Do you have your PS2 online?

[Danji Ikari]

This thread is a poll to keep a tally of people who have their PS2's online on this forum. I just got myself a network adapter and some games (for Xmas). Also, what is the first game that you played on your PS2 online? Mine was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 (on a friend's PS2).

*poll ends on New Year's Day*

[gaming ultima]

i would but i only got a 150K connection so i dont

[NaZ]

I want to get it and NBA live 2004 too. :P :P :P

[Ibanez32]

I reckon i'll get one when resident evil outbreak comes out.

[CloudANDTidus]

Don't have the money to buy a network card/new modem for my pc. Why couldn't bloody aol put an ethernet socket on the modem........

[Matt]

I haven't got one at the moment, and I don't know if I will get one or not, even if ADSL is made available around here.

There isn't really anything that I'd want to play on it at the moment.

[sonyplaystation3]

mine was thps3 then 4 now im getting T.H.U.G for xmas

[NaZ]

Alot of people say that the playstation live(network adapter) lagz. :(

[CloudANDTidus]

Well if your playing 20 people on the other side of the world you don't expect it to run like any 1 player game now do you? Even X-box live lagzs.....

[kev4]

Alot of people say that the playstation live(network adapter) lagz. :(

lags because damn dial-up users decide to go onto it, i heard sony are gonna do something about this though and i hope they do :). btw i voted *i want to* maybe i should of voted yes because im gettin ps2 online on wednesday 8)

[NaZ]

Im sorry for all the dialup users but i think dialup users shouldnt be able to play PS2 online. Its just that mess up the game for the ones that got fast connnection.

[kev4]

ya, and that what sony trying to sort out me thinks :P :twisted:

[JoshD]

I got a Network Adapter.

As for dial-up users, I believe there games (like SOCOM 2) which require a broadband connection coming out.

[ibrooklyn]

had it since day one, and its the greatest thing on a ps2 if you dont have one you should go pick it up now, its only 40 bucks and the fun ur gonna get from playing online is priceless

Yea, that's a bit extreme there dude. Just lay back on the berating, he just wanted something to call the PS2 online other than the "Network Adapter-abled PS2".

[NaZ]

I just call it playstation live. I know its not the real name of it but , just sounds good.

[NaZ]

Its still the same meaning so just chill it. Its not like everyone calls everything by its real name.

[Setzer]

Hey, i was wonderin if anybody knows how online communication is gonna work with MMORPGs using the ps2 network adapter. In other words how will ps2 users communicate to PC users?

Um, am I the only one who sees a smiley face there to show the sarcasm?

[solidus]

O, didn't want to say anything before but i saw it too. :wink:

Okay, why don't you say whats wrong with it instead of just sitting there smirking?
My aol modem does not have an ethernet socket on it. It is a bloody USB, this means it will not hook up to my PS2.

So far the only way I have worked out, from the net, to conect my PS2 is to put a network card in my PC to get it up and running.

If you know a better way I would love to hear it.

And what sort of pointless post is "I agree with you all the way GodZeRo"
Was it even worth typeing??????

Ok, since no one else wants to help this guy out, I will. I understand what you are saying, but helping this guy now will prevent future confusion.

1) You don't have to buy a new network card for your PC to use the network on your PS2. After the connection goes into your rooter, it comes out and goes to your PC. What you could do is take that connection out of your PC and connect that to the Broadband Adapter of the PS2. Usually, the cable coming out of the rooter is Cat-5 and then converted to USB (if you have it connected to your computer that way). That Cat-5 cable is the one that would go directly to the PS2. If it for some reason comes out of the rooter USB, then you can buy a converter to get it back to Cat-5.

2) AOL did not make your modem. The modem came with your computer when you purchased it. I assume you are talking about the rooter, which they didn't make either - they just supplied it to you.

[GodZeRo]

cloud and titus: Do you have a 56k analog modem, DSL modem, cable modem, or other?
If you have 56k, you're out of luck. 56k modems are slow nomatter what you do, how you connect, ect. That's the tradoff for low cost sevice.
If you have one of the others, a simple converter will work for you.

[CloudANDTidus]

I have a dsl modem which aol sent with broadband.

Thanks for the help. :D

[Matt]

AOL Broadband, oh you poor child! :)

Ah well, at least you've got ADSL.....

[NaZ]

I played Nba live 2004 and its gay. Not the game but the wussy people that play it. All they do for the whole game is go under the court and dunk.

[indiekid4]

I'm waiting till FF:XI comes out. Does anyone know when it's coming out in America?

[Danji Ikari]

March, it comes pre-installed on the PS2 HDD.

[KlawHammer]

I want a network adaptor but me gots no money at the moment and im not exactly gonna shell out NZ$90 for one either. Besides what "good" games are they to play on ps2online neway?

[CloudANDTidus]

Okay, the stupid prat in the funny hat (thats me) still needs help cus I'm a little confused.

