when will the ps2 get online

I got 2 questions...

1: When we play online, we hook this up through our computers right? or is there going to be a way we can play on our televisions online?

2: PS2, is it 56k compatiable? will I be able to play FFXI on my 56k line? I don\'t care about lag but pleaaaaase tell me I can?

I think that you can just hook up the telephone cord right into the PS2 modem and play.  No computer required.  But If anyone wants to correct me on this, feel free to.  I\'m not sure about the Broadband connections, because I really don\'t know exactly how those things work.

Yep.  That is one advantage that the PS2 has over the Xbox in online gaming (actually, it\'s the ONLY advantage it has ;)).  It might get a little laggy, but it will still be fun.

clyde is right

the ps2 has 15 million+ units in peoples homes and that number grows like a fungus everyday

dont get me wrong, the xbox is a dandy console and may help you feel secure at night, BUT its coming out a year late.

how is it a year late?
ps2 is a year early...

both game cube and xbox are out now
when ps2 chose to be out earlier..

so ps2 is a 4th gen console
whereas xbox and game cube are 5th gen consoles

as i see it sony should/will release the ps3 to compete with the xbox and gamecube
die
