Product ReviewsSony SCPH 10281 (SCPH-10281) 56 Kbps

Perfect for FreeMcBoot.

This product was used to install a HDD of 300 GB size into an official Sony PlayStation 2, Model SCPH-39001. It works flawlessly to load games using FreeMcBoot. I have noticed no stutter or delay in loading times. The wireless capabilities were untested as they were not necessary.Read full review...

PlayStation 2 Network Adapter can be used even today!

With the PlayStation 2 original network adapter you can play even in 2019 a few games like SOCOM 2 & EverQuest with some tinkering. Also with softmod you can transfer your original games and have it into an HDD.
I personally believe it is a very good idea for today!Read full review...

Great thing to be worthy of buying

First of all, I'm very happy to get this item as a new one since it was very difficult for me to buy the new one. When I received this item, its condition was very nice and clean and it worked properly. I think this item is very worthy and valuable of buying because it can let me play ps2 games with hdd and experience very fast loading time about 10 times. Also, I can use network system or something else. It's a good thing so I recommend it to all of you with fat ps2.Read full review...

Go-Net Broadband Network Adaptor for PS2

This is a review of the Go-net Broadband Network Adapter, NOT the Sony Network Adapter. I don't know why this review is popping up in the Sony Network Adapter list. The Go-net is NOT a Sony product, and it is NOT the same thing as the Sony Network Adapter.

Do NOT buy the Go-net!!!

It only works with REALLY old PS2 games... 2002-era stuff like Socom 1 and Madden 2002. I had intended to use it to play Star Wars Battlefront 2 and Call of Duty 3... and it doesn't even work with Star Wars Battlefront 1 or Call of Duty 2. The general concensus seems to be that it won't work on any game made/released in or after 2004.

Also, the disc it comes with doesn't allow you to set up a network configuration!

The product isn't made anymore -- it was made in 2002 -- so there's absolutely no support for it, such as a list of compatible games... which would have been really useful to me BEFORE I bought an obselete product.

Do NOT buy the Go-net. Either save up 50 or 60 bucks for a Sony network adapter online, or buy one of the newer slim PS2's... they have network adapters built right in, and no external device is needed.

The Go-net is garbage.Read full review...

Playing games has never been better

While I didn't get the Network Adapter for its intended purpose, the aftermarket software mods available on the internet allow IDE hard drives to be taken advantage of and games allowed to be installed on an installed IDE hard disk drive.

This makes certain games run even faster and even better than using physical media. In fact, I would argue that games on hard drives run faster than PS3 games, and even some PS4 games, in terms of loading times and performance of a game.

I would recommend the Network Adapter to any potential buyers who wish to protect their physical media; software mods are relatively easy to install, and a large-capacity IDE HDD is recommended if you want to save your libraries. And be sure your physical media is in good condition; otherwise certain programs will have trouble reading the discs and, ultimately, installing games on your hard drive.Read full review...

Exactly what it describes

I used it for playing games off my hdd backups on my laptop and it works flawlessly.
Might have to fidle with your settings to get it going the first time a lot tough.
