Dial-up gaming?? I thought that died out in \'94! F*ck that, I ain\'t paying a $100 bucks for a USB modem for a game that only supports Dialup connections. Worthless, absolutely worthless.

Couldn\'t they just have another mode that lets you play over the internet.  I mean they could at least give you a choice, right?

Heh, this makes me appreciate what Sega has done with the DC as far as online play.

It seems as if the people [casual gamers] that we consider to know absolutely nothing are the ones that actually know the most important thing: Name brands don\'t make the console, games do.

im not liking the online things for ps2...this is $100 (prolly american) and for crappy dial-up....and the HDD is goin to be only BB :( and that will prolly also cost more :(
im still on phone-line and if they make the HDD phone line compatible and not TOO expensive then ill be happy :)
