do u acctually need to buy that ps2 adaptor to use the ps2 online or can u directly connect it to a router and use it online like that?

both..or did i read the question wrong?

you read the question right, it's just an uneducated question.

you need the PS2 Network Adaptor to 'network' the PS2. Whether you use a router or not is your choice, but most run into difficulties when they try. I was using a hub, and then I had it hooked straight into the cable modem, and now I use nothing, because I haven't played PS2 in ages.

er that last part may not make a whole lotta sense. i meant the first time i played ps2 online i had the hub hooked up to the cable modem, and then the computers and ps2 hooked into the hub. another setup was just having the ps2 hooked into the cable modem and then i used the usb port on my cable modem to hook up a computer and then i used internet connection sharing to hook up the two computers to the internet. now i do not play ps2 online.

i still dont understand really coz i dont wanna fork out £30 i think it is for a ps2 adaptor, coz its a waste of money but thinkin about it, u might need one coz i dont think theres any options on the ps2 to go online but i think the adaptor adds that to it but im not sure coz i dont have a ps2 or adaptor but im gonna buy one soon coz i dont like my ps1 ne more i wnt to go and play new games, same as my pc its shite and i can only play like games from 5 years ago coz ne others dont work on my pc

The ps2 has no rj49 port (i think thats it... been a while since networking class). The Network Adaptor basically adds that port to the system. It also adds the connections for a hard drive.

close, RJ45, and that just bad forward planning on sony's part really.

Forget all this crap and get an XBOX... its easier, and you can use gamespy to play lots of games, and theres another thing to with lots more games, i cant remember what its called tho.

i think ull find its a Playstation 1/2 combined they both have loads of games, i reckon if u put all of xboxs,gc,gba,dreamcast and the other new consoles they stil wouldent beat the amount sony have produced for PS1/2

quality not quantity! the n64 was worth buying jsut for conkers bad fur day and zeldacarina of time...

yes so true i happen 2 think that the gamecube is the best console but others dont becouse there always going with the more popular machines but conkers bad fur day was a pure bread classic but there wont b 1 4 the gc becouse rare have *gasp* gone well been brought

ok thread back on routers does ne1 kno how much a ps2 online adaptor costs and where i can get on frm?

this is the one thing i don't like about ps2 is all the crap games. however it has most of the best games, though, so it's just preference.

yeah.

ps2 = good for racers
gc = rpg and puzzles
xbox = action and online
dreamcast = nothing

GAMECUBE THE BEST! LOL ROFL! It's the worst system i've ever played besides the mario games (which are just pretty much all remade old ones) Other than that they're all 3-10 age games.
