Do you have to have a memory card for a Playstation 2?

Question

Xbox doesn't need one, does PS2?

Answer 1

PS2 requires a memory card to save games, yes.

Hard drives hadn't come out yet for game systems.

Answer 2

Yes for the PlayStation 2 a Memory Card is require to save your games. If you have a PS2 hard drive you can save it there but you can`t load it but is good to store it in case you get your Memory Card mess up.

Answer 3

the hard drives that were offered when the station first come out are nolonger in production, and even if you find one if you have a newer model system, its not even compateble. so what do you do? you go out to gamestop and buy a PLAYSTATION 2 MEMORY CARD not ps1 card ( witch are needed to save ps1 games if played on 2 for example ff7 cannot be saved with a ps2 card) PS2 ( and i caps it because i was given a ps1 card once as a gift cause it was cheaper and it still said playstation on it)

Answer 4

Well, u can play your games even if u dont have a memory card but u cant save your games, so yes u need one if u are planning to save a game, but u dont have to buy it in order to play your games.

P.S. You can go to these web sites if u want to buy a memory card.
