PS2 online: Who wants some?
With the release of the PS2 Network Adaptor rapidly approaching, find out how you can be one of the first people in Europe to sample the joys of network gaming.
Playing Ratchet & Clank on your own is enjoyable, two-player Tekken 4 is a good laugh, playing Nightfire on a four-way split screen is fantastic fun and playing i-Linked 16-player TimeSplitters 2 is likely to make you faint with the wonder of it all. But come spring 2003 all this is set to pale into insignificance as the world's favourite console goes online, opening up limitless opportunities for mass multiplayer mayhem on an unprecedented scale. When the daffodils start sprouting next year, you won't be outside to notice because, as a self-respecting gamer, you'll most likely be in a darkened room playing SOCOM: US Navy SEALs against Europe's best players. That is of course if you can wait that long. You can't? Well read on...
PlayStation.com wants to give you the chance to get online months before the Network Adaptor goes on general release, and being a part of this early trial couldn't be easier. As of right now, we want you to register your interest in PS2 networked gaming (don't worry - no commitment at this stage), and the only place you can do this is right here on PlayStation.com. How can you register, I hear you cry? Easy.
Talking 'bout your registration
If you have already registered on PlayStation.com, just make sure you're logged in and click the 'My Profile' link at the very top of the page. Then click on the 'Register your interest in PlayStation 2 online gaming' tab, read the blurb carefully and give us your details. Simple eh?
If you're not yet registered on PlayStation.com, what on Earth are you waiting for? Registering also allows you rate games on the Games Info pages by giving them a mark out of 10, register your hardware, sign up for the e-mail newsletters, take part in competitions (like Game Squad) or to give us your pearls of wisdom on the forums. Click on the Register button at the top of the page follow the step-by-step instructions - name, address, inside leg measurement, etc. - then once you're all nice and registered, follow the simple instructions in the paragraph above to tell us about your passion for network gaming.
What happens next?
As soon as we come back to PlayStation Towers after Christmas, we'll check to see who's registered. Early next year we'll e-mail everyone who has said they are interested, so make sure your e-mail address is up-to-date. All you need to do is reply to this e-mail with the information requested and we'll choose people to take part in the trial and mail the participants. If you're one of those selected, you'll be offered the chance to get your hands on a PS2 Network Adaptor, USB headset (so you can communicate verbally with other gamers) and a copy of the killer SOCOM game.
So to re-cap -
-Register on PlayStation.com and log in
-Click My Profile and register your interest in online gaming
-Receive an e-mail in early 2003, read it and give us the extra info required
-Wait...
-If you're one of those selected for the trial, grab your exclusive Network Adaptor, headset and SOCOM game and start gaming online.
So what are you waiting for? Get registering.
Please note: In order to participate in the Network Adaptor trials, you must have a Broadband internet connection.
Käykääpä muutkin ilmoittautumassa.
Saapas nähdä tärppääkö Suomessa asti...
