PS 3 going online????????

[daz]

Im about to purchase one of the above. How easy or hard is it to get online gaming? Will it work on a aol 2mg modem (not wireless)

Piece of piss, if Bathy can do it, anyone can!

If you are putting it near a modem i router buy a wired router and plug your pc and ps3 into that. Or buy a wireless router and run it like that.

Hi, does the 40 gig version still come with wifi built in? I heard that they reduced some of the spec but not sure which

thanks

[budgio]

Yes it does

I have just been offered a 60 gig version for £300 with a 2 games, remote, HDMI cable. Is the 60 gig the best option or is a new 40 gig better in any other way. I know the 60 gig is backwards compatable, extra storage, more usb ports etc but are these more likely to cause problems?

thanks, john

The size of the hard drive is not an issue as you can change this yourself (there's a bit in the manual about changing them over)

The main difference is that the 40Gb version hasn't got backwards compat... if you don't play PS2 games on it, then this isn't a problem either.

I don't know what you're going to use the USB ports for, but you could always plug a hub in if you feel you need more ports.

Having said all that, £300 for a system with all that stuff is a good price !
