Ps3 isn't wireless n though is it. Unlike 360 and WiiU.

It isn't, and it shows, at least in my 80gb fat.

I have 13Mb internet and it's only downloading at about half that at roughly 1MB/s. It's very inconsistent and "background" downloading on the XMB is even worse at 200KB/s. When my PS3 idles I get frequent drop outs too.

It has wireless N so I don't care. If the wireless is as unreliable as the PS3's with that whole DSN problem etc. then I'd be concerned. But the Wii never had any wifi issues so hopefully it'll be all good.

TF are you taking about? There is no issue with the PS3's wifi. Check your router.

Is this irony or hypocrisy? I can't decide.

LOL. Just noticed it.

who still uses wires for internet?

Everyone with a desktop?

While not as important before, ethernet is so helpful when playing games online. Eliminates a lot of hassle and ping woes.

I guess a lot of people do that, I use WiFi on mine though

I guess some of you people's internet connection just sucks. I never ever lag on my WiFi. All the devices I have on WiFi, are all at least as fast as my wired PC. Also, it's not even surprising. Wii doesn't have ethernet either and I bet PS4/720 also won't. Wireless is the future isn't it?

This is such a non-issue it's not even funny.

Actually it is the people with good connections who have problems with wifi.

Sorry, this seems like as big a blunder as the launch Xbox 360 not having HDMI.

Yes, I have Wifi - bit it is a 'g' and I don't plan on upgrading unless I have too. And a wire is so much faster!

Sure it is not going to effect everybody. But seems like a mistake.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

Tell me a funny joke!

What type of Wifi routers or equipment are people using because all my current consoles connect using Wifi and I've had no problems (Wii, PS3, 360). Only my PC is connected using a wired connection, I really don't see this magical difference people are claiming here and tbh I'll doubt it'll make a difference because almost everyone today uses Wifi even if a few don't.

Wi-Fi has more latency than wired. This should be annoying for the quake/SC:BW type players.

But PC will always the the master race platform for that anyway.

I LOVE ICELAND!

I am using this one, because it has decent throughput. Lan throughput is good enough for my connection, but wifi is not even close.
