PlayStation 2X Network Adaptor

Received my PS2 network adaptor as pictured. I had mine ordered from "itembazaar" and they did an amazing job of packaging my item even though it wasn't really necessary since this unit is pretty cheap to begin with. You'll only really need to buy this if you want to complete your PS2/collection or to use it to install a HDD to decrease load times and whatever you please. I've read that some network adaptors don't come with both ports but the one I ordered came with both ports but that doesn't matter either because this is again either for collecting or completing your PS2 and for HDD access. Unit still works and had no problem with hooking up to my hard drives that I have. In the end I was more than happy. Again if you're looking for a legit source for the network adapter then I would recommend "itembazaar" excellently priced and great packaging. ***** IMPORTANT ***** If you're looking to buy this then please remember that you will need either the OFFICIAL Sony Playstation 2 HDD or a compatible IDE drive. The latter is the only real better and easier choice.

Arrived exactly as described. It was an original PS2 network adaptor I used to mod my PS2. I was very happy with this product.

It works

I bought this as a present for a gal pal of mine, who happens to own a fat model PS2. I wanted a solution where I didn't have to bring a USB flash drive to play games via homebrew, whenever she was having a party and games were involved. The item functioned like it should, and installation was a snap. The ethernet port worked perfectly, as that's how I played games via homebrew for demonstration. With a hard drive formatted and installed onto the network adapter, I could also play games from the hard drive with better compatibility and even faster load times. With the right hardware and settings, it's still possible to play online even after the PS2's servers went off forever. Overall, this is a must have if you have a fat PS2. The fact that this simple adapter unlocks further potential with the fat PS2s is a great buy for anyone wanting to extend the lifespan of their PS2 and improve the quality of life of their gaming experience.

I accidently gave the seller a bad review. Item is as decribed .

Got mine from user comicon2010, item is in great shape. The network plug was a little loose but is working. I thought it was defective at first but the router I had was causing issues with the PS2 not keeping a good connection. It works flawlessly if its connected directly to the pc. Came with the ps2 online start-up disc 4.0 too. Nice touch with the device. Hard drive connection also works as I had a 150g IDE laying around from an old pc. Highly recommended seller.

I use this playstation network adapter to play with a hard drive is much faster, you will need a HDLoader software, also you can use a HD Dumper but is a lite illegal if you used with pirate games. Bueno ya hable mucho en ingles, para todo los de habla hispana, este articulo se utiliza con el play station 2 original osea el gordo, con este adaptador se le puede meter un disco duro al play y además conectarlo a la red para meterle los juegos desde nuestra computadora, en internet existen vídeos de como montar todo, en mi caso particular creí que el adaptador no servía porque no lo veo directamente en la info de la consola, el algunas versiones del bios no se ve. Para poder probarlo de forma correcta necesitan que el play tenga chip o utilizar un free mc boot o un swap magic, para cargar la aplicación hdd loader, la misma aplicacion puede meter los juegos pero ocupan el lector del play y en mi caso no era una opción así que utilice el HD dumper que manda los juegos a travez de la red. Ahora para finalizar, yo compre este producto para revivir mi viejo play station, este modelo me gusta mas que el nuevo y aguanta mas horas de juego seguidas, el problema es que el lente se daño, después de preguntarle a don google me di cuenta de las dos opciones que tenia, comprar el lente o utilizar un disco duro, me fuy por la del disco duro aunque despues le cambie el lente, para poder ver peliculas entonces revivi mi play por la modica suma de $35 eso me costo el adaptador + el disco.

The adapter is ok. But when you purchase this, it says the network start up disc is included and it’s not included. Had to buy it separately.

Product came in unscathed, and works flawlessly. I did find it odd that the sticker that said "Do not connect phone line" was over the ethernet port, and not the phone jack, but the sticker was pretty easy to remove and stick over the other port. Ethernet port (the one that was originally covered) works as intended. Did not test phone jack as I don't have dial up, but have no use for it ever.

I received it with 2 months late but that’s because of my country. Yesterday I received it and it’s amazing. It was very clean like new! I like it!

Does everything you would expect a network adapter to do and makes a humble ps2 capable of having a hard drive installed.

Though the old IDE interface greatly restricts the type of harddrive you can use in your PS2, SATA conversion kits are cheap and very easy to install. Great for getting the most out of a jailbroken ps2!

Worked perfectly for waht I wanted to do.
