    I don't think there's a 'direct' wireless solution. However, I think if you bought the adapter and a wireless ethernet bridge you could get a wireless setup, might cost a few quid though.

    ps2 online isn't worth the effort you're putting in

    Directhex is right. PS2 online is pretty much pointless imo.

    Also I really would reconsider not using eBay. Its an invaluable resource for getting hard to find items like this. They have loads on sale, such as

    i just bought a ps2 slimline brand new for £49 from ASDA Not sure if I want it though as I dont think it will get much play seeing as I have a 360, but at that price I thought it would be rude not to I don't know about other stores, but the farnborough one wasnt advertising a price for it. I'll see how much games go for on ebay before opening it and if it dont want it i'll either sell it or get a return it to ASDA unopened. Also afaik, the slimline version has the network adapter built in. Does anyone know any decent games which you can play online are?

    Amazon were selling the harddrive/network adapter for 30ish punds a while. Id expect somewhere like play to have some as well. As people have said PS2 aint great online for that in a console 360 owns everything at the mo -

    Permanently confused

    Vega, I could pick you up one (if there are any left) and send it onto you if you like? £49 + whatever P&P would be. Or you could have mine (still unopened) I am having second thoughts as I dont think I will ever play it!
