Tony Hawks 3 isn\'t compatable with AOL im afriad. I need to change my ISP too as it only takes 22 character long usernames and mines longer.

Actually i\'ve read that modem play is completly fine, infact as good as broadband except with the occasion snag but not something which will hamper a none broadband user. I hope its like these for all games because not everyone (me included) can get broadband.

Perfect Cell, AOL is incompatable reguardless of the username length. The username length thing is just a restriction in place on all ISPs.
