HDD via OPM

I just want to get one but I don\'t even think the importers have them.

just think of all of the crap you can download to your HDD from the internet for your games!:) Looks really fun.... although.... I\'ll be too far away from my computer to hook it up through my modem..... I wonder how much the internet service thingy would cost....

Browsing should work through your own provider.  As it seems right now, each individual game will be working on seperate networks, averaging $5 a month to play that particular game online.  I bet that when Square comes out with a couple online games they will all play through the PlayOnline network for the same $5 a month for all square games.

The actual internet connection is up to you.  (I\'m planning on going through my dorm\'s "free" cable service.

so I can run a cord through my computer and get this all for free right? Or still have to pay?

I, for one, hope the HDD fails worse than 32X or Virtual Boy.

I just want the world to see that add-ons just don\'t work, as was shown by Sega (and NEC and Nintendo). I don\'t want to have to buy an add-on to play games I want to on a system I don\'t see me buying games for, a few years down the road.


Plus, it will tarnish Sony\'s rep and will encourage them to make a better product, al la Dreamcast for Sega. Also, it will give the other guys a chance if Sony\'s god like image is cast down.


of course, I am a vengeful, hateful Sega fan.

One, you cannot hook it up through your computer. im sure somewhere down the road someone will devise a way but its not suported. You can get a Hub and run the ethernet to your PS2 from the cable/dsl modem that way.Two, All games will not require a pay to play. Square has stated that thier PLAYONLINE will require a mountlhy service and that youmust have this service to play Square games but that is all. Twisted Metal and Armored Core and others will nto be Pay to play.

I beleive thats all for right now.

RIP HDD. Overpriced, underused, and unnecessary.

Yes Caspian, I know you are in love with it, so please don\'t respond to this. Pretend like it never happened.
