PS2 Networking Plan! *rummor*

I have dsl modem and things are way faster than they used to be... so I can\'t agree on that screw-thingy there

well, of course I\'d like a 100meg/s broadband but ah well, that\'s only dreaming... this is reality and I\'m fine with it

well the hdd is being made by the same people who are making the hdd is the xbox. the xbox\'s hdd is 8 gig so i reckon the ps2 is gonna be the same.
I am using 56k at the moment and i played counter-strike for ages using it. the ping was fine until my computer got really slow. i reckon the gamespeed will be fine. look at the dreamcast.

This was sonys weakest point...this sucks ass most ppl can\'t afford to buy ps2 with accessories then buy a online addon. This will screw a lot of ppl. I have 700 dollars saved for another console but I won\'t say the name..ends with X. I think they should give up the 56k cause it sucks and the price of cable modem is going down..I hate waiting to play online with dc too much waiting. I love cable though it ten times faster!!!!!!!!!

that\'s just bull****, I personnaly don\'t think it\'s stupid, cause this way people that care about online playing can buy te thing and the people who don\'t won\'t have to pay for the thing when they buy their ps2.

I hope you don\'t comit suicide when you find out the price of your x-box... i\'m hearing from several places 450 to 550 dollars...

Concerning hardrive price, how much do you wanna pay?
I am assuming there will be more then one version 10 gig, 20 gig, etc. I for one would buy a 20 gig, but not everybody loves games as much as I do, some may only want a 10. Choice is something that sony has given us, lets hope they make this add-on a success.

I also hear rumors that with a 2 year subscription to Final Fantasy 11, you will get a free hardrive and ethernet modem!

Considering the HUGE MINORITY of people in the US actually have access to broadband, you have to consider the "little people" who are oh so unfortunate to live where they live.  It\'s unfair to single them out becuse of a flaw in their cable company\\phone company.  However, they do have satelite dishes, but that\'s all heresay when the ground broadband is the choice of most as well as the cheapest.  People on 56k may lag out or freeze in-game more often then BB people, but they deserve the right to at least game with us, no matter their preference\\or what they can afford.  I\'d be happy to kill any lagger in Outtrigger or burn any lagger in Wipeout.  That\'s just my opinion though, one of the casual DSL user

I agree does make sense, but if you want cable modem you can easily get it. Only 20$ a month hear. After you use faster service you never want 56k again. But seeing how every ain\'t go it I guess you do need one I just hate all that freezing and lag time.
