The cheapest one I could find was 30. It made me angry that I couldnt get a cheaper one, because I know that much cheaper ones exist. but oh well.

It turns out that my stupid theatre is holding Shrek 2 over tomorrow. I wont be able to see HP3 until next weekend. *curses*

I have a whole week to decide if I want to keep my Network Adapter or not.

IMO a few games worth playing online are ATV offroad fury 2 ( its not great, it gets boring after a while), NHL 2004 , so you can kick the crap out of people you dont know, and finally Fight Night 2004, freakingly awesome game to play online.

NHL 04 sucks online. you cant find anyone who plays at decent settings, they all turn speed up full blast and its lame.

ESPN Hockey is better. servers arent as good as EA's but the people playing play on better settings.

Hey Null, do you think Grand Tourismo 4 and Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal will run good on dial up?

Also, are there any good online shooters currently out for the PS2, or coming out soon?

i dont play console shooters, hate em. lack of control.


Its hard to say how the others will run online. i've never played a console online game with dialup.

GT4 might be able to run on dialup if it was just a 1 on 1 dual. Outside of that might be overkill for it.

If you know ANYONE with a high speed connection, tell them you NEED to mooch it for a few hours, since I've seen Square's horrible program that downloads the updates..why they need to unzip it right after downloading that file is beyond me.

because its connecting to a server and not each person. it shouldnt matter whether its all 6 or 1on1.

the server would still send the same amount of info to the dialup user for them to download. However if its syncing and connecting to each player to player it would be differnt.

only online game i've ever played on dialup was Quake 1 for PC back in the day. the only differnce really was that some things didnt count that you thought shoulda. because your connection is slower. so if it looked like i shot someone on my screen, in reality it might not of actually hit them. Didnt make a diff how many people were playing. 1 or 12

but consoles may work differntly and i've never played a console game on dialup.

I forgot to say an awesome online game is Socom Navy seals 2.. its decently supreme.
