What in the fucking hell were they smoking? Does someone want to let me know?

I mean, this is just freakin crazy. NOWHERE ever has em in stock. People are gouging the hell out of the prices on ebay. The same thing happened with the memory cards. Same thing happened with the consoles.

You would think they would wait till they had enough to release em, i mean, shit. This isj ust ridiculous

The place I work at has lots of them. No one wants them because you can't use a cable modem with them.

I was out at EB, and at least 20 people came in in less then half an hour asking about the network adapter.

Salesmen gave the reason that it was because Sony didn't want the entire backbone handling 1 million+ people all at once. So they ship out maybe 1k a week, and can compensate better.

Sure, it's bullshit, but it makes you feel better.

I think that would explain it.

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

There is nothing to actually attach to it..just phone line sockets. Even on the back, the 'supported' names are all 56k modems

DUH.

there is an ethernet adapter on the back if i remember correctly, and from what I have seen online. You know, plug it into either your cable modem or your router, and the other end into the ethernet port?

OK, fine. I'm just going to assume there is since I could not see the back of the adapter.

What games are playable over it?

Unless Soul Calibur 2 has the ability to play over it, I ain't getting it. Soul Calibur 2 better though, cause I got a scheduel that says I have to kick Khyron's ass with Voldo.

Like you could even stand a chance against me. The closest you'd ever come to winning a round is if I go over edge with you and happen to hit the water a couple milliseconds before you
