PS2 Network Adapter and 40GB for $39.95?????
« on: May 17, 2001, 12:01:07 AM »
I don\'t think so if i had to pay more than $350 for all that i won\'t buy a sony ps2, the xbox will have all that for $299, Sony you won\'t win the console wars with that strategy, one thing add-on\'s don\'t sell well sony should sell the network adapter-HDD very soon before GC and XBOX launch for a cosiderable installed online base

Sony will probably drop the PS2\'s price right before the Xbox and the NGC are launched, so it won\'t be a problem.

In the UK it is expected that the PS2 will drop from £299 to £199 in September.  Sony were going to do a price drop sooner but it would have only been £50......

to there are ways to give the illusion of AA,without having to take cuts in performance,and some developers are are taking advantage of themhowever ,until SOny comes up with a specific and easy ways to implement true AA that dosent take major hits on performance,you probably wont be seeing a huge number of games take advantage of it.

Ethernet adapter and hardrive are seperate. But cambubmba, you\'re wrong about one thing. Xbox has a ether net adapter out of the box but no modem. So you have to still get some kind of broad band modem, but they don\'t have an option for 56k which most people have.  Sony\'s ethernet adapter is hybrid with 56k so it\'s an all in one solution. So if you don\'t have broad band, and most people don\'t, you\'re gonna be spending alot more that 39.99 to get online.

Another thing you have to remeber is that Xbox doesnt come with DVD out of the box,you have to buy an add on to activate it.

well... here\'s what i think sony will do... they will drop the price of the PS2 to around $200-$250....

then they will charge 299 for a bundle... it will come with an extra controller and the broadband adapter or HD.....

what i want is the network adapter... can\'t wait till some multiplayer games with the PS2 and my cable connection

Yes, but DVD movie functions have nothing to do with the games. Online and HDD do. So you can\'t compare the 2.

No, he\'s replying to a post about features vs cost, and so you can compare any feature.  The adapter costs more for PS2, the DVD costs more for the box.  It won\'t matter much neways, I wouldn\'t place any bets right now as to how either console or add-on will do.  I can\'t predict how people will react to each seperate feature...

Does the ethernet adapter really come with a HD?  I was looking around yesterday and I saw some info about the adapter, but it mentioned no where a HD.
