I know theres a couple 3rd party units out there, but does anyone know if there is a wireless adapter for the PS2? I mean what if someone has a wireless network at home and wants to go online are they supposed to buy a wired router to run their stuff off of or what?

I'm pretty sure there isn't a wireless adapter for the PS2. A guy I know has his PS2 connected to a wireless access point. The access point then connects to another access point/DSL modem/router combo across the house. I think that's the only way to do it. If there is a PS2 wireless adaptor, that would be awesome!

there IS a linksys wireless adaptor for "gaming comsoles" but it's just like a regular wirelles NIC with a little bit of cat5 buildt in. Also it's like 50 bucks.. but you would still need the PS@ one for it to work.

it's not wireless, but i picked up a ethernet-USB converter for $7 a few months ago. no need for the PS2 proprietary junk, and 1/6 the cost.

like Ganguro stated, there's a few on the market, linksys is one, and i've seen a few others at compusa. you will however need a broadband adapter first to connect to one of these wireless solutions.

they are universal, works with Xbox as well.

A lot of the newer PS2 online games only use the official sony narrowband/broadband adapter now, older games like Madden 2003 and Tony Hawk 3 will still work with it.
