I originally heard about the Adapter because I was previewing Final Fantasy XI- for which you need the adapter to play online. Not sure when FFXI is due in the states or uk, but it looks great, as always.And yes, it's $40 and then you'll have to pay $10-12 a month to play.(I'm NOT complaining, just explaining) Not sure if you're interested...

I personally wont get ffxi cause I am not really a rpg fan but I have been playing some rpg games to see if there better than I assumed they are. Right now I am playing morrowind (pc). I am not that far but so it seems like a good game. Oh yeah is an armour rating 18 good i am at bolermor or something like that in the begging.

Hope you weren't asking me cause don't own a PC right now and have no idea what you're talking about- SORRY! Supposedly (this is only what I heard at my local EB Gameworld) you won't need a PC at all to play online with the adapter...

[CyBeR XxX]

you will only have to pay for playing ff11 and you also need the hdd to play that game!! so the hdd haven't been released on the us yet so i think that it will pass a long time to play ff11 since you can only play it online!!! i got the adaptor and i'm playing socom navy seals online and really really cool!! and freeeee! so hurry up and get ur adaptors and lets start playing dudes!!! ohh one more thing when you buy the adaptor it comes with a sartup disc wich includes 2 demos that you can play online (madden nfl 2003 and the other one i don't remember!! it's a music game wich it sucks) and that's right you don't need a pc to play online just an isp!! socom us navy seals only supports broadband,dsl etc.. for other games you can play with 56k! hope this give you all an idea of how it works!! peace out!!

[Armadillo]

i got socom 2day ,im gonna try it online 2morrow hopefully ,but be warned 56k'ers have found away online 4 this game even though that aint supposed to play with 56k.Also its apperently making alot of the servers laggy cos there are 56k'ers everywhere

[col]

man...i want socom....and i want the network adapter...but then i would have to shell out another 100 bucks+tax... im poor already after getting my new computer:(.. maybe i could get it for christmas as well....hopefully...

[Armadillo]

i aint got the network adapter ,but im hopeing that i can just plug my usb modem straight into the ps2 ,cos in official ps2 magazine (uk 1) they said u should be able to and they tried it with a few modems

[col]

what u can do that???? so can i plug my dsl line to it too or something....r u sure.....then who would buy the adapter then... and whats the adapter used for then...

[Armadillo]

no my adsl modem would plug into the usb port on my ps2 then my line go's into the modem.Also no i aint sure if u can do it but it said in ps2 official magazine u can do it and my pc's usb mouse works on my ps2 so i dont see y my modem wouldent

Anyway i will try it 2morrow and find out :)

[CyBeR XxX]

i already tried that with my usb modem and it didn't work so i had to call my isp so that they could give a ethernet modem and i had to buy the network adaptor!! so i don't think it shouldn't work for any of you guys!! go ahead and buy the network adapter!!!:)
ohh you really need a ethernet modem!! if u have a usb modem u wont be able to connect it to the network adaptor!! like i said i had to call my isp so that they could change it!! i u have a usb modem where the f... r u gonna plug it in on the daptor??? if ur thinking of:
connect ur usb modem then conect with a ethernet cable to your nic card and plug it in the adaptor!! maaaan that wont work!! i tried that and it didn't:( well good to all of u guys!!:)

[Armadillo]

I was just gonna plug the usb modem directly into the usb port on the ps2 and hope it works ,cos i aint buying a network adapter

[CyBeR XxX]

like i said bro!! u wont have any luck!!
but good luck anyways.....

[Armadillo]

dam it it wont work the ps2 know the modem is there but wont use it cos no drivers 4 it .Gonna have to find the old ps2 mag that said u could do it and find out what they done

[CyBeR XxX]

Like i said dude! it woooooont wooooooooorkkk! i tried that b4 like a 1000 times with no luck! so i decided to change my modem for a ethernet 1 i paid $200 for that and $40 for the network adaptor and $60 for the game a total of $300! well a little too much for playing online but hey i just couldn't missed playing online with my ps2! but i think it's worth it!
well good luck again...

