Summary:UK, France, Germany Spain: Apply for online gaming trials!

UPDATE:Thank you to everyone who has applied. We are no longer taking applications, as the small number of places has been filled. Thank you!

Information remains below for those interested.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
We're looking for a handful of Linux kit users to take part in our online gaming trials in preparation for the full online gaming service that will be offered later this year in our PAL territories.

The trials will start from the beginning of April, and players will be asked to contribute roughly 8 hours per month.

Note that you MUST have a Linux kit, and you MUST be resident in either the UK, France, Spain or Germany. You also MUST have a broadband internet connection over 300Kbps.

[removed details and e-mail as we are no longer accepting applications]

Once the online gaming service is available in Europe, all Linux kit owners in our European PAL territories will be entitled to request a utility disc that will enable them to play online using the network adaptor from the Linux kit (more details to follow - we are also making arrangements for other countries as they go online in the future, eg Australia).

I cannot guarantee that everyone will receive a reply, but we are looking for about 20 people and if you're successful, you should receive confirmation within a week via e-mail. Good luck and have fun!

SUBJECT: RE: A small question about the utility disc

Sarah,

I Am eligible for your PS2/Linux test but by the time I found out you had enough people. Fortunately I have been accepted on the larger consumer test and will be buying the kit as soon as I receive the invite email on the 7th April.

This means I will have two Network Adapters and am considering selling one of them on EBay. My question is: Are the network adapters identical? I am hearing conflicting reports as to whether the newer NAs have Modem in addition to Ethernet.

Will the newer NA work okay with PS2/Linux.

I don't want to sell one of them on knowing that either myself, or the person who buys one of them off me will have problems using it in the future.

Cheers,

Ee.
