PS2 Online User Base Passes 1.4 million

Jane_the_Great writes "The number of PS2 owners who have ventured online with their consoles has passed 1.4 million users. This article cites SCEA Executive VP Andrew House as saying, "What I think is particularly interesting is, not only are we seeing a lot of the numbers being driven off the Network Adapter bundle, but consistently there are sales of the standalone Network Adapter." Does this growth signal the arrival of online console gaming? And if there are so many people online, why can't I find someone that will play Madden 2005 like a reasonable and polite person?"

PS2 Network Adapter is also a HD adapter by vasqzr · 2004-09-01 01:11 · Score: 5, Interesting

Lets rememeber not everyone purchased a PS2 Network Adapter to go online. Almost all the people I know, have used them to hook up hard drives, and the rip games to it.

HD LOADER, most any bargain-of-the-week HD, and a little time and you can have 60+ games on your PS2, without needing a single CD.
