XBOX Live or PS2 Network?!?

[Orta]

I am thinking of getting 1... opinions would be greatly appreciated...

Being that there is no PS2 network practically...

You can play SOCOM, Frequency and Amplitude, that ATV game, Everquest, and some sports. That's about it.

If you have a BB connection, Live is the way to go. Voice chat and the friends list make a WORLD of difference and I just enjoy the games more. There's more of a sense of community on Live.

Make that 2 for XBL. I have both and I hardly play my PS2 online. There's something about being able to talk smack to someone online that makes Live the way to go for me.

I have broadband.. but I don't have an ethernet cable port, so I use USB. Is that ok?!?

No.

[Orta]

so what do I have to do?!? I have an ethernet cable... do I hook it up to my modem/Xbx?!?

Does your modem have an RJ 45 plug(looks like a phone plug but it's wider) on it too? If so, you can hook it right into your PS2/XBOX. If not, you're going to have to use ICS which runs the modem into your PC and you hook your PS2/XBOX into your PC.

Do you have a router?

I have my modem connected to a router via a category 5 cable and my PC, Xbox, and PS2 connected as well.

Works fine for me.

Yeah.

I don't have a router... not that I know of anyway.

Thanks for all the suggestions/help.

I think if you use the USB connection for your PC(I'm assuming that's what you use it for) and the RJ45 cable to connect your system you'll be fine.
