And i'll probably want to take it online. The only trouble is, broadband adaptors are rare a Rocking Horse Shizim...

There was a rumour that they were going to make a new batch in time for PSO III, is this true?

Failing that, if i import a NTSC one from america, will that work?

Cheers!

Hey well, i can always sell it, and get back my money - or thereabouts. I paid 28 quid, I'll probably get that on ebay without much luck at all.

Yes, what he said.

The Network Adaptor costs £49.99 and how many games have you actually seen on the Cube that are online anyway. The service is probably pants and I doubt alot of people will be online anyway because of how rare it is.

They are indeed poor games. Shenmue was quickly reverted to.

Honestly the game won't be that good in offline Multiplayer. I doubt you'll find 3 friends bored or interested enough to play PSO with you. The only reason it was ever really good was that it was the first console MMORPG, and it wasn't really an MMORPG at all, it just had a wonderful community spirit to the game, until cheats and hackers messed it up HARD.

The actual process of playing the game was quite poor, akin to the LOTR games but without the atmosphere and with lasers instead of swords (lasers are never better than swords). "I told you a long time ago" that you should only get it for the Online, but would you listen, nooooooooo...

And if you're getting a Broadband adaptor, which they will reissue for PSOIII, but not in large quantities, then you'll have paid £60 or thereabouts for a 6 or 7 out of 10 game. You could have bought Hitman 2 and Conflict Desert Storm for that.

I would assume so, although I'm not 100% sure. But it seems unlikely that it wouldn't be multiregion.
