hmmmmmm, I'll make a deal with my friend, buy off his Network Adapter for cheap and sell it along with Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on eBay :twisted: I am just a bad friend.

Yeah I noticed them shoot up in price too. Luckily I found a craigslist sale a couple days ago for a ps2 (w/ a broken laser) all hookups, and a network adapter for $20. I jumped all over it. I can use the ps2 with an hdd, so the broken laser doesnt bother me.

Well I jumped a bit late on the bandwagon myself.. my phat PS2's lens decided to retire on me so I went with the HDD option. Can't say I regret it but a few games like Sonic Unleashed don't work at all :(

At lunchtime, I stopped by Gamestop near my workplace and noticed that they have the network adapter for $15. I checked Ebay and it seems that they're still going for $34 on average + shipping.

Doing a search on gamestop, I see many of the stores in my area have them. So it looks like some easy $20 for me to pick up over the next few weeks.

my fat PS2 came with the network adapter at no additional cost at Gamestop. I ended up trading it on here a few months back.

Sweet. Did you pick through the available PS2 to find the one you wanted? Did it also come with a hard drive?

They're still selling used PS2s for $69. Not sure if the phat one is cheaper or not. They still have piles of gamecube games but they really haven't changed their pricing yet (in my opinion).

the fat PS2 I got was like $10 cheaper than the slim if I recall correctly. I didnt pick through, I just said "hey, can you see if you have one with a network adapter in the back?" and sure enough they did. It did not have a HDD, but I had a spare at home that fit and could be formatted for the PS2 easily. At any rate, I never used the thing cuz I soft-modded it and ran any homebrew off a thumbdrive. That's why I got rid of the network adapter.
