The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
The challenge is to write an interesting piece about online gaming as:
XBOX Live Experience - Pro's and Cons
or
PS2 Networking Experience - Pro's and Cons
or
PS2 Networking vs XBOX Live - Comparison
The winner will be the best entry (in the opinion of the judges) submitted before midnight on Sunday November 14th.
Your entry will be judged on the basis of concise, readable, well written information. i.e. it must be written like a review. Try to include your experiences from initial interest and sign up through to full use.
All entries, whether they are the winner or not, may be used elsewhere on our site. The best entries will probably appear on a subsection of the UKconsoles site.
DO NOT COPY ANY WORK. These must be original.
I recommend that you save your work into a word processing document before entering it in case you want to work on it later.
Good Luck Chaps and Chapesses
> I'm a generally sad person, you see.
And you missed the deadline ahahahaha.
But I don't work at SR, and didn't enter anyway, therefore I don't really care
Crumble's entry is the winner!
Not a whole load of entries, though I think Crumble's would have been hard to beat even if there were a lot more. Very deserving of an EGAD.
Thanks to everyone who entered, we'll decide what to do with the entries over the next few days.
Before you can do anything you must have access to BT
> Broadband. PS2 Network Play will not work with Dial-up connection or
> any other Broadband supplier; only BT.
Eh? PS2 Online will work with any broadband provider, not just BT.
Congrats on the win though.
Oh.My.God......
Well, at least he wrote something unlike moi :P
Clearly Xbox Live and PS2 Networking will work with Freeola Broadband, which is provided across the BT network. But what makes you think it will not work on non BT providers such as the cable networks?
Congratulations on the your winning entry, which I am just about to read if my phone stops ringing for long enough *_*
Look out for a condensed version in the next mag.
As long as it sounds good, you can write/speak as much balls as you want. Look at the last Presidential Election campaigns.
A most deserving win.
You would think that after buying the Xbox Live Pack, which includes a full year's subscription, that they would not insist on you entering credit card details online.
I can tell you, it goes against the grain to enter credit card details into a console, and it also does not sit too well with me to give them to Microsoft.
I phoned up Microsoft and told them that I did not want to give my card details online and they said "tough". So I asked them if I could have my money back and they said "not if you have revealed the secret user code". Of course you have to enter this before you are told anything about needing to enter credit card details. So I told them I had looked all over everything and they said "there is some very small print about it on the front of the box - so, tough - hee hee gloat".
