eskimo Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've used it a little bit and it seemed ok. I didn't get any lag when playing and found gamers straight off.Basically if you have a Slimline then all you need is a ethernet cable connected to your pc or router or whatever. Pc being the easiest to setup. If you have a fat older style PS2 then yeah you will need that hard drive network thinga majiga.Then you need to send off email/phone (can't remember) some details (no bank details or anything like that). Then you receive the disk setup wizard thing and a code to input a few days later.It is free and once setup which is easy enough then you are all go.Certain games like Phantasy Star you have to pay for online but there aren't many on the PS2 which you do get charged.Considering it's free and that i never had any problems it's worth trying it out to get rid of boredom or just for the crack.I'm guessing RB6 is a new game so there will be plenty of players online to play as well. Good luck. PM if you have any more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(second hand)And its Rainbow 6 Lockdown, im sure its prety new .Ohhhhh Lockdown, i know now. Yeah i would of thought there would a be a few players online. When i played it on Xbox it was quite fun i remember. (On live)Going by how old the network adapter box hd thing is i guess wi-fi is a nono. So an ethernet cable to your pc is the best bet. Still i would contact Playstation to be sure.Looking on PS website i found this. Might be of some help or just retracing what you already know.Also checking out on a quick search on ebay looks like £10+ for a network adapter. If your consol is on it's last legs it might not be worth it unless you get a game and ethernet cable as well.Anyhow up to you.Slim for the win. I want FF12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 10er is worth it, dose it have to go to my router or can it go to my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 10er is worth it, dose it have to go to my router or can it go to my laptop.Either i would of thought but both will require some sort of config. With the computer/ laptop it just needs to share a connection. No idea about the router? I don't really know too much.Off to bed now 4am wake up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
