Post by: nataku on August 21, 2002, 02:03:21 PM: I\'m gonna take the chance that I can just walk into my local Best Buy and pick one up on the 27th, either that or just head down to Mega Mart. They have everthing all the time. Mmmmm Mega Mart.

Post by: Soul Reaver on August 21, 2002, 02:05:27 PM: Yea, I\'ll just buy it at the store. Chances are that it probably will be there.

Post by: DiamondCutter2 on August 21, 2002, 02:20:35 PM: Hey anyone know weather you will have to pay for the broadband service for either ps2 or xbox?
Title: I hope you preordered the network adaptor..
Post by: mm on August 21, 2002, 02:25:38 PM: Seraphim Pride , those USB are not guaranteed to work with future games, its a gamble

DiamondCutter2 , xbox live will cost 50$ the 1st year, and 10$+ a MONTH after that.

PS2 online = free.

NEITHER SERVICE covers yer ISP cost. that is totally sperate

Post by: IronFist on August 21, 2002, 08:04:18 PM: I went to Babbages earlier today to try and preorder the BBA (coincidentally, it was before I saw this thread), and of course I couldn\'t. They stopped taking preorders 3 months ago! It\'s not that big of deal to me though, because the only game I really wanted to play online was TS2.

Post by: The Stapler on August 21, 2002, 08:26:59 PM: If I can\'t pick one up on the 27th, I\'ll just use the Lynksys until I can pick one up.

Post by: kangu-G^Ltt^s on August 21, 2002, 08:32:30 PM: Well considering Sony is planning on selling just 400,000 in NA in the remainder of the year they probably aren\'t shipping more than 100,000 units for launch, something as low as 70,000 wouldn\'t suprise me.
Title: I hope you preordered the network adaptor..
Post by: Chrono on August 21, 2002, 08:35:44 PM: I read 250,000 (not offical or anything)
Title: I hope you preordered the network adaptor..
Post by: on August 21, 2002, 08:36:37 PM: I\'m just gonna stop by Freddies, or Kmart and pick it up. It is gonna be in there, since only like almost no one in Juneau is even gonna know it is out. :D

Post by: Seraphim Pride on August 22, 2002, 05:04:13 AM: I know the usb\'s not guaranteed but it might work with the first batch of games mayble like 3. Anyways I will get the adapter mainly cuz of TMB online. I doubt I\'ll get it on launch though. I can wait.

Post by: on August 22, 2002, 11:08:32 AM: Actually, I am gonna pick up Socom Navy Seals first (It is released the same day, right?) Rather than the Adaptor, which I will buy later.
Title: I hope you preordered the network adaptor..
Post by: Soul Reaver on August 22, 2002, 11:16:20 AM: They\'re both released the same day? I\'ll probably get Socom first then.

BTW, how is the adaptor gonna look like attached to the PS2? I hope it won\'t look retarded or anything.

Post by: kirath on August 22, 2002, 11:19:18 AM: I should have mine direct from sony here this or next week...

Post by: on August 22, 2002, 12:49:23 PM: I think it goes in the back. If you look it should have an expansion bay or sumtin. Just pop that open. It looks pretty spiffy.

Post by: KillaX on August 22, 2002, 03:21:29 PM: My softwarew ETC and the one where GAMES works is still charging the Pre-e3 price......They will get an earful if they try to pull that carp with me...I wont pay that much! I\'m taking circulars from evry gaming place and off their homepage (their page with the BBA is gone but I printed it out before that so if they say no.....WATCH OUT! it is already paid off.......I could get those creds back and use them for another game.

:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

Post by: Living-In-Clip on August 23, 2002, 04:19:45 AM: I\'m not surprised that the network adapter is selling. Sony has plenty of big games coming out for it - and a lot of them are not even broadband only. As for the HD - Sony still doesn\'t have many reasons to own one of those, so I\'ll stick to my guns on that and say it is a potenial failure.
;)

Post by: DiamondCutter2 on August 23, 2002, 12:06:17 PM: Wait I heard someone say that you need a diff type of wire for the broadband then comes off of a regular cable modem....WTF is that and is it true.

No. You need an ethernet cable, just like the one that goes into your computer. No big deal.
