How much does it cost to go online with the PS2.

I mean this in a cost per month sense, not all the hardware rubbish.

you see, I, Tribute, Ninty fanboy supreme, am getting a PS2 tomorrow (or not soon after), and am thinking of getting US Navy Seals and a hardrive with it.

So can you inform me on how much it'd cost to play US Navy Seals online?

Ta.

I'm not a HUGE FPS fan, but I do enjoy the odd spot of mass murder. Socom just sounds fun, and without monthly fees, I'd be in heaven.

Of course, that and the fact I would be able to whip crazy col's ass.

But i looked at XBOX games the other night, and realised that there were about 3 that i wanted.

Fishing live Online?

Hah.

Admittedly whipping Crazy Col would be fun, but be warned, SOCOM isn't a "fun" game. It is really tactical. I'm not the worlds best gamer, but I'm above average. And I found the first few times on SOCOM horrible. Was blasted away instantly it seemed.

Not fancy Jet Set Radio or Project Gotham Racing? Not even Star Wars KOTOR?

Another thing, Pro Evo is meant to be coming to the Xbox. There's a topic about it in the Xbox forum.

KOTOR was the main reason i thought of getting an XBOX, but, alas, the other games on the sytem let it down.

As for the other 2 you mentioned, Jet set Radio gave me a headache when I played it on my step brothers XBOX last Christmas, and generally annoyed me, and the only racing game I have ever truly loved has been Mario Kart (Maybe F-Zero), although there was 1 track on Gran Turismo 1 which I loved.

As for SOCOM, I plan to play it offline for a bit first.

There was a copy in GAME last week, unboxed, no headset, for £8 - if I got the head set for a tenner, I'd be in heaven.

But that still leaves the £20 broadband adaptor.

Hmm.

Well good luck in finding the headset as cheap as that.

I also feel compelled to finally mention Halo. Best shooter since Goldeneye.

Didn't realise that. Makes it all a bit more attractive then.
