I still play some old PS2 online games using the PS3 and there's a good amount of players on the first Star Wars Battlefront.

Is it still acheivable to play PS2 Online ? I heard Syphon Filter the Omega Strain got it's servers shut down after three months, I also heard that short lived online sevice is typical for PS2 Online.

Some people still go online especially sport titles that are new. But if you had a choice of a ps3 or 360 i would have to say no it's not worth it at all.

Yes it is free except for one Final Fantasy game where you have to pay, but thats a completely separate thing all together. If you want to go online there are a few problems you will encounter as a lot of games have dead servers and a lot of servers are shutting down, espessially as the prominence of the PS2 fades away. There are some solid online game communities, but I cannot see them lasting for much longer.

It still might be worth it as long as you get popular titles like Madden 09, or whatever other "new", online friendly games are out there.

i say it is definitly worth it, seeing that its free. if you have a ps2, its easy to set up. also even now at the begining of 2010, i just got socom combined assault, and when i went online, i was amazed to see that there were over 2000 people online for that game. yes, two thousand. I didnt accidentally add a zero. so anyway, i still think its worth it if you have the stuff. I dont know that i would buy a ps2 just for the online, but if you have one, go for it

For me, it was MGS3's Metal Gear Online. I had a lot of fun with that game.
