I don't think there's anything you can do to get PS2 on your laptop, short of downloading a frigging PS2 emulator (if there even is one yet..)

I have actually wondered about the same thing....Since we do have the same laptop. I no longer have a PS2 anymore so it doesnt matter anyways.

To be honest, the external USB jobbies arent the best. Get yourself a PS2 LCD and be done with it. it's gonna cost the same, but look a whole lot better even though it's a smaller screen.
