live4speedIt's called X-Link Kai, you obviousely need a network adapter for it to work but it basically fools your PS2 into thinking the internet connection is a LAN connection, so you can play GT4 online through the LAN mode. Do a search for X link in the GT4 section, theres a few threads about it

Technology news site TG Daily, has reported an interview with a Sony Playstation division spokesman and has denied that the company will be making a PlayStation 3 announcement at CES 2006.
"Although we are participating in many CES activities with Sony," said the spokesperson, "we have no new announcements on PlayStation 3 planned at this time."
Sony still currently has events planned on the CES event schedule for the evening of January 4th and the morning of January 5th in Las Vegas.
EDIT: Even more crap coming out.
PLAYSTATION 3 GOES MULTI-REGION?
New Blu-Ray region-coding puts the US and Japan in the same basket, Europe picnics on its own
11:22 If you're a gaming connosieur, chances are you'll have bemoaned the games industry's policy of region locking titles many times over. Indeed, with most of the - let's say unique - offerings on consoles coming from the East, practically the only way to get a slice of that traditional Japanese bonkersness is to import or (illegally) chip your machine. However, stories fresh off the internet wire are suggesting we could be one step closer to our dream of a multi-region console. Sort of.
Currently, all consoles restrict gamers from playing titles released for regions other than the machine's home territory. However, reports from Japan show the first buds of hope for relaxed region-encoding restrictions in the form of the Playstation 3's new Blu-Ray format. Apparently, Japan and the rest of Asia will now be bracketed in the same region as North and South America, whilst leaving us poor Europeans as the regional outcasts along with Africa.
If there's any truth to these reports then at the very least those lucky Americans will be able to import bizarre Japanese anime movies (and filth) and play them on their Playstation 3 consoles without any internal tinkering whatsoever.
Whether this convenience will extend to actual game software remains a mystery, but we'd bet money that Sony isn't quite ready to swing open the regional flood gates just yet.
tha_conPS3 will not be region free, it's an economics factor, and part of their business model. It has nothing to do with anything other than that. If they open the doors, it potentially hurts the different markets that see staggered releases, i.e. when GT4 releases in JPN in Dec and the US in late feb, if everyone imported it, then it could siginificantly hamper the US sales, and retailers will be less inclined to purchase future versions etc. It's about business, and it won't happen. Especially not in the position sony is in.
live4speedBut the fight against mod chips isn't as important as keeping the shops ie the people that pass your products to the public happy. Importing games isn't so much the issue here either, at it's core the issue is profit, these companies can make vastly more profit, they can charge shops more to stock them, if the public has open access to these game earlier the shops won't want to offer as much for them 4 or 5 months later regardless of if people have imported or not.
a6m5Don't certain market get break on prices when it comes to games? I bet the Chinese market ones will be super cheap. I believe U.S. marketed games are cheaper, compared to Japan and Europe. I'm not sure about Australia, but I always hear the Australian members moaning about how expensive the consoles are, so it might be the same way with the games.![]()
VIPERGTSR01We pay roughly double the US recomended retail for games.
We pay $39.99 to $49.99 for new game titles. $19.99 for games that sold more than half a million games, and it's been at least 10 months.VIPERGTSR01We pay roughly double the US recomended retail for games.

In U.K. or Japan, I know that people have higher income, so they are probably charging accordingly. But does that mean most Australians are filthy rich?(If that's the case, I'd like to visit Jay or James' homeicemanshooter23Is there a reason for such high prices?

Personally, I'd very very happy, if next generation of games are region-free. I do like Japanese games like Dragon Quests, so if I'm going to be able to play the new Dragon Quest IX on my American PS3, I would do a happy dance. The real question is, will it play the region coded PS1 and PS2 games? If PS3 did that, I'm buying it at launch!![]()
I don't understand how your country can charge so much tax on "out of country purchases" when the item being purchased is not even made in your country! Talk about getting screwed... and Sony charging so much for games in Rooland, I can't believe they sell anything at all after pulling a stunt like that on you people.FatAssBRHere in Brazil we get games at around... Oh, wait. We don't get games here (beside some PC games), we have to import them! So that would be the price of a new game in US + shipping + 60% of importing tax over the price of the game and shipping. Not very cheap.
