Title: Network Adapter released in Europe.
Post by: fastson on June 12, 2003, 08:21:50 AM: Well some parts at least :)

I have ordered one via a local store (they import from the UK), if I’m lucky I should have one tomorrow.
I was going to buy Socom as well, but I cant afford it right now.

$55 not a bad price, I was expecting the price to be set much higher.

Anyone know if they include a demo?
If so any idea which games you get to try?

Post by: fastson on June 12, 2003, 09:28:58 AM: Seems we dont get any demos.

Instead we get Central Station.

My friend scanned this from the litte brochure he got with Socom.

How is the PS2 online set up over there? Pay to play or similar to U.S. & Canada?

Im not sure about the first one. I read on uk.playstation.com that the UK beta-testers for Socom could not access American servers.
Ill know tomorrow when my friend gets his BBA.

I think it works the exact same way as in the US.
Free online play for most games.

SOCOM rocks, but I suck.

Another difference between the American and European NA\'s is that our are BB online only.

Unless they changed it.. :)

Post by: fastson on June 13, 2003, 01:59:34 AM: Maybe I should have bought the NA+TMBO, but it wasn’t available when I ordered.
Anyways, too late.. Its already somewhere in my area (prolly at the post office).

Feel kind of silly having the NA and no fricking games to play.
Hey I remember that you could "hack" TimeSplitters 2 and play online. Does that still work? :)

All PAL NA\'s are BB only IIRC :p

You can check the latest gaming-news, see previews, I think they are going to open up a chat or a forum or something later.

Im hoping to receive a demo disc soon :)

Post by: fastson on June 13, 2003, 08:36:17 AM: Seems my other post did not get posted..

Anyway, you can surf the web on Ps2 via a little "cheat"..
Quote
"I wasn\'t sure if I should post how but since the IP was posted here for the portal...

From the Network disc
click get connected
advanced options
configure external network device

then type the IP - easy

It was one of the beta guys that discovered how to do it, apologies to him if he sees this as I can\'t remember his name off hand.
Anyway guys enjoy it "

Works quite good, some sites work really well and other dont as they look really distorted.

Post by: juslight on June 13, 2003, 09:09:23 AM: WHAT IN THE?!?!?!??

Does the adapter come with a web browser over there????

Why didn\'t U.S. adapters have this feature?
Title: Network Adapter released in Europe.
Post by: fastson on June 13, 2003, 10:04:08 AM: The web browser is "hidden" .. But its not difficult to find it (go to "Get connected" ->Advanced Options -> then configure external network device and enter the IP of the site you want to access. My tip is to go to Google, from there you can get to any site)

I bet they will put a feature on Central Station that lets you surf without having to use the cheat..

Post by: juslight on June 13, 2003, 10:18:07 AM: Hmmm, I wonder if this is only on the European Adapters. I haven\'t heard of anyone doing this in the U.S.

We don\'t have "Central Station"

Post by: MPTheory on June 13, 2003, 12:26:17 PM: Im wondering if we just simply "missed" that part. ;)......NAAAHH, we would have found that.......I think.
