I'm from argentina, buying stuff from eBay is very complicated. But I will some day check for used systems in the local market.
About the cheats, I totally understand you, but for example, my case, I already completed the game 100% several times when I was a kid, if I get the game again, I will use cheats to unlock all the maps, cuz freeride is what I like the most (like free skating), and cheating wont make me play unproperly.
get it....i love that game
I had some complications with the PS2 - the disc drive got messed up in the post and wouldn't spin anything, let alone read it.
So I am sending it back for a refund.
This morning however, I just walked down to my local EB Games (Australian version of Gamestop, just way more expensive) and got a preowned PS2.
It worked great, and is actually the latest model of the console before they stopped producing them. I have played the crap out of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX - as it is the only game that has arrived.
And I am anxiously waiting for the arrival of the other games hahaha
Also a question for anyone who knows anything about it - 'Grind Session'. Apparently a lot of people like it more than THPS1 and THPS2, do you guys have any experience with it?
Thanks
Grind session was a decent game. Not as good as Thrasher but worth the buy.
Yeah, Grind Session looks pretty good but I have higher priorities at the moment.
Thrasher: Skate and Destroy arrived! I have only spent a little bit of time with it so far, but am really liking it. I am impressed with how many possibilities for lines and stuff there are. Unfortunately, the massive speed boost you get when pushing makes it a bit of a pain to get the speed you want, but apart from that its great. Can't wait to spend some more time with it. May do it right now in fact hahaha

I might be wrong, since its been more than 8 years since I last played that game but, didn't it have very clean, crispy sounds? (both skate and enviroment sounds). Good audio makes me like a game even more.
Yeah, still looking into it.
Although, I am so deeply engrossed by THPS1, THPS2 and MHPBMX at the moment hahahahah
so so much more fun than tony hawk hd
Sorry, I might come off a bit biased but whoever said Thrasher was the best skating game before Skate is retarded. Yeah, it's good, it's a cult classic even. The learning curve was high but the difficulty is what people liked. However, as a full game, you gotta be kidding me, not even close. THPS2 alone was 10x better then Thrasher not counting the other additions to the series. Grind session is fun, but it's THPS without the star power or features, not really much difference.
If you're looking for some old playstation Extreme sports game nostalgia here's some of my favorites people don't really pay attention too.
Razor: Freestyle Scooter

Like Grind Session with scooters. I had fun with it.
Aggressive Inline

More well known but it still falls short on peoples memory.
Disneys Extreme Skate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6V0u...eature=related
One of my favorites. THPS4 engine with Create-A-Skater and fun levels/characters. Loved it.
X-Games Skateboarding

I was in the minority of people who actually liked this but I really did enjoy it and I have fond memories.
Evolution Skateboarding
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE2yd...eature=related
If there was a skating game that had potential it was Evolution Skateboarding. It was the first game introducing create-a-trick and the gameplay wasn't horrible. It was fun and I enjoyed it a lot as a kid.
Honorable mention:MTV Snowboarding

I don't know if you like snowboarding games, the obvious winners are SSX but this game was one of my favorites growing up. I liked the fast paced gameplay and it felt smoother/easier to pick up than any other ps1 snowboarding game available.
Dishonorable mention: BMXXX

Since everyone is mentioning Dave Mirra, remember this crappy gem of art? This was suppose to change the way we look at video games as adults forever, haha. No.
