Since my PC is capable of online games, I'm curious about what options PS2 might have. I did use the DC web browser a little, but it was slow, none of my games can be played online, and I don't have dialup anymore (so the modem won't work). Why I'm asking:

A- I'd like to play more than just first or third person shooters.
B- I can't afford Xbox Live.
C- There's nothing worth the effort on GCN. PSO would be way too expensive, having to buy the BB adapter (let alone finding a store that actually sells one), a router or hub for the connection, and the monthly fee.

My current setup is 1 Windows PC connected to DSL via Ethernet, with no router/hub or hardware firewall. I'll need to know what games are good and exactly how to get the Internet into a PS2's network adapter (I haven't bought it yet). Be clear, I'm a n00b when it comes to this.

I cant tell you how you can hook it up, mainly because I have cable, and it was really easy, im not sure if its the same for dsl, but I can tell you that not all games are 1st and 3rd person shooters, I got a good adventure type online game, "Champions of Norrath" its pretty cool, you and 3 other people from anywhere can go on a cooperative quest, thats the same as single player offline, but with 4 people, and there are plenty of sprts games online now, like golf, football, etc, and there are more coming out all the time.....

There is an ever growing library of online PS2 games, and it's going to get real good, real soon.

For one, there are a multitude of sports games online, I personally like Resident Evil: Outbreak every now and then, and Mortal Kombat Deception comes out next month.

My Advice: Get a network adapter. NOW.

Here's a list of some online PS2 games. I just glanced at it and I'm not sure if it's complete. But you get some idea.

Even though I like the X-Box's online plan more, the PS2 has some good things to it. Mostly the fact that a lot of games are free to play online. And that's always good right?

I have one question about PS2 online conserning one game: Final Fantasy 11. Does it work with dial-up?

I don't really want to spend $500 upgrading my computer if I can help it.

What I'm trying to find out is how to connect the adapter if I ever get one. A diagram would be nice.
