"SOCOM II Registration Failure ?"

So, having finally got the time I decide it's time to play SOCOM II Online.

I have set up my network adaptor ages ago, and it connects to Central Station everytime, I've had my confirmation thing in the post and confirmed my account. Twisted Metal Black has been played for about 20 mins one or two months ago.

An hour of trying to find an unclaimed username goes by. Finally I find one and get the magic "do you want to register this name?" type dialogue on SOCOM II. Of course I do, so I select Yes, it goes to a screen on about connecting to something or other, and quickly the status goes to;

State: Registration Failure

And I'm chucked back to the create persona screen.

Ideas anyone? I'm searching the net also but I don't see what the problem is, apart from Sony's Online effort being like Frankenstein's Monster...a patchwork that barely works.

"error: this account is blocked, try again later"

Agh stupid piece of Sony s*&t f^&*ing retard system!

Well Ghost Recon Jungle Storm came this morning...B****y excellent and a fraction of the price as well (12.50 new off eBay UK). Online looks promising as well as all the idiots are on SOCOM II...

Well, im getting an XBOX tommorow after selling my PS2.
I get 2 months free subscription for Live so i'll use that 2 months up and if i still want to play online i'll pay £40.
After playing SOCOM 2 non-stop im starting to get sick of Online play for the following reasons:

I dont have the time to forget homework because my Clan leader beggs me to play a clan match

Im starting to think to myself "What is the point of Online Play, yeah its fun but you dont get great storylines, instead you just get the same thing over and over again". So i've decided that im probably just gonna keep my Ethernet cable and just Pay a fiver-per month so that i only pay when i actually wanna play.

I guess, but I'd assume that, as the network adaptor is little more than a black plastic cased NI card, that there'd be an awful lot of profit to funnel some back into the service.

I know I moaned about Live once, but I take that all back, it's worth paying £40 a year for.

Well you have to pay for live so I guess its a case of you would expect that to be better because you pay extra for it.

Well I've bought Ghost Recon Jungle Storm for the single player anyway, always loved Ghost Recon games. SOCOM 2....the more I play it the more I can't help thinking that it should have been released as an expansion disc rather than a full on new game. Glad I got the headset version because the new headset is nice and more comfy.

Nope. Considered it, but I tried PS2 online for about an hour and thought something along the lines of "[editted....] not as good as Live."

Hmmm. I see the moron ratio is higher than on Live as well.

Can't see me bothering with this much online and if it represents the best Sony can do then....

Hopefully Ghost Recon Jungle Storm will be better. Anyone got that?

I've said that before.

Anyway you should really have stuck to Ghost Recon and RS3.

Ah right...

Christ, Xbox Live was so easy to use and this is like, well, primitive.
