"Anyone getting Phantasy Star Online tommorow?"

Just wondering if anyone's getting and planning to use a 56k modem to play?

If you is let me know how it runs.

Apparently a certain other site has recieved shipment of the BB and modem adaptors so I'm guessing it'll be all up and running by tommorow.

Cheers for that too ^^

I didn't think of that i guess, My head has been spinning with all this lately :)

cheers for that evil dark. but i still think that there are several different types of phone connection. for example. my internet phone tap can also be used as a phone but only because we had the installers enable it for phone purposes. i thought that our 15 quid a month btopenworld package would include the phone bill but it dosnt and normal rates apply. I think this might be the case if you were to connect a GC to a PC enabled internet phone tap.
But I thin what your saying about both sharing the same hours is pretty much true but you might have to get this enabled before you can use btopenworld for them both.

Or in short. I think your ISP counts on the Gamecube Online gaming Also the PC.

ok, I'm with Btopenworld moden *Sigh* Still in the 56k era. Anyway, I think it goes like this.

You choose your ISP, in this case i'm with BTopenworld for £15.99 i think, And on PSO you will pay £6 a month. My Btopenworld uses 150 hours per month. So whatever your ISP Deal is what you still have to pay for your Online gaming with the Cube also the PC. So say if i spent 10 hours on the PC, It would count the same as on the Cube. Leaving 140 hours left on either of the PC or Cube...

I think it go by that, Depending on your ISP is how much you will pay, If your ISP charges you call Charges (Which most ours don't) Then you will not need to pay that... Just the £6.

Anyone please correct me before i go running to buy the 56 modem ^^

I wouldn't know anything about boardband charges, I've been looking round about the Modem. Nintendo haven't help everymuch with this Modem and Boardband things...

Im sure it will cost a little bit more to use it online. Can u get bt openworld for online gaming? that way u cud go on it all the time without having to worry about bills amounting.

I'm Confused with that question..

You needs a phone line, Which comes with the Boardband or Modem thingy anyway...

Net connection? I was puzzled by this one :( I'll link ya to a Nintendo Internet gaming guide with all the questions answered simple.

Hope that helps.

Do you just need a phone line or do you need a net connection as well?

I've got it - am at roughly level 10 (as I've said in another topic, Sonic Mega Collection is in charge of my GameCube at the moment).

I haven't had the time or money to go online with the 'Cube yet and am currently enjoying single player offline.

Maybe in a few months time I'll consider going online, but not before.

Eh, Ok. You pay the £6 Monthly bills, But thats your Problem i guess.

And the Phone Plug, My one is Downstairs. So i went and got for less then £5 a Phone Extension Cable so it would reach all the way down stairs ^^ I also taped it all around the walls so it wasn't Visable unless you looked up, So when i got to the phone i just had to switch the Plugs.

Smart eh?

Not really. It seemed a bit stupid too think you had too buy a Wall Phone Plug just for the Online play. I really wouldn't go that far...

thing is though its gonna be so hard getting a phone link put in to my room just so i can play my GC online. who here has there tele with GC right next to a phone tap? I certainly dont! itll cost about 100 quid to get one installed in my room and about 30 quid a month to pay the bills...
