You know it would be nice if they let you trade in originals for online version and pay like extra 10 bucks or whatever.  That would be the right thing to do I think.  Or at least make the online version cheap and only allow online gaming and practice, no first player mode, endings, story..etc.

80-100??? thats fuking high.

  • it might be free or at a low price if you sing up to a Service Provider thats approved from Sony.

I\'m 70% sure that the new TMB online disk will be $20. (Read it somewhere)

The 39.99 adaptor comes with a coupon for TMB online.

I have a job, a good one at that and Im sure I make way more than you.  I just dont like blowing my money and 80-100 bucks in addition to an already 200 dollar console is kinda hefty (plus games, adapter, controller...).  There are other leisures in life like going out (100 dollar nights here in NYC), drugs, weed, girls, clothes..etc.

So STFU.  You are an asshole.

And the casual gamer has spoken...Let\'s see, 40$ for the adapter, 80-100$ for the HD, plus 20$ a month (guesstimate as to what your ISP cost), and a game.

So to get online and gaming it will cost a total of:

40$ Adapter
+
100$ Hard-drive
+
15$ ISP (Prediction)
+
40$ PS2 Game
_____________________

195 dollars.


Cheap? Well I don\'t know where you richboys come from but that is some serious dough right there. I hope there will be just a giant bundle for like 100 bucks at the max.
