PS2 Network Adapter Info

From Sony themselves: http://www.scea.com/networkadaptor/index2.html

Availible this month with a free copy of Twisted Metal Black.

*drooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool*

Come on SCEE.. Spill it! DO IT! NOW!

I really hope it\'s worth the wait.  I\'ve never even played Tony Hawk 3 online so this kinda peaks my interest.

What day is is released?????

I just hope all the new online games will work with my current USB Ethernet Adapter setup, doubt I\'d buy the PS2 adapter yet since it doesn\'t add a hard drive if the new games work with what I already have.

its coming fastson end of the month ects

Hmm.. I need to buy a hub so I can get my PS2 and PC online at the same time.

That\'s what I need, isn\'t it?  Not really into all the networking gizmos.

Get yourself a Linksys Router with a couple of ports. They sell a 4-port for about $80-$90 and they sell an 8-port both specifically for shared DSL or Cable connections. You can connect as many devices to the router as there are ports (or you could add hubs/switches and connect up to 254 devices ). Plus the Router will help prevent attacks against you PC.

Ah.. Good to hear.

Im hoping they\'re using the US plans. Seems the best and least expensive.

Alright quick question here. If my cable modem is upstairs on my computer and I wanted to use that same modem for my PS2 a hub would be the best solution instead of running wires all over right? Secondly if my brother is playing a game on the internet and I am playing on the PS2 will my game go extremley slow if he\'s on at the same time.

I have a question.  If i have cable connection upstairs on my computer and a cable connection for my tv downstairs...can i just splice the cable connection for my tv into two cables and have one going to the tv and one going to the ps2?

Same here...i wanna see how i would fair against the rest of the world in that one.

darkchimp - you gonna have toi run wires regardless, UNLESS you get a wireless hub (more expensive)

kimahri - the PS2 network adaptor accepts a RJ45  cable connection, not what you plug into the back of yer TV (coax)

get a D-link router...you might need an ethernet card for your PC if you dont already have one

or:

a Small box that has a CAT5 input on one side and a USB port on the other  and plug it in to your USB port
