no there isnt a fee for any ps2 games only games like everquest. Mortal Kombat will be free, but on Xbox u have to pay yearly i think.

u don't have to pay to play online with your PS2, only XBOX live does that and it's moastly because u can find things to download on there and some other stuff, aside from actualy online gameplay. it is also true that some games ask for a fee, but these games are usually RPG like FINAL FANTASY or EVERQUEST. once u get your network adaptor make sure u have a RQ-15 cable(or something like that, it says on the back of the network adaptor box) and a router for your modem. the outlet should be a little wider than the usual phone line, and make sure u plug it in the right place on the modem- the one covered with the sticker if u have cable connection, which makes a huge difference. also u'll need a log on for cable so remember to do the set up. i had the same problem like a week ago but no1 helped me, so i hope all this stuff i said it's gonna come handy

thanks guys.
