Did anyone get a modem/broadband adaptor for their Gc on Friday?
I was tempted to get PSO but Game dint have any Modems or braodband thingy's - mind you when do they ever go out of their way to support the Gamecube, they havent had officail GBA cables in for months now.

I have a few questions about the modems andd broadband connectors, as I'm too lazy to check SR's database:
1. The modem will supposedly cost about £30, what about the broadband adapators?
2. Are there any monthly fees?
3. If so, how much?

$lik, I have to agree with your views on Game (and EB, who are one and the same company). I can't remember the last time when I walked in there, asked a question, and didn't know more than the lameoid who answered it!! They are just a bunch of incompetent losers.
Oh, and just because a company calls themselves "Game" and stocks game-related stuff, it doesn't make them a games specialist!! I don't think there are any national chains of stores who know anything about whatever they stock. It's the one-man-band games shops who know the most, because they have to in order to stay afloat, and for that reason I always buy from the smaller private stores in my area! Plus he is the cheapest!

Im really starting to see Game for the now seemingly useless company that they are, I went into Game today and asked them "any word on when you'll be stocking the modems?" (as i'd asked them several time before but to no avail) and the guy said "We won't be stocking them" I said "Why the heck not?" to which he replied "because we don;t se any point in stocking something that only works with one game and keeps crashing constantly" and i said "oh, so theres absolutely no chance that you'll be stocking the modem then?" and then he said "well if we were to it would be towards the end of the year when we know that the servers are running smoothly" and in disbelief i said "well in that case i'll be back when your service is'nt so overly Incompetant" and to that i walked out.
*note: - last quote of mine may have been exxagerated slightly but you get my point*
but ffs, there a games specialist or so they call themsleves anyway so surely they have to keep up with their customers demands even if it is those who want to play PSO online which is a currently growing market which is rising by the hour, I mean it's absolutely pathetic, they wont stock any modems for GC but theyre inundated with fekkin Xbox live starter kits at £40 a pop plus subscription fees, i mean talk about anything to make a fast buck! people will most prob buy the starter kit, find out that the service is overhyped and majorly overpriced and be p!ssed off that they shelled out a non-refundable £40, and yet Gamecube modems which are sure to sell and people will most prob be satisfied by them due to the reasonable price and seperate reasonable subscription fees are nowhere to be seen, it's total madness and Game seem either oblivious to this or just don't care and i think it's pathetic.
grr! could go on and on but i wont as i've got PSO to play OFFLINE and a modem to import off ebay...
