I was just wondering if someone could could provide some info on this. Is it worth it? How easy is it to use? Thanks for your time.

Its a disaster. If you do buy one make sure to get version 1.4. At least then you might have a chance of getting it to work. Version 1.0 through 1.3 are full of bugs and some work with some PS2s and not others. Sony is changing the software in the PS2 to try and stop devices like the Gameshark from working. Now that Interact is not allowing anyone else to write codes there is a serious lack of codes for the PS2. The major releases have codes, but many other titles are getting no attention at all. Gungriffon still doesn't have any working codes and it was a launch title. Stay away from the Sharkport though. It is full of bugs and many people are having their game saves corrupted using it. I expect the Gamesharks to all have to be upgraded when GT3 comes out, because it is going to have a new software update for the PS2 built into it. Sony is going to fight hard to keep the Gameshark and modchips from working.
