and they told me basicly the same thing everyone else was told, and i have a ps2 system that has an older date code(bought when it first came out). So what I did was told it back and explained to the store manager what the problem was(whick gameshark is not compatible with my sytem and recieved my money back. If they refuse get a new one try it if itdoesnt work take it back again and again and again until they give you your money back.

Can you say HEADACHE?!!

I bought a PS2 and a Game Shark for my family for Christmas, and the Game Shark has been nothing but a big headache!! When I tried to use it, I kept getting an error basically saying that the disk wasn't PS2 compatible. After spending a few hours on the web (I couldn't return the darn thing since it was already open), I found out that I needed an update cd because the new version of PS2 (version 3, you can look on the back of your console to find out what model you have) wasn't compatible with it. After about a week I finally got a response from the manufacturer and they are going to ship out a free update. Well here we are a month later and I still haven't gotten it! I have tried to contact them again, but they haven't written back yet. It really erks me that they keep this product on the shelf right next to the new PS2's without any kind of warning...I bought mine at the giraffe store. One plus...the PS1 disk that comes with it actually does work!

Bottomline...wait for the Game Shark v 1.9 to come out unless you have an older PS2 OR Skip the free CD thing and pay an extra $10 bucks + shipping to use it sooner.

I did not like the gameshark for PS2. It was ruining my system. It always jammed my games, and even caused my system to overheat! I found something much better. It is the Codebreaker for PS2. It doesn't use the same method as the Gameshark. It stores the codes on your memory card that you can save games to, so you can use it on saved games. It also does not take up much room to save new codes on your PS2 memory card. I have entered over 150+ codes and it takes up 150kb's which everyone knows thats not much. So if you are looking for a cheat device, buy the Codebreaker.

If your interested in cheating and just messing around with your games, game shark is for you, plus you can get more codes at game shark.com for new games.
Game shark does not cost much, but I prefer only using it when you get stuck in a game or have beaten it

This does not actually give you codes, you have to go get them and add them. And Some of the codes may not even work! There is also a chance that it may accidentally delete everything on your memory card! If you have it i suggest saving everything on t wo memory cards just in case, good luck!

did not recieve

I am still waiting for the gameshark 2 that I payed for, it has been over 5 months now and I still never got it even though amazon insists that I did, I contacted some people several times and they are still trying to track it down, I am very disappointed that I had to pay for something I did not get and I am never using amazon again, it is too unreliable and would appreciate if amazon would stop emailing me.
