Amazon.com Product Description
The PS2 network adapter offers both dialup and broadband connectivity to play PS2 games online. It includes a startup disc with playable demos of Frequency and Madden NFL 2003, as well as video demos of ATV Offroad Fury 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, and Tribes: Aerial Assault. To use the network adapter, you need a PlayStation2 game system, an 8 MB memory card with at least 137 KB of space, and a dialup or broadband Internet connection with an Internet service provider. The network adapter works with just about any ISP service, including AOL, AT&T WorldNet, EarthLink, Prodigy/SBC, and Sympatico. Check with your ISP for details. Connect the network adapter to the PlayStation2 system by lining up the unit's connectors to the expansion bay located in the rear of the PS2. Once your hardware is set up, the user must insert the network adapter startup disc in order to configure the ISP network data and connect to the Internet. Simply go through the ISP setup process located on the main menu of the startup disc. Your network configuration data will be saved onto your memory card. The ISP network configuration will work only on the specific PlayStation2 system you used for the initial ISP setup. Network configuration data is not transferable from system to system.

 Network is dying. August 18, 2010
L. Casas
The Hardware is good. I bought this primarily to be able to plug a hard drive on it. But to really exploit the hard drive capabilities you need a third party software that is not Sony approved, so I won't talk about that here.
This item is mainly a Networking device and as networking goes, sadly for the PS2 it is dying.
I do not understand why this is. Networking is thriving for the PS3, one would think that the same servers could maintain channels for ps2 players. I guess Sony is trying hard to kill it's own child to push the ps3 to the customers.
Again the hardware is good and I'd recommend it for Hard drive uses. But again, you need to check HDD compatibilities.
If you are interested in the networking, check the game support first on the internet.
P.S.: I don't know why the picture is bluish. The device is a perfect black match to the PS2.

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.
Perfect for modding your fat ps2 November 1, 2009

Amazon is still cheaper than ebay, so thats a plus.
This works great when paired with Memor32 and a larger harddrive. I used 320GB.
Games load so much faster off the harddrive than the disc.
320GB is plenty of space for movies. SMSPlayer does a great job playing xvids.
Playing from the harddrive saves your dvd laser.
One of the best ways to softmod your ps2/play games from the harddrive.

I found I didn't provide a review for this although I bought it a while back. This is the best solution if you want to mod a PS2 and store all your games on an internal hard drive. Get a copy of Swap Magic and load HDLoader on a small crappy USB stick. It will allow you to copy all your ORIGINAL & LEGAL games straight to the hard drive and save wear and tear on your fat PS2. 120GB hard drive limit as far as I know. Although it's so easy to swap them out if just use a few 120's. Had mine going for over a year without any issues.
