Online PlayStation 2 Service Arrives
Posted: 03rd Jun, 2003 By: MarkJ
Owners of Sony's popular PlayStation2 video games console will be pleased to learn that the multiplayer (online) broadband service is due for an official public launch on 11th June:
The official launch of the service follows several months of consumer trials, which Sony describes as successful, and will be supported by key broadband providers including Telewest Broadband, BT Openworld and BT Retail, NTL and Freeserve.
The two games available at launch will be SOCOM: US Navy SEALs and Twisted Metal Black Online. SOCOM, a military action title which includes a voice communication headset, has proved massively successful in the USA, with over a million copies sold. It will be sold separately from the Network Adapter kit, priced at £49.99.
Twisted Metal Black Online, however, will be launched as a cut-price product - sold as a standalone title for £24.99, or available with the Network Adapter kit for £39.99.
