1. OHMYGOD its the best invention ever!!!!!
or.......
2.Its a waste of time and money and it isnt that good anyway.
I for one agree with statement 1 as it opens up a whole new world of gaming that no PS2 user has gone before. There is now a whole new(ish) online community out there with forums,chatrooms,tournaments and best of all.......gaming.
Statement 2 still has a point though. It is a tad expensive and you cant get it if you dont have broadband.
Even though it is a bit pricey, it is well worth it.
It is only you that can decide, I cant make you.

pricey? £20 for a network adaptor plus your broadband which you'd probably have anyway.

Well BT are upgrading all of their BB customers to 2 MB Broadband and are only doing 2 MB broadband now. But I heard that theres a download limit so you can only download so much per month but I dont download lots of things so i'm okay.
oh and 256k wont be good enough as you'll have very bad lagg and everyone online will start moaning at you for having such a low connection.

Looks like a pretty good deal...

Understatement of the millenium.
Xbox Live may be £40 a year but my god does it work.
Can't believe just how poor the PS2 is online. Anyone who, like me, tried to get Fifa 2004 working online will know just how unbelievably painful (and pi$$ poor) the PS2 is online.
Which is ironic really cause it looks like the PSP is going to fab online!
> Go with AOL and get a 512k for only 17.99 a month
You should be skinned alive for recommending that ISP.
