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

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.
