sony after a 3rd redesign why no wireeless N?

like the new design but not the drive simply b/c the older ones and even the wii have auto slot loading

sony should consider a top of the line model though with touch sensitive buttons more usbs and ps2 B/C id buy it


Wirless N is worthless.

Still not enough bandwidth or reliability to stream HD video from a server and no benefit to lag for gaming and no benefit to gaming as the extra bandwidth isn't needed.

Wireless N allegedly can do 150mbits - but that isn't full duplex. I've never witnessed more than 5-6mbs over any wireless-n connection - even using high speed Wireless-N routers and dongles that say it's connected at 300mbps etc.

 

I am confused to what are you talking about? Or are you kidding?  I can stream something in HD, and in another room something can stream something else in HD and that is even on a wifi 'G.'  My neighbor can stream 3D movies (upwards 14 megabytes a second) just fine - she is also using a 'G.')

But when you can go 'N' to 'N' it's even better - faster responses.  Plus 'N' is already being replaced by 'AC.'

Is there much interference where you are?


Are you sure what you are streaming is actually at 15mbits.

I'm not saying it won't stream it, it will. But you will be getting frequent stutters on anything wireless, N or otherwise. It could well be that the software you are using to stream is encoding to a lower bitrate on the fly - like that software that is designed to make "any movie" play on the PS3. It does so by decoding then re-encoding at a low bit rate.

I'm just saying that it Wireless N doesn't achieve anything on the PS3 that wireless G doesn't already provide. Unless you are on 3.55 running hacked firmware, which isn't exactly the target audience Sony would want to cater for.

 

I've done tests all over the place, reception is full bars in Windows etc and properties shoes excellent connection. I've tried numerous routersdongles and so on over the years and it's just too darn slow and too darn unrelaibe imo anyway.
