All you'd need to go online would be the Network adapter, which retails I believe for $49?
Hmm, something like that. I don't care, because it looks like I will buy the new PS2 thin model, and give my old PS2 away as a Christmas gift.
your DSL would be fast enough, as the "broadband" definition per Sony is 128Kb's, which I belive DSL surpases or meets at the minimum.
Oh, no problem there. My download speeds are 1,590 Kbits a second, or 198 Kbytes a second. More than enough.
The service, however, is going to be free, and you have to play online! lol.
Free? I can afford that. 👍
On the other hand, you could get a new PS2, but the benifit really isn't there for you, unless you just want the smaller one. I mean, to be honest, I'd wait.
For the PS3? Yep, I see your point, but that's if Sony is going to World release the PS3 in the Spring, like they've been saying for a while now. But, I don't see us getting it for at least three months past that. Say.... early-mid June... That's too long to wait. A new PS2 at say, $129.99, or maybe $99.99, would be worth a purchase. By the time I get a PS3, nobody is playing MGS3:S. They'll be stuck playing PS3 games, the poor stupid bastids.
Just a word of *hint* look for the PS2 to take a price drop *around* the holiday season, nearly the same time this releases. You'll be spending $50 more, but hey, you'll have a nifty slim PS2
lol.
That was my plan all along...
OH, and make sure you have a router or something, as you'll need Ethernet to connect your modem to your PS2, and I'm not entirely sure if DSL modems have Ethernet connectivity out of the box, or if you'll need a router or not.
The cable in use connecting to my PC is marked "ETHERNET" and is inserted in a connection labled "ETHERNET" on the Verizon modem, and with three squares on my PC. That's the right connection, I guess.
Does the PS2 go between the PC and modem, then?
Meow! (='.'=)