As I said before I have a USB modem (DSL) Someone said earlyer that a converter will work. Has anyone tryed and tested this becuase I carn't find any where on the net that surgests this. Also, can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get a converter.

Thank you so much.

(Me twat. I know.)

[gaming ultima]

get a USB ethernet adapter
i havent got much money so my modem is set up for using USB and not ethernet so im just gonna get a usb ethernet adapter so then i can play xbox live
where do u live wot country? if u live in UK i might be able to tell u where to get 1

[gaming ultima]

oh right england woops i should of looked
umm try currys or pc world
funny enough im going out looking around all sorts of shops over the weekend to get 1
if i find a chain of shops that sells em il tell u

[Joel]

I know for a fact all you need is the USB to Ethernet converter cord, sorry I don't live in England so I couldn't tell ya where to go to get one, but I am almost 100% sure it works because I have a friend that has USB dsl and his works with the converter.

As for the PS2 Online, it really doesn't have much to it. The lag is almost always present except for in THUG, and the whole online portion has not really done overly well for the PS2. Xbox Live is by far a better service and although it costs the features are definatley there to back it up. Hopefully we see some improvements in the Online menu's for the PS2 games, which aren't all that great right now!

[Matt]

Maybe when BT finally decide to let us have ADSL in our area, I can finally kick you arse at something. :D

I'm sorry for being a dumb american, but "stupid prat in the funny hat" is not in my dictionary. Sounds like it ain't good though.
I haven't tested it, but my guess is that it will be a headache, so take some asprin first, then plug it in. I'm tring to put together my WiFi network right now, and I ripped out half my hair (working now, that's how I'm online)

EDIT: ps: I was just playing with ya, if I find info on converter, I will let u know.

[CloudANDTidus]

Thanks for the help. :D

[need for speed]

i would get one but i did not no if it was only for broadband internet conections.can anyone tell me please????????? :wink:

[GodZeRo]

Cloud and titus: some more info for you:
USB to ethernet converters can only go from USB on computer the ethernet, not other way around, so you have to install ethernet card on your computer and hookup with a crossover cable to the PS2, setting up software routing/gateway on computer (not sure how, I allways use hardware routers), but the computer has to be booted for the communications to work.

[Dreamcastmagic]

Wells its gotten off topic but people are getting helped so its cool. Ummm as for am I online Yes! Man love Need for Speed that game kicks some major ass and the graphics are the best of any racer I have player, and un-like GTA4 it has realistic blur when your going fast. Also have mic to go with Socom 2 that fun too. I can't wait for the FF:XI read up on it and its going the best online RPG to date I think even better then PSO, which makes me want to express my hatred to Sega for leaving PS2 out of PSO fun while Xbox and Gamecube get it. I think they were venting some anger about losing in the console wars. If that’s the case they weren't thinking of people like me, I'm a huge DC fan but with DC US PSO servers gone what the hell im going to do im not buying another system just to play it. But I might get a import version from UK for DC which Ver. 2 is free over there!... ok im shutting up now its Christmas! Anyone got anything good I did

[GodZeRo]

I have one, but it's broke; so I guess I don't have one :cry:

[Dreamcastmagic]

O man that sucks, how did it get broken?

[GodZeRo]

O man that sucks, how did it get broken?Let me just say, don't let anyone accidentally insert the phone line in the cat5 socket. Bad things happen when someone tries to call you.

PS: when your phone rings, it's because the phone co. put 90vac in the wire to activate the ringer... bad bad

[Gexv8]

If every single game I played online with ps2 has worked doesn't that gaurentee that Final fantasy 11 has to work on my ps2?

[CloudANDTidus]

If the other games work then yeah, FF11 will work. Just remember that, unlike other online PS2 games, FF11 needs the hard drive.

[mcq500]

internet has been the best ps2 feature ever. it has the abillity to play with people and it is a rival for the xbox!

[ultimategamer2004]

I havent got one yet but i think i willget one soon they sound good i would really like to race xbox people and win them on need for speed:underground.

[KlawHammer]

Same, but i dont have money for one. I mean they cost like $450 in NZ so i am broke until i get a job at Pizza Hut.

[Matt]

I should be getting a Network Adapter in a few weeks along with my ADSL connection. Which is also handy as SOCOM II is being released at the same time. :)

[*C-STARZ*PUSHA]

Of course I have online and is free which kick ass

[Brad]

I don't...just waiting for a game to make it worth my while. The cash flow is being utilized for other, more important, things...

[*C-STARZ*PUSHA]

Heres a couple,Monster hunter grand turismo 4 star wars battlefront killzone allot more but im to lazy to write so many

[kevindenoyette]

i have one, but i don't use it often.

[KlawHammer]

Dont think i'll be getting one for a few months, dont see the point.

[BigBoss1978]

DO you people have cable modems over there in the UK? Just wondering

[Matt]

Most people in this country have ADSL, or Broadband, whatever you want to call it.
