Sony looks like it will be first off the mark, beating Microsoft with its Xbox by offering broadband service for the Playstation 2.

The adaptor comes with an Ethernet interface and a 40GB hard drive for downloads, and will come with pre-installed utilities for email, instant messaging. It will use Real Player to provide streaming video..
