What Are the USB Ports on the Playstation 2 for?

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports on the Sony Playstation 2 operate similarly to the USB ports on your computer. USB ports allow for data to pass bi-directionally, as well as power to be supplied to any device connected to the port. The USB ports on the Playstation 2 allow for many peripherals to be connected to the gaming console.
  1. Eye Toy

    • This device, similar to a computer webcam, allows games designed for the Eye Toy to be played by moving your body. The camera tracks your movements and translates them into in-game movements.

    External Hard Drive

    • This peripheral is only used for Final Fantasy XI, but allows you to download extra content for the game, as well as optimizing loading times.

    Keyboard and Mouse

    • The keyboard and mouse setup can be used in games such as SOCOM. This feature can only be used on games compatible with a USB keyboard and mouse, so check the back of the box for the words "Keyboard and Mouse Support."

    Flash Drive

    • Many cheat devices for the Playstation 2, such as Codebreaker, allow you to transfer games saves to and from a USB storage device, such as a flash drive.

    Charge Devices

    • The USB port on the Playstation 2 can also be used to charge any device you own, such as an MP3 player or phone, that attaches to your computer's USB port to charge. Keep in mind that this feature will only work when the Playstation 2 is turned on.
