PS2 is region based and in the UK only EU releases can be played. Chipping allows import games to be played on the PS2 but the security features on PSU means that if any of the hardware used is not SONY brand then the authentication process will be cancelled when trying to get online. So if you are using a third party memory card or network adapter you will not be able connect. Also if your PS2 is modified in any way You cannot connect.
so to get online with a PS2 in the UK you MUST:
Wait until the oficial release on November 24th.
Have an Official Sony 8mb Memory card (magic gate)
Have an Official Sony Network Adapter or PSTWO Slimline.
Your Playstation must not be modified
It sucks :-( that us Importers can't get PSU early on the PS2 but Im pretty sure you can get online with the PC version if you were to import it. As many people have been playing PSU-JP version online for some time now on PC. But dont hold me to that.
My Source for this Info being the official psu board at http://www.phantasystaruniverse.com
Hope this Helps
