you have to buy the adaptor kit and harddrive to play online with ps2 (which i believe costs significantly more than a one year xbox subscription).
also on ps2, each game publisher has the option to charge on a per game basis. I believe that EASports is going to start doing this soon. with xbox live you pay a subscription ($50 for first year) and then can play all live enabled games at no extra charge. you can also download new content, maps, etc... some of which is free some of which may cost extra. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2002 11:22 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Xbox or Gamecube > > > Microsoft charges a subscription fee for online gaming.
