so wireless or wired which is better and more reliable what am i looking at price wise to get this hooked up?

i'll have two ps2's and two tv sets side by side in one room for the kids and the third on my 61" for myself.

I would just go wired. Buy a cheapo wired router and run all three PS2s into it. Maybe drill a hole in the wall between the two rooms and run the CAT5 through there.

Although, I assume you have broadband? Where is your internet outlet at? That might factor into where you place the router.
