Looking for a reasonably priced, cheap Network Adapter.
I don't want ebay auctions and the more known the game site the better, must ship to UK!
+18 rep for good finds.

I think that one's pretty good.

Bit expensive though.

Yeah bit expensive, could find it a bit cheaper which is what I'm looking for :)

I've never seen them in game and I can't find them on the site so I assumed they didn't have them or they are out of stock. comet I will check lol

Buy it from GAME or something because if you buy it 2nd hand there is a high chance it wont work because of some stuff with the adpater recognising the PS2 I donno, stops people with slim line from cheating out of it cause it's all ready installed but you need a disk to set it up

Errr question. Is the network adaptor only for the bulky ps2 and the slimline has it built in? Because my ps2 slimline has a port where the network cabe links it straight to the hub. If so, my ps2 internet was practically free. :P

I don't actually know mate. I have slimline so I hope that is the case tbh.
But I also heard that you can get other network adapters unofficial for the slimline but you can't for the bulky ps2 you need the official one.
If I find a ethernet cable around the house I'll give it a go.

Omg, don't buy a network adapter if you have a slimline! Try and connect it straight to the hub to the back of the slimline. Don't wanna waste your money on something you don't need.

hmm I didn't realise my dad brought the router downstairs and done it up with his computer and everything ;/ if it was upstairs
I could take out the cable and try it now.

Edit - I'm gonna spend the money on a Max Drive instead so I can transfer stuff from my PC to my PS2 :8

When you have a slim line the adaptor is all built in but when you buy it properly you get a CD you put in the playstation to set up the ethernet, you need the CD to set it up so you can save your network config onto your memory card, you can't do anything unless you have your own playstions network config saved to a memory card

No the CD sorta installs stuff onto your memory card but you have to enter your PS2 serial code and stuff to stop people sharing devices, the CD can't be used by multiple people either, very hard to get by it, only way is to buy the CD or a new adaptor and flog that on eBay or something, I got mine from PC world a while back for like £15-£20

No..PS2 online is almost free, you only need to pay for the games to play, the adaptor and the bills, xbox you have to pay a monthly or yearly fee to play it online
