I've always been able to play a PS2 for the odd day here and there, when my brother actually bothered to bring it back from Uni, but now its down to £99 I'm seriously thinking about getting hold of one of my own. Thing is, the console has a huge range of titles, and I'm looking at it for precisely the opposite reasons. I have about 3 essential games for it on my list, Stuntman (can't get over how much I LOVE this) San Andreas, and then Killzone.
Whilst I can always borrow a few of my brothers games, I'm not sure there is much else. And when I also own an Xbox and 'Cube, I'm not going to be buying a hell of a lot of 3rd party titles. Also, I need to find out about the PS2 online offerings, because if its expensive there is no way I can get it.
So, a handful of questions:
1. Online...how much, how easy, how good?
2. Any other games I might want to go for? I'm talking the top notch exxentials here, ones not available on other platforms preferably. Also take in mind I'm not a huge RPG or Stratagy fan.
3. Anything else I should know?
Cheers you guys, I'm very behind on PS2 news, in case you didn't work that out, so all help however small, and just however general, is appreciated.

Have you got broadband already? If so Ethernet or ADSL? USB or Ethernet Modem?

Really it depends on the games you like but Eyetoy chat could be interesting.
