    hey there, was just doing a bit of research on the net and discovered that putting a hardrive into your ps2 means that you cant use your network adapter to go online on games. dayam!!! but then i found that you can get a usb ps2 network adapter, you reckon that that would allow you to go online then? and how reliable are usb ps2 network adapters?
    cheers guys and gals

    a hard drive has nothing to do with playing online . you can play online with just a network adapter . usb adapters suck .

    you need to do some more reading , you cant play most games online off the hdd but you can still play them with the disc .

    The Network Adaptor is only for the older thick brick style PS2, the newer slim line models have a built-in ethernet port as standard.
