im buying a ps3 06-12-08

so im finaly getting internet other than dial up.
are you required to have a computer to conect
to the internet on the ps3 cause my comp cant
handle anything above dial up.

so i should get a router? i dont plan to go wireless
i want a direct connection. and can i put a pow on my
connection without a computer?

what is the required speed to play ps3 games online?
i dont think i can afford comcast. ive searched google
and cant find anuthing other than speculation.

I don't own a PS3 but my friend does and we were talking one day about what's better the PS3 or the 360 and one point that he made was that the PS3 has a router already in it so there is no need to have a computer.Im not 100% tho

You need faster than dial-up for sure. On the case of every online PS3 game, it says Online:Broadband required.

And Xortan the PS3 doesn't have a router, it has built-in wi-fi so that it can see wireless routers

Dialup would never work

get dsl 1.5 down and 1 up is plenty good... dont get a router as most dsl companies come with one, you'll need an ethernet hub instead.... That'll fix ya up just fine

or just get a cable modem..and use that..the ps3 is just like a computer with the full internet broswers..so there is no problem there..so just set it up for Wired connection...and let er rip..and you will be online in no time

you guys gonna be on mgs4?

As the others alluded to, you don't need a PC for run multiplayer on the PS3. Just make sure you've got broadband, and are able to connect the PS3 either 1) wired (which seems to be your preference) or 2) wireless (which the PS3 can do as well).

I'm probably not going to do MGS4, but if your on COD4, GTA4 or whathaveyou, my PSN is: Barry32171

Cheers!

I will definitely be on MGS4 when it comes out, and if i get broadband to play it online. Yet to connect to PSN though and create my account
