I wish they would make the damn FW updates available online the same time they go live via network update
it takes much less time for me to download via pc to usb than it does going through the molasass of the PSN

My cheapness has finally caught up with me. I bought a 20 gig PS3 around launch because I didn't need the Wi-Fi and wanted the emotion chip to play PS2 games. I just moved and now the modem isn't anywhere near my media center, this sucks.
Is there an easy way to make the PS3 Wi-Fi compatible? On my 360 I tried to make my Linksys router into a bridge, but that shit was way over my head and I broke down and bought the adapter. Does anyone know if you can use a standard wireless adapter?

Nevertheless, 60gb ftw!

If you're interested in trying, let me know what model linksys you have (and revision). See this link for a starting point as to what we're looking for: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php...d_til_today.29

The USB ones will be dependent on drivers... I'd just go with a bridge (similar to the official one for the original Xbox) which you'd maybe have to plug into a computer first to configure, but after that will basically just bridge your ethernet port on the PS3 into a wireless signal.

My opinion is that it is worth it to try to get your linksys re-configured as a 4-port wireless bridge (as most retail ones are single port). This way you can use it for both your PS3 and 360 and sell the official 360 one.

pinata, I might take you up on that. I've got a Linksys wrt54g version 2 router that I'm not using, but I went to that dd-wrt site and tried to figure out how to download the proper version and flash it to the drive and was certain that I couldn't do it.
But before I frustrate the hell out of you with my technological ineptness, does anyone know if the regular 360 adapter that should be arriving today (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-...3812937&sr=1-4) , work with the PS3 as well? (forgive me if that's an idiotic question, I readily admit my non A/V electronics ignorance)

Just went to the link... That might actually work because it is just technically a bridge but it wouldn't be configurable through the PS3. You'd have to configure it through the 360 and/or a PC. Still only one-port so you'd have to switch which console was attached to it.

Nope, I was just going to move it as needed. I almost never use the PS3 online, but if you're saying that I can use this router to hook up both the 360 and PS3 it might be worth the trouble. Ok, here's where I got to: (and we can take this to email or PM if you would be so kind as to help me through this) - I believe I downloaded the proper .bin file from the site. I've plugged in my extra router, but I can't get into the configuration settings because the 192.168... site takes me to my Verizon router and I couldn't figure out how to get around that.

You're almost there.

Funny that they brand it a "360 adapter" when it's really the original Xbox adapter. It works with the 360, and is configurable with it (or a computer) as well, but I think they stopped production after the 360 came out. And yes, once configured it will allow any one of your wired consoles/devices to attach to your wireless router.

It's not as bad as the shenanigans Gamestop's pulling - they have a pre-order up for the MGS bundle which they also say is coming in a week, but those fuckers are charging $55 extra for it.
