It's been a long time coming but the Network Adaptor is almost here to take PlayStation 2 gaming to a whole new level. Before the PS2-owning population of Europe can get in on the act with our American and Japanese cousins and join the online revolution, however, we'll be needing the help of British gamers to ensure that everything runs perfectly - and that could include you.
You may have already registered your interest in becoming part of the network gaming trials, but this is the real deal - sign up now, and there's every chance that you could be one of the first people to play PS2 network games such as SOCOM: US Navy SEALs, Twisted Metal Black Online and Hardware: Online Arena. Interested? Of course you are, but there are a few factors you must take into consideration before you all go scurrying off to register.
First, and most importantly of all, you must have a broadband internet connection at home. No broadband, no trial place - it's as simple as that. Secondly, there are only a limited number of places available, although this doesn't mean that we're operating on a 'first come, first served' basis. Trial members will be chosen according to their suitability, something that will be determined once you have filled in the questionnaire at registration. There are no right or wrong answers - we just want to ensure that a large enough spread of user types take part in the trial, so be completely honest. The other requirements are rather self-explanatory, and are as follows:
- You must currently live in England, Scotland or Wales
- You must have access to a PlayStation 2 and memory card
- You must be over 18
- You must have a valid credit/debit card
The latter proviso is there to ensure that you can purchase an online network gaming trial pack from our secure online shop, consisting of the Network Adaptor, Network Access Disc, a copy of SOCOM: US Navy SEALs (online play only) and a USB headset for live communication. The final price has yet to be confirmed, but it's expect to come in at a very reasonable £40.
Still here? Then you must be eligible to sign up. If you've yet to register on PlayStation.com, head back to the homepage, click on the Register button at the top-right of the screen and tick the 'PlayStation 2 network gaming beta programme' box (you should sign up for the Email Newsletter and Forums as well while you're at it). All those of you who already have a profile should click on My Profile once you're logged in and sign up from the Profile Summary page. Read everything very carefully and fill out your details and the questionnaire. You'll then receive an email to confirm that you have signed up, but be prepared for lengthy wait as you won't find out if you've been selected until late March at the earliest. Good luck, and we look forward to seeing you online...
Na super das kann bei uns in Germany noch lange dauern.
! schade wäre bestimmt cool jetzt schon in europa socom usw zu zocke!
Ausserdem wirds noch dieses Jahr klappen. Das mit der Kreditkarte kann ausserdem nicht stimmen denn laut Sony kauft man sich nen Online Starter Kit und los gehts. Nicht wie bei X-Box Live.
