How to Play Online With Your PS2 Slim

In 2004, Sony unveiled the redesigned "Slimline" version of their highly popular PS2 video-game console. One of the features the PS2 Slim added was a built-in Ethernet port. This allows players to go online easily (previous versions of the console required users to purchase a network adapter). All you have to do is configure your connection with the Slim's included online start-up disc. Note that any games you play must be online compatible.
