When I logged onto SOCOM II just now it had on the news page something to do with pins.

It said something like : "Sometime in October all users who haven't registered their PIN (That should get sent to you by post when you register on CS) will be banned from ALL online games until they enter their PIN".

Thats unfair because I registered to Central Station on the 14th August and I haven't received any letter from Sony. So if they haven't sent me the PIN what do I do? I'm not gonna get banned from SWB, SOCOM II and all of the other online games just because Sony haven't sent me a PIN.

Sod this, now I knwo why PS2 Online is so much cheaper than Xbox Live...

I got mine a month after registering which is the time they told me. Phone sony up and just explain to them and they probably send you another pin

Oh so this little thing called a Network Card just appeared without me doing anything then, did it?

Might only be £16 but i'd rather pay £30 a year (30 a year is very reasonable IMO) to get a MUCH better service and much better online games.


AND, unlike the PS2, the Xbox has a Hardrive meaning we can download new maps, tracks, characters etc for our online games for free.

You can get a Hardrive for the PS2 but :

1) It isn't out in Europe.

2) It costs about $99.

3) It'll probably suck and not much games support the Hardrive ie. Dont allow people to download more things for their games.

Ghost Recon 2, Halo 2, Goldeneye: Rogue Agent (might be good but you know the best version'll be Xbox), TS2, Splinter Cell 3.

You'll forget about SOCOM 2 soon enough. ;)

Exactly, I cant think of ONE decent PS2 game that Xbox owners would be jealous over.

SOCOM II is great fun, but doesn't come close to Black Arrow...or even RS3.

Ghost Recon: Island Thunder's pretty good fun too. :)

EDIT: and I can quite easily see an Xbox + Halo 2 + Live lasting someone 6 months with just those 3. Halo 2's going to be AWESOME. I just heard from Creepy that there'll be a defuse the bomb mode in it like Counter-Strike - it just gets better and better!

Never played it, but i've heard a few decent things said about it.

But then, you can get it on the Xbox, cant you?
