The official Sony network adapter will be available this fall..  I am pretty sure the HD will be released at about the same time, maybe even as a package...

Im really confused now

If I have cable internet,  what products do I need to get my PS2 a browser and cable internet?

If I use anything besides Sonys offical product will I not be able to play certain online games???!?!?!?!?

Which do you need a network adapter or a cable modem or both?

About getting my PS2 online? I have this ADSL modem for my PC. So I just get a USB adapter, plug that in the USB on the front of my PS2 then connect from my modem to the adapter. Right?

You\'ll need a hub to connect both your PC and your PS2 though.
