On Wednesday, Sony Computer Entertainment unveiled its PlayStation 2 broadband service, PlayStationBB. The service will commence this April in Japan, and it will allow users to download games, movies, music, webcasts, and digital publications. The service will also provide connectivity to the Internet and cellular phones using the Broadband Navigator software, which will be provided by the user's ISP. The software also serves several other functions. It will include a PlayStation emulator/PlayStation 2 player that allows users to play PS or PS2 software downloaded from the network onto the hard drive. It also features e-mail and instant messenger programs that allow for communication among registered users and a PlayStation Jukebox that lets users play music files downloaded from the network onto the hard drive. Sony noted that the software will also support streaming media using RealPlayer software provided by Real Networks.
Service fees are expected to vary depending on the ISP, and many have not announced their price plans yet. NTT Broadband, a content provider and an affiliate of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, said it plans to charge a monthly fee of 1,500 yen ($11) for Sony's online game and Internet access services. The company also revealed that users will have to pay a onetime fee of 18,000 yen ($135) or monthly installments of 1,160 yen ($8) for 18 months that allows them to download games to PlayStation 2 using the software.

Sony also plans to integrate the PlayStation 2 hardware into other electronic appliances such as DVD players and digital video recorders. Furthermore, the company released a list of online network titles currently being developed by first-party and third-party developers. They are listed below.

Kool,but i think theres just one problem with it.Games like MGS2,GTA3,FFX,DMC,etc are all not online capable.Meaninig that the ISP will have to wait for game publishers to publish online games b4 their services can be needed which may take a long time for that to happen,apart from that,im kool with that.

Sounds good, but I don't think I'll ever be able to pay off the monthly fees since I have no credit card and I doubt if I could convince my parents to do it.
