Sorry if this has been posted already, but the Network Adapter is up for preorder at Gamestop. I just ordered it along with SOCOM: Us Navy Seals. :bounce:
Network Adapter- http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=801403

I pre-ordered mine about a month ago at Software ETC (Gamestop....same thing)along with Tekken 4.
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:
-
I\'m getting mine FREE from Sony for being a Beta tester.. *runs from bricks and other debris thrown at head**:)
-
does anyone know if there is a monthy service charge for playing online with the ps2 modem? if so, whats the rate?
i was going to pre order it, but then those questions popped into my head, and the guys at software etc. couldn\'t answer them, so i reserved tekken 4, MK DA, and NFS HP :)
also, my DSL is only getting 40k/sec max bandwitdh, which is really low, should it be good enough for online play?

The reason they won\'t be getting my money is because I am not big on online console gaming.
Your just being plain stubborn bye not buying ms products:mad:

No fee for Sony\'s games (TMB, Socom, Freq, Gameday) but third party developers are free to charge if they wan\'t.
Also Everquest will have a monthy fee, as with many MMOPRG\'s, but that\'s not due out till 2003

ya i feel for ya.....possibly
I\'m still unsure if i have broadband.......are cable and broadband the same connections or are they different?......because i have a cable connection.
-
well, to be technical
a cable connection AND a dial-up modem are both broadband
-
yeah Broadband is anything over 56K...I believe.....if you want to check how fast your internet speed is go http://webservices.cnet.com/Bandwidth/ and input your Area code (for foreigners I think you can fake one), and then select your connection speed and click go to see how fast your connection speed is, Right now mine is at 1385kbps so about 1.385 Meg/sec I ususally average 600-700k.

You will have to buy a internet connection sharing device like a router, or a hub and you will also need another ethernet cable.
Here is what a router and hub look like.
