And had to turn to the PS3's sworn enemy to do it. An XBOX wireless adapter!
I went to my local Fry's to buy a few cheap HD-DVDs ($5 a pop) and searched for a wireless repeater to get for my 360. I found one, but didn't wanna pay over $50 for it.
I ended up in the 360 section and picked up Condemned 2 for $12. I looked over to the clearance stuff and found an original XBOX wireless adapter for $35.99. I remember reading somewhere that folks were still using the old wifi adapters made for the original Xbox with their 360s. I checked to make sure I could return it if it didn't work. I was assured I could, if I had to.
I took it home, sent it up on my 360 and after a few failed tries, it got online. Sweet.
So, I decided - shoot, what the hay - and tried it on my PS3. I was informed I needed to install a system update, and the scrolling ticker over the XMB displayed Street Fighter IV info. Tested the connection a few times - and it's true. I beez online with my PS3 with an Xbox wireless adapter.
What's cool about the adapter is when I move the consoles to my new man space, I'll just run the adapter to a router and go to both the 360 and PS3.
Who says you can't take a launch 20gb PS3 online wirelessly?
