Question about online PS 2 games

**GK Punk** · 10-01-2006, 05:08 AM

I have the old style PS 2 that doesn't have the broadband adapter built in. I'm considering getting Phantasy Star Universe but can't seem to find the Online adapter. Did they just stop producing it? And Xbox 360 is just too far out of my price range right now and I'd rather play the game on a console than a PC. Thanks if anyone can (Or wants) to help.

Good luck on finding it, man. I'm pretty sure they halted production soon after the release of the last SOCOM game. With PSU coming out though, I'm sure you'll be able to find them somewhere. I've spotted a couple at places like Wal-Mart and Toys R' Us in the section with the controllers and what-not. You can try there. If worse comes to worse, Ebay is an obvious option.

Can't you just use a USB Ethernet modem? When Tony Hawk's 3 came out there wasn't even an official adaptor so I'm pretty sure you could use with a USB modem, you just need a game that'll let you make a configuration profile (I used MOH Rising Sun to make mine cause my sister lost the configuration disc that came with her slimline PS2).

Yeah, that's what I kind of figured. I'll hit those places and look, then go crawling to ebay. If nothing I'll pick it up to play the offline RPG and pick up an Xbox 360 in the next year probably.

Thanks, Peanut.

From what I was reading, no. There is no setup options is PSU. It just asks you for your hunter's guild name and pass I guess.

So I got the Broadband adapter today at TRU. Yeah, shocked me too. I hit every video game store looking for one used, stumbled in to TRU to look for Transformers and look what I get.

Anyways, if anyone has Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 and wants to kick my ass let me know. I think it's the only online game I have untill PSU comes out.

Aw damn, that would have been awesome. If you manage to get it to work, hit me up and let me know I'd love to play you. And yeah, if they work together it's definetley a go!

*Spitfire* · 10-11-2006, 01:14 AM

Had I seen this last week I'd gladly hand it over. Cause I never use the damn thing haha

**GK Punk** · 10-11-2006, 03:38 AM

Actually, how much do you want for it? I have a friend that might want to buy it come to think of it.

*R-iZZy* · 10-11-2006, 06:49 PM

I just had to get one off eBay for 40 bucks. ugh...

I remember Wal-Mart having this thing about a month ago for like 28 bucks. What happened to that? Wal-Mart and many other stores don't even have PS2 Network Adapters in-stock. Is this because of the slimline?

**GK Punk** · 10-12-2006, 11:10 PM

So uh, does any USB Keyboard work with the PS2? That's pretty much all I need for Phantasy Star now.

愛 · 10-12-2006, 11:12 PM

Yes, any USB keyboard will work.

**GK Punk** · 10-12-2006, 11:16 PM

Excellent, thank you.

The Clerk · 10-13-2006, 10:38 PM

Well... I just DLed the demo for 360 and Kittie... you're going to love this game.

Word.

Peanut · 10-13-2006, 10:52 PM

Are you going to get it, Clerk? If anyone else is going to get it, I will too. It should be a ton of fun.

The Clerk · 10-13-2006, 11:05 PM

I might... I think it's 10/month. I don't know what to do it for, though... I know the 360 servers are alone but the CPU/PS2 servers are combined... so yeah, I uno.. lol

**GK Punk** · 10-13-2006, 11:31 PM

Pc/ps2 Ftw!

Peanut · 10-13-2006, 11:37 PM

Is this like FFXI where they PC/PS2/X360 share the same servers? If so, we can all play together!

The Clerk · 10-13-2006, 11:39 PM

Kittie told me only the PC/PS2 servers are linked.
