The USB ports on the PlayStation 2 are multi-purpose, and could in theory be used for any peripheral that a game wanted. The most common uses are for the EyeToy, the PlayStation 2 headset, and the Guncon II (a light gun). Some games also support saving screenshots to a USB Flash drive or printing to a USB printer. Plugging in an MP3 player or iPod via USB cable can also be used to charge it while you play the playstation.
