Looking forward to playing online?? not if you have AOL, yes neither xbox live or the gamecube modem adapters are compatible with the worlds no1 (apparently) ISP. AOL do not let other software access their internet connections, and so if you have AOL you cant use it to go online.
also the guy i spoke to at the tech centre informed me, off the record, that they wont allow it because the size of AOL, means that the ping rate is really high and so gaming would be too slow, becuae of this even if you have broadband they wont let the console modems connect to their service.
so do i get rid of AOL, which i think is great for regular internet stuff, just so i can play online????

That explains why I had pings of 15,000 on Unreal Touurnament :)
Ah well, I have excellent broadband now, so I'm not worried. And yes, online gaming does indeed rule :D

This is just typical of what we have come to expect. A great new service, more options, faster, better, more fun, but not if you have AOL. But this is a serious point. I would expect AOL will do some thing about this at a later date, but for now - anyone thinking of going online with a console - stay clear of AOL.
Online gaming is so overrated.

So is it confirmed that we can hook our broadband modems up to our PS2 for internet play?
