Since when do they have firewire ports? Mine doesnt! And I bought it a year ago January!

Some of the earlier ones do, but it didn't get much use so they stopped putting them in a while ago.

Yep, my first one had one. 2nd one didnt.

Mine did, never was sure what it was for.

Too bad you couldnt hook up like a Firewire HDD.

there must've been a good reason to take it off.

Speaking of External HDD's for the PS2, has anyone seen that? Shiz...

a waste of money to carry on making them if they weren't going to get used

Would it have been used for online multiplayer?
