Damnit Sony, stop money grabbing and let people choose where they want to play! Also Martha stop being so damn ignorant and let me show you some facts...

Let me use Bf3 as an example for ping/lag. I live in Colorado and I get 15 ping on average for Midwest servers, 30 ping for servers on the East Coast, and 60 ping for UK servers. For 64x64 battles that's pretty good and 60 ping doesn't really affect gameplay, although it is a bit jumpy at times.

With PS2 I would have more ping, but it doesn't matter for a game that is about 1000's of players on a continent at a time shooting each other, it's more about the war and faction rivalry that makes it fun.
