I bought the adaptor&#8230; ooh&#8230; back in May last year. Registered, and then borrowed a copy of SOCOM to try to get online. Unfortunately, while I was able to register, using my good old crossover network cable, unplugging it from my other PC, seemed to throw a spanner in the works I progressed no further.<br \/>\nOf course I promptly forgot my &#8220;handle&#8221; and password, and so when I tried again with SOCOM II at the weekend, I was completely in the dark. Sony&#8217;s nice system for recalling passwords didn&#8217;t help because I wasn&#8217;t sure of my username, or indeed, which security question I&#8217;d answered.

Just need to put a load of time aside to learn the finer points now, and that way I won&#8217;t get shot within seconds of starting the game.<br \/>\nStill the headset is USB and seems to be recognised by my PC OK, so if I get my act together with one of these Voice over IP systems, I should be able to have conversations using it via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skype.com\/\">Skype<\/a> or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much excitement on Sunday, when I finally got my PS2 online.
