I really think I am going to stick to my Pc for online because it's got the entire experience. Online games + internet/video/audio etc. and a keyboard+mouse.
I don't know about everyone else, but paying for broadband on Pc is costing me enough. I'm not really to keen on having to pay another bill to pay for my xbox/ps2 going online specifically for games.
As exciting as the idea sounds, I don't see it as being feasible for most casual gamers. But maybe that's how Sony/MS are marketing it

Xbox Online = closed network. pay to get on.
im not really sure what Sonys is. i would assume its a more open network. which would be possible to connect to other platforms aka GC or PC (not xbox cuz of its closed network) if a developer wanted.
but PS2 is free online just like a PC is. as long as you provide the connect. so for PS2, buy a $30 broadband and just plug it into your home network and your good to go with online games. I will be playin SSX 3 and GT4 online for PS2, i will buy a broadband modem for it possble a HD when that time comes.
same with GameCube online which is ATM, pretty much nonexistant. but it COULD be that way if nintendo wasnt so closed minded.
which is why i say its going to take a little bit for consoles online to catch up they're getting there. just not there yet. and having to pay extra ontop of the online cost sucks which is why i dont like xbox online.
