Summary: Prying Under the Lid
Comment: I have to fault Sony for one thing. They really do not want their customers knowing too much about how the PS2 works. For someone like me, who goes back to the Atari 800, this is a bit disappointing. Back in those days there was an entire subculture that lived for tinkering. Times have changed, but I found the manuals for the PS2 almost secretive, when some openness would make good marketing sense.

Well, where there is a niche, someone will eventually rise to fill it. In this case, Brian Underdahl has set down a great deal of information for the newly curious. Early chapters are something of an expanded manual, covering installation, and the basic options needed to make the machine do its best (a later chapter covers playing DVDs and CDs). Then there are chapters on games, connecting to the Internet, and networking machines. The final chapters are on cheating, covering everything from where to go to get hints to gadgets that let you 'fudge' a game. And a chapter on the kind of add-ons that will void your warranty.

The discussion is lucid, honest, and well illustrated. Underdahl deserves credit for going beyond marketing to present straightforward information that will increase you enjoyment of your game machine. I really wanted to find something that took more of a technical deep dive, but I have yet to discover a programmer's tutorial. Even so, I found out several things that will easily save me the cost of the book. For most people who are trying to figure out how to rig their machines, this is a Godsend. Recommended.
