[edit] Comment

When I played Saga Frontier 2, I recall it having pocket station compatibility (and it was the US version)

-

Yep, I had an imported Pocketstation and would play the SF2 minigame at work all the time.

[edit] Copyright violation

The technical specifications of the PocketStation were directly copied into the wiki article from http://www.skattertech.com/2006/01/the-sony-pocketstation/. Possible copyright violation? --Nessup 02:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

No that information should come under free use. 202.7.202.2 06:25, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No, I don't think so

The specs aren't created by the site in question. They are factual pieces of information that cannot be copyrighted by a website that shows them.

[edit] PocketStation vs. VMU

Perhaps an expert can write a section on the rivalry between Sega and Sony as played out in the VMU vs. PocketStation "war"? Paul Haymon 10:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

"For example, using PocketStation a player may be able to 'level up' characters in one's favorite PlayStation game while driving their car to work."

Sounds dangerous. --Caeliv 23:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I've heard the games Love Hina 1 and 2 uses PocketStation. --200.103.117.40 16:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

I know this isn't about the article, but I need to know - could I import a Pocketstation and use it with an American ps2 and American FF8? I really don't want to have to get the PC version, so if there's any workarounds to the Pocketstation sidequest, I would like to know about it. Thanks to anyone who can answer!74.140.121.203 (talk) 03:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I've heard it will work, but you may want to check gamefaqs to be sure. Alternatively, you could use a GameShark (cheat device) to change the GF. --71.172.37.93 (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
