You will need:
1) A PS2 modem (Get the actual Sony one; don't mess with other brands)
2) An on-line capable game
3) Internet access. Some games require broadband connections.

No additional monthly fees are required.

Yup, that's it. You can also find it at your typical TRU, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. stores. Other online places are good too. Pretty much any place that you get PS2 hardware and software will carry it.

I'm with akira3d on this one. SCEA hasn't said anything official as to launch date. Rumored dates have been constantly pushed back.
