The PS2 Online Revolution Begins !!!
« on: May 15, 2001, 08:41:16 AM »
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and America Online today announced a strategic alliance that will allow the companies to work together to bring the AOL experience to consumers on the PlayStation 2. It will give PlayStation 2 users the ability to use features like instant messaging, chat and email on their computer entertainment system.
SCEI will release a network adapter for the PlayStation 2 that will allow them to connect to the Internet through AOL, as well as play Internet-enabled software, and the two companies will work on a specialized Netscape browser optimized for Sony\'s hardware......

Yeah really. MS has more resources than AOL. So I bet there online support will be better. i could care less if AOL supported Ps2. According to me, AOL is the ****tyest company in the world (next to MS!) and I hate them

I was initially upset, but as long as I don\'t have to actually USE AOL as an isp, I guess----we\'ll see:crap:

Crap. It had better not be "Cable" broadband ONLY:(:(

I have DSL, and prefer that over cable(Lag). Besides I can only afford one isp, and I will always be cygnus@blackhole!!! (trivial....yeah, so?!):)

I\'m a bit fuzzy on the whole online thing for PS2.  Are you guys saying that they will force us to use the ISP THEY choose?  Will they let us use our own?  I have cable, and I really, really don\'t want to get dial-up EVER AGAIN.  On the other hand, if they do start out with broadband, will they let me use the provider I have now?  I really, really don\'t want to get a seperate account with someone else to play online games.  Besides, my wife would NEVER let me!  :D