[col]

u paid 300 bucks to just go online:eek: ..... damn.... i would rather buy another console and some games..... i have to think about if or if not to buy and pay 100 bucks to play online...

no bro u don't need pay all that if you already have ethernet modem or something like that, i had to pay for a new modem cause i had a usb modem wich it doesn't work! so that's $200 less if u already have one , so you will have pay just for the network adaptor + the game $60= $100!
i really can't belive how your thinking about paying $100. go ahead and buy it, (just imaging that ur paying for 2 games) once u start playing online you will forget about all ur other games!! it's really cool.
i really want to go against all of you guys! :)

[Armadillo]

do u have to buy a ethernet modem ,could u not just buy a ethernet card 4 the pc if u have a usb modem ?

[CyBeR XxX]

sorry dude it doesn't work like that! u can't connect the ps2 2 the internet like that for some reason! i tried that with a 100 diferent methods and it didn't work:( so i had to buy a ethernet modem! ($200) for the modem :(

[Armadillo]

well that sucks then im just gonna stick with pc online games then :)

[Armadillo]

i found a way to do it with my usb adsl modem here
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/5045

This is also how the 56k'ers get online with socom :)

[CyBeR XxX]

cool dude thanks for the info, i'm gonna return the Edited by: micro761 ethernet modem....:)

[CyBeR XxX]

i know i shouldn't do this but i was just taking a look at my first post on mgf! it's a post i'll never forget! :) i don't know why i didn't even introduced my self! maybe i just didn't know about it! ohh well yeah yeah mod just close it! anyways i just wanted to introduce my self i know it's bit late but here it goes!

Hi i'm scyraxxx nice to be part of this forums! :)

[JAGPANZER]

Cmon guys lets be honest here.

Nothing is free, period.

Right now various companies provide some gamer access for free to get PS online some market penetration.
Invariably, someone will have to start charging a fee or the server quality will nosedive from lack of maintenance.

If the response to PS online changing(not if only when) over to a pay to play service is anything like Apples switch from iTools to .Mac, SCEA is in for big trouble.

Long run prospects are that XBXLV will stay price stable for quite awhile into the future.

Don't get me wrong, I like my Network Adapter(the Hdd logo mocks me but hey so does scy). But XBXLV is clearly a better package.

MOTO GP is cooler than Madden
Frequency proved that Whacked wasn't a total boner.
The Twisted Metal Black disk was cool, to those of us lucky enough to get our adapters before december 31st.

I got the Everquest Beta disk. I gave it to my ex-guitarist since he's more likely to use it(he's an rpg suckah, and a ps2ber what a mook). It looked good, kinda blocky here and there, no voice support with the beta.
If it's your thing, Everquest looked cool, and Sean gave it a thumbs up.

He has SOCOM online and it seems to be one of the few games he has in steady rotation(his girlfriend says she thinks he's talking to himself <even an argument once because she thought Sean was barking at her lol> until she remembers the PS2 voice link.

Forget the cheapo backdoor hacks. Get a fuggin adapter.

Believe me, with the XBXLV kit outselling the Sony Adapters by a margin of 86%, Sony NEEDS to move adapters ASAP to show their developers that the market is out there and ready to BUY BUY BUY.

[CyBeR XxX]

yeah i agree with u xbl is way bette but socom it's fun to play online!

[SuBzErO]

Xbx live is better but I am content with what I have and it hasnt gave me anything to complain for yet. As for socom omg that game is awsome no lag what so ever it is my favorite online game I have.

[CyBeR XxX]

yes it's an aswome game! i wish lot of ppl here on mgf had the game! talking about online game freak i had to go out all day so ready now?

[SuBzErO]

yes and I private messaged you so yeah.

[JAGPANZER]

Will they come out with a sakura pink network adapter?

The black would clash quite horribly: a big clunky black box hanging on it's rear; I do hope they at least offer a replacement shell.

[Ct.Johnny]

Xbox is probably gonna have more games to play online but socom is really fun :grin:

[JAGPANZER]

Of course they are.

And yes it is.
