Post by: mm on August 29, 2002, 06:34:16 AM
best buy had about 10 of them left this morning when they opened, and they were all gone by the time i walked over to the DVD section and back

the lady said they got 50 total in, and put them out about an hour before close last night

the xbox section was ummmmm, how do i say this, overstocked?

addon\'s = failure huh?

Congrats - it looks like you lucked out like I did.  It does make you feel good to get something like this without a pre order ;)  Did you happen to buy SOCOM with it?  Speaking of SOCOM...

RANT:

Yeah the network adapter is a hot item now.  I was reading what Ultimate Male was saying about problems connecting to the SOCOM server (I saw the thread was closed) and thought I should point out to anyone who thinks this adapter is a failure that EVERY online game (PC especially) has had problems the first week or so after launch.  Everquest had serious problems for the first few weeks, don\'t even get me started about Anarchy Online.  I cancelled my account after of month of their promises... but I hear it is running fine now.  These problems are not related to the network adapter, but to the server ie the SOCOM server.  With so many people buying the adapter and SOCOM its no surprise that the SOCOM servers are getting hammered.  With such a high profile game I am sure the problems will be corrected very soon.  To make a judgment THE DAY OF LAUNCH is just plain stupid.
 
END RANT

Anyway, I really like the adapter and it brings a whole new aspect to the PS2.  Now if Sony can get a cheap HD to fit in there I would be in heaven.

PS - oh yeah to any Xbox fanatics - I traded in 4 Xbox games to get my adapter.  I am not an PSfanboy - I also bought Dead to Rights and am enjoying that game as well.

Wait ... you\'re using the network adaptor ... on Madden??  EB and Wal Mart both told me that something with Madden isn\'t working yet ... and only Socom is?

I got mine yesterday.....In the mail....FROM SONY...FOR FREE!!

Ok, enough gloating:D

Bad news is, I gotta wait on my DSL modem:(

My comp is upstairs, and PS2 in the basement, so I\'m hooking up a DSL modem directly to the NA on the PS2.
I should be up and running by Tue\'s (9-3) or so...
