I'm trying to find out how to do this and have just looked at the back of my PS2 and as far as I can see it doesn't have a built in adaptor so I need an ethernet adaptor. Anyone know where to get one of these or know how to tell if mine already has one.

 

ps2? or the silmline one?

 

all i have on the back of my old shape ps2 is a digital out(optical) hole and a big plastic cover with expansion wrote on it, assume thats for a hard drive.

 

That's the same as the mine. I have a normal ps2, was the first one (pre ordered before they were released). Don't know if the date makes any difference.

 

You can get a network expansion card and disk for it, I got mine from Play



Dave.

 

How hard was it to set everything up? And am I right in thinking that I only pay for my broadband connection?

 

Yeah you need the modem & central station disk & you plug it in...

None of this xbox pay to play sh!t

 

yeah but x box is quality online playing sony online is fookin shite

 

What you need is the following item : http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...2&title=111516

Basically, you write down the serial number and product number of the ps2 (i think), then screw the adaptor to the back of the ps2. Then either plug your cable modem's ethernet cable into it, or use a router and connect it to that. Then register with Central Station, and away you go

 

Thanks mate, will get myself one of these just as soon as I've figured out how to buy it, I can see it but can't see an option of buying it or is that cause it's sold out?

 

I don't pay for my xbox gaming on line

 

I just sent an e-mail to sony cause they play website lists it as out of stock and sony replied saying they have them in stock for a pound less.
