Hmmm... other than the hardware what do you need to play PS2 online? I guess it ties up the phoneline. Is there some kind of provider service you have to pay? <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>

NO. to Play SOCOM online, you hookinto your home network vie Ethernet and you can get on. It's setup like Tribes basically. FF XI is gonna be a pay based service, but a lot of the first/third party software will not be fee based.<br><br>The XBox, on the other hand, will have a monthly fee to play online, but not according to specific Games. Microsoft will be hosting all the Game servers, therefore, the $$$$ goes to them.<br><br>From reports that I've seen, the Network adapter for PS2 is gonna be $40, and SOCOM will be around $60 because of the bundled Headset/ Mic. <p><map name="SHMAP"><area href="http://xmenclan.org" target="_blank" shape="rect" coords="169, 72, 193, 143"><area href="http://dragontalonmercs.com" target="_blank" shape="rect" coords="0, 78, 25, 141"><area href="http://pub1.ezboard.com/uspinninghat.sh ... anguage=EN" target="_blank" shape="rect" coords="22, 3, 172, 30"></map><img border="0" src="http://www.xmenclan.org/sh3d2.gif" usemap="#SHMAP" width="194" height="144"> <br>Why Do I always Die?!?!</p><i></i>

Sweet. My friends were reading about it. We loved playing 2 player Rainbow Six on N64. We'll probably be all over this. <p>XMEN|FireFro[DTM] --- "I hate shocklances"<BR><BR>"Join me or die, can you do any less?"</p><i></i>

Sounds good. I know I'm gonna get it. BUT, from what I've read, SOCOM is going to be a broadband only game. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> and I don't know when my board is gonna be back up.
