My post siad XI(Eleven). I dont know where anyone got IX (Nine).

And Troglodyte not all of the online games require the Hard Drive. But it appears most developers feel it decreases loadtimes amung other things and implemented it.

Caspian is now going to take a chill pill. . .

The HDD is also used for getting new levels online (for more online fun) and new characters...perhaps new music and whatnot. There\'s a million things you can do with it...which is why a lot of online games may require the HDD (don\'t be yellin\' at me now...that\'s just what I\'ve heard). ;)

Well its pretty easy..

You buy the Harddrive and/or Enthernet adapter. (You need the EA. but not the HDD to go online.)

Then you just plug in your Broadband modem or your 56.6 modem into the enthernet adapter..

Want to know anything else.. Just ask :)

Oh yeah, SONY has teamed up with AOL, RealPlayer, Ciscosystems and some others.. :)

I\'m pretty sure the 56k is built into the adapter.
Anyways, my predictions are looking more and more likely. Sony drops the PS2 price than sets up an online package that costs $300.  Now what do they have over Xbox that will allow this? An existing library of top notch games, built in 56k, and a 2 year old graphic chip that will be near matching the xbox with still more potential left (oh, lets not forget brand recognition).  We all here are early adapters, and thus we have to suffer the consequences of paying more to have it first.

Yeah, I have looked at a picture of the Enthernet adapter and the 56.6 modem looks like its in-built..
So then you only need to connect the phone-cord to the "back enthernet box" :)

I also think SONY will bundle the HDD and the E.N.A. with PS2 or some ISP contract..
Something like that.. (Perhaps 1st party games.. Like TMBO, SOCOM.. And then FFXI)
