had to open and clean the ps2 to get blue disc to play but other than that more consoles for my network player 2 setup.

I too would like to get 6 of the old fat PS2s with the firewire connection for the ultimate Gran Turismo 3 single player set up.
Yes one can play single player with 6 screens.
If I remember correctly the screens go front view, 2 side views, back view, and last 2 screens were either 2 data screens, or data and highlights of other drivers (can't remember which).
The Gran Turismo Tokyo-Geneva has the same if I have understood correctly.

I never knew about this. That sounds awesome. Any chance that one of the extra screens you weren't sure about would be the "replay view?"

Why do they have to be fat PS2s? There was a time that I had at least 6 PS2, but 4 of them were slims.

Replay or highlights screen is possibility.

And only the old Phat ones have the Firewire port needed for linking the consoles. Ethernet was not supported in these games as it was not out yet.

Form a little research, I'm only finding as many as 3 screens for single player. I've found six screen options, but it's for LAN multi player racing. In this setup, one screen can be used for viewing the race if you have fewer than 6 players.

It looks like GT4 has the same option but uses the Ethernet connections which makes it compatible with all PS2s (as long as the fat models have network adapters).

The Time Crisis games are also good FireWire candidates.
