Do you need anything other than a game which supports net play?

Step 1. Power Off your PS2
Step 2. Throw it away
Step 3. Buy a Xbox 360
Step 4. Now you're online!!!

depends, for what game?

most online gaming is dead now (capcom canceled RE outbreak and Konami did the same with MGS3S for examples)

still i don't think it's worth it, just get a ps3/360 later for more and better online games.

Monter Hunter online on the PS2 was totally awesome, right up until Capcom pulled the plug on it. It still had a great online community.  :(

Why do they do that?

It was a free service, so I'm sure Capcom was losing money on it.

tribes aerial assault was the best online ps2 game by far

amazing community when it came out, tons of clans...

a few of the devs contributed to community feedback often and even added new features like dedicated servers (pretty amazing at the time)

the devs also made area 51 after being absolved into midway austin, a few of the notable tribes:aa members are mentioned in the game credits, it was pretty awesome

its pretty dead now and not worth playing but I was way into it back then, ps2 online is long dead now

but yeah mcdragon answered your question,lol nostalgia
