You should be able to use your cable connection / existing ISP

You will have to buy SOny\'s Ethernet adapter and a second cable modem to connect to the PS2. Not to mention running the cable to wear your PS2 is

You can use DSL which does not tie up your Dads phoneline cause it runs on a different bandwidth then your telephone

as for cost It shouldn\'t cost you anything unless you sign up for some of the pay to play online games. Otherwise most games should be pretty much connect and play I do believe

Wait, my cable modem is outside of my computer, it isnt built in, will i still have to buy a new one or is it that everyone has to buy, a modem, hardrive, adaptor and does the adaptor depend on what modem you buy?
