Default modem release... time... and price...

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...865253,00.html

Fall... and for 34.99 or 95 or whatever it doesn't matter...

I wonder if they will make bigger announcements at E3 now... hmmm...

"Nintendo stated that save for Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, there will be no online projects shown or discussed at E3 for the GameCube. "

.... neeevermind

Sweet news. But now my hopes of seeing online versions of : PD, Mario Kart and Donky Kong Racing at E3 have been shatered.

As much as I like the news, even though it was expected a week ago with the announcement. It would be cooler for them to have announced it E3, as well as feature some games. I guess they have a bigger announcement.

Well IGN says that there will be announcements and discussions at E3 pretaining to Nintendo's online plans....so which one is right?? We'll find out soon enough.

*awaits E3 for the unveiling of Pokémon Online*

...

*decides it doesn't matter whether it's online or not, as long as some Pokémon appears at E3, he's a satisfied customer*

Well, PS2's first online game is already out... Tony Hawk 3 it's kinda like NGC's PSO... PSO will be like the first and only online game out at the time the modem things are released, and it will probably stay that way for awhile... The only difference is PSO is like all online and Sony didn't release their official modem, you have to use a normal USB one

But the full PS2 online stuff should be out I think around fall this year... with more than just 1 game... I think

I'm pretty sure Sony started up their broadband service stuff in Japan like yesterday or the day before or... sometime not too long ago or something
