Title: Online questions
Post by: on December 25, 2002, 11:12:49 PM
First of all- having seeing more and more games with online capabilities I have some questions:

1) I live in Alaska, USA. Do they support it here? Alot of people treat us as if we weren\'t part of the United States, and I thought I read somewhere excluding Hawaii & Alaska from online. I might\'ve dreamt it up.

2) Is it really worth it? I have a broadband internet. But is it going to be worth it? Or will it eventually die out, and be worthless?

1) I have no clue. I always forget about hawaii though,lol.

2) I think it is worth it. Its only 40 bux once which is nothing now-a-days. The games i have for online play are socom, tribes, and madden and they are good. And there are gunna be a bunch more in the future.


Might want to look up if they exclude alaska before getting it. Would be gay if they do cuz, like you said, alaska is part of the USA.

Well, if you already have BB internet service, my guess would be that your already supported.

The way an online game works is this: You load the game, and say you want to play, then the game looks for the modem/Na and the rest is in the modem/Na\'s hands.

The Modem/Na get\'s into "cyberspace" through your ISP, and get\'s routed directly to the games servers.

So if you have a working ISP I don\'t see how you couldn\'t use PS2 online....
Don\'t worry about ISP\'s, I have a very local and obscure ISP and it all works fine.
