(More customer reviews)Dial up is too slow for me, so when Phantasy Star Online and the broadband Adapter became available I snagged both, intending to use high speed Internet as my means of playing online.
Nintendo's mistake with this device is the limited availability. The weakness of GameCube is solely its refusal to commit to a strong line up of online games. Here it is online ready, yet this adapter is difficult to find (but far from out of print) and there's only PSO that can be used with it. Thankfully, when you can find it through a retail outlet it is reasonably priced. You can actually take your 'Cube online for less than it costs to take your XBox online... although Microsoft really does have the better online plan. This is a great peripheral, I only hope that PSO isn't the only game to utilize it... lets get some Mario Kart!

Product Description:
The GameCube Broadband Adapter allows for high-speed connection through a DSL or cable modem and is purely designed for online gaming--it doesn't support regular Internet access or Web browsing. The adapter is easily installed, simply snapping into serial port 1 on the underside of the console. The Broadband Adapter can also theoretically be used for linking two or more GameCube systems together, allowing for network gaming without the need for online access.
To use the Broadband Adapter you'll need a 10 megabit (10Base-T) or 100 megabit (100Base-TX) network cable, a broadband connection device such as a cable modem or DSL adapter with an available Ethernet port, and a valid account with a Broadband Internet Service Provider. Please be aware that some service providers, eg. AOL, do not allow outside software to access their services without the use of a special login tool. Please contact your service provider if you're not sure whether or not they allow this.
