The Playstation 2 was and still is a big seller, and many of us are excited to see what Sony will come up with next. Well, they have just revealed to us their details about "Playstation Network", PSNet for short. You probably all know how popular online gaming is, and Sony knows that’s what gamers want. The PSNet, to counter one of X-Box's main functions, X-Box Live, will make online gaming more advanced then ever. On the Playstation 2, you had to buy the internet adapter and attach it to the back of the system. Not anymore, as Sony will have that feature built in. It will also have a wireless connection built in (108.11b) for those with wireless routers in their house. You will not be allowed to use the PSNet if you have Dial-up, for lag issues, though. The PSNet will have three packages,
· 5$ Monthly
· 50$ Yearly
· Pay-By-Game

In the Pay-By-Game you will have to pay an amount to play a certain game on the Network. The amount will be different for each game, depending on what features or capabilities it will have. Of course, once you pay to have a game on the Network, you will not have to pay for that game again. We still do not know if there will be any Limited Free Network time or downloads, like on X-Box Live.

If you have bought any type of PSNet account, all of your stats, uploads, and videos will be uploaded into your personal directory, which could accessed from Sony’s website.
When you turn on your Playstation 3 without any disks (Yes, thats right, disks) in it, it will go to the System Menu. On the System Menu, you can:
· Set the time and date, Time Zone, and Daylight Savings Time.
· See and edit what’s saved on your Hard Drive
· See your systems specs
· Make/Sign in to a Playstation Network account.

Once you select to make a PSNet account, you will have to type in your account code that comes with the package. Then you will have to type in your Credit Card and Personal Information. After all that, you just have to type in your account name and password, and you’re all set. If someone already has that name, you will, of course, have to choose another.
Once you log onto your username from the system menu, you can:
· Edit/Check your Buddy List
· Go Online
· Look for Downloads
· Upload Content
The Buddy List is more advanced than ever. You will be able to see, without even choosing a name:
· If they are online
· What game they’re playing
· What mode and map they’re playing in
· What their clan/rank is for that game you are playing.
Once you choose somebody’s username, you can:
· Send them messages, Typed or Recorded.
· Have a Voice Chat (Only if they’re available)
· Join their game
· Invite them to your game
· Spectate

When you choose to Spectate, you can watch your friend play, even if he is on a different game, or a game that you don’t have.
When you choose to Go Online, you will be able to surf the web.

If you go to the Downloads section, there will be many options.
· Download Extras-You can download extra features to your games (Note that additional fees may be required, unless you are using the Pay-By-Game)
· Download Music/Videos-You will be able to download Music that you can play during your games or to burn to a CD (Note that not all music will be possible for download, only the artists that agree to the deal)
If choose to Upload Content, you will be able to upload created levels, single-player modes, replays, ect. You will be also able to Mute People, Block People, and Voice Mask.

For sports games, there can be a different PSNet user for each player on your team, making you work together to realize and understand each other’s tactic to be able to work as a team.

While playing a game on the PSNet, you can set the PS3 to record what is happening in the game, and it will be uploaded into your personal directory. You will have limited space of how much video you record, but you can buy more.

There will also be the ability for Cooperative Mode’s online with other users, and of course up to four people can play online from one Playstation 3.
