Going online with PlayStation 2 requires the addition of a Network Adapter for PlayStation 2. The Network Adapter is a first-of-its kind connectivity device with a 10/100 Ethernet connection that allows network access to broadband consumers. Such broadband consumers with an in-home Internet Service Provider (ISP) account and the Network Adapter will be able to play friends and rivals across the Internet via PlayStation 2 games specifically designed to take advantage of this capability. The Network Adapter comes with a bundled Start-Up Disc to ensure consumers can quickly and easily equip their PlayStation 2 with online connectivity.
