Back After A Couple Of Years

[tuxedokiller]

Okay...here I am again. Ready to lose ridiculous amounts of weight and stay up into the late hours playing this highly addictive game. I'm READY.

Seriously, I'm pumped. But I have a few questions.

I last played...a lone time ago. Is there any way I can retrieve my information back? I.E. PlayOnline ID, character, anything?

Also, I think that I will play on my Playstation. But which one? I have a 2 (it's old, I had to get the HDD thing) - or the 3? I have heard the complaints from the PS3, but never from the 2 - that I first played on.

I'm willing to buy a newer Ps2...would I need to get anything?

FOCUS: Is there any way I can retrieve my information back? And which system would you prefer to play on? PS3 or PS2?

Edit: also after looking around, it looks like i'll need to buy new installation disks. is this true?
