I went back out, and bought a laser cleaner for the ps2, i go back home, and it won't read that either. So then, i go back out again, and i buy this complete package of shit specifically for consoles, but while i'm out, the sales guy at circuit city was like, well if it won't read the online disc or the cleaner disc, it's basically a sign that in a couple months the ps2 is gonna die. So i go home not only with that console cleaner thing, but with a brand new, slimmer ps2. This ps2 reads the online disc but it says because my computer is part of a home network, i have to go back out and buy a wireless network bridge to hook up to the ps2, because i can't just take a line directly from the ps2 to my computer. That pissed me off, because while i was at the store earlier, the sales guy had told me that for the slimmer ps2 i would need one, and he showed me some, the cheapest was like a 100 bucks, but i thought he was just trying to sell things. After i discovered that i'm gonna need the wireless bridge thing, i was just like **** it, i'll just wait until the ps3 comes out. I dunno if that's similar to what you have to do for the xbox, but if it is, then i can just wait.
I am almost 100% sure u can link an ether net cable from your new ps2 to your modem, u just can't use the internet on any computers at the same time. and for the x-box u can either run a cable to your modem like above or get a wireless adapter ($100 new/$50-70 used) and pay for however long you want your subscription to last. I kept holding out to play online but ever since I joined x-box live I've become absolutely addicted to it and can't wait to try a couple new games out on it. For me I won't be getting a PS3 til I see a game I absolutely have to have like a God of War 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, FF 13, or something that compells me to buy it cuz I can't justify buying 2 $400+ systems within a year of each other when they r gonna be pretty much the same systems just each with a couple of exclusive games that r gonna range between 50 to 70 bucks.
