A Few Online Gaming Questions...
1. Does anyone know how I can test my XBOX live connection to see if it's ok speed wise? I had always assumed I had a kick connection because I have cable internet but "Crimson Skies" is making me wonder.
2. How much longer should I hold out on getting PSX2's network add on unit? Does anyone know a site where I can get some reviews specifically on PSX2's network and the games?

Giantrobo, are you asking about the PS2's Network Adaptor? It works great and is an incredibly easy install. The enitre online system is publisher-based, no central like Live so there can be a lot of difference from game to game. Still it's the only way to play EA games online and overall it works pretty well. And of course, once you buy the NA, there's no subscription fee, which is nice.
Obviously, the biggest Online game now is the two SOCOM games. They have a huge number of players every night and the server works pretty well. Gran Tourismo 4 will be out next year and will be a huge online game as well. Since you already have the set-up for the Xbox, I think it's worth the $40 absolutely.

Just goto some of the test sites and test your speed.
toast.net or dslreports.com
speeds should be about the same thru Xbox

Is that true?

There's a fairly complete list of games and other useful information here.
