Not only that, I believe that all servers that the games are run on are all at Microsoft or something, which means easier to be hacked and easier to be overloaded and crash..

In the case of Unreal Championship, that certainly isn't true. one of the reasons that Broadband is required by X-Box Live is that Servers can be (or are solely... i forget) run by the users who host them - in UC the ammount of people allowed on a server is dictated by the quality of the server's connection.

Needless to say though, an exclusive "Broadband Only" setup is one of the stupidist things I ever heard. Broadband coverage is reasonable at best in the majority of countries in the world, and its often overpriced and unavailable, especially in the UK. No one has a 28k modem out of choice you know

Anyways... I'm looking foward to FFXI, just not on the PS2. the PS2's Net structure falls flat on it's face in FFXI's case because you need to buy the Network Adaptor, a HD (assuming they're not working out a way to compress the 8gigs of data onto a single memory card) and then the game and it's monthly fee. My PC can, and will do all those things a little cheaper
