Has anyone used the wireless access to the PS2? I have a 802.11b wireless network and want to get online wiht my PS2.

My phone line is across the room, so i cant hook in that way... Has anyone used one of those adapters? I think theres a Linksys one?

And is it really worth it to go online?

I'm pretty sure you would need a wirless bridge for your PS2, and they're kind of pricey.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to hook up the wireless router directly to the PS2 and then use a wireless card for your laptop/PC to connect to the internet? The wireless bridge is way more expensive than a wireless card for a PC. Plus if you use a cable modem you probably have a cable jack close to you TV/PS2 to connect cable modem and router into.

Just a thought because I'm thinking of doing this.

the problem is, my phone line is nowhere near my TV setup, so it would involve running a line across the room, which is not an option...

So you share a dial up connection?

no i have dsl and a wireless router, but there is no phone line on the side of the room where the TV is... which is why im looking at the wireless adapter for PS2...

also, is it really worth it to get online?

I think so. While the Sony Online community isn't as orderly as the Live one, it is free. SOCOM is a huge online game with literally thousands of people playing at any given time. Many of the premiere upcoming Sony titles will have online capability. I think you'll see more and more games where online will be the main mode of play. There's no denying : Online play is the future of gaming. You'd have to be an idiot (or a Nintendo executive) to think otherwise.
