ps2 slimline

I was looking into getting a silver ps2 slim soon, I currently do not own any console and i am not going to go buy a ps3 because the prices are high right now. I have a few questions if anyone can help:

Do a good number of people play ps2 games online? if so, what are the most active games?

Would you recommend dualshock 2 controllers or wireless? If you know any good ones, feel free to list.

The best place i found to get one right now is walmart for 129.99 for the silver, is that the best deal?

and finally, Is there a new model pf the ps2 slim coming out?

Thanks!

Im not sure, i think its pretty simple. for broadband you plug it into a modem or router i think.

keep posting! thanks.

there are still quite a few people playing PS2 online. mostly Socom games and Call of Duty games.
here is a complete list of PS2 games that are still currently online: http://playstation2.onlineconsoles.com/phpBB2/content_gameslist_na.php

ive never used a wireless one before, but the Dual Shock wired ones are pretty excellent. the silver one that comes with the system is magnificint. the rumble is really something.

i heard they were releasing a new one for 99.99, not sure when though. either way, both prices are amazing.

same answer as above

also to get online, just hook an ethernet cable from your PS2 to your modem. easy as pie
