I use a wired connection with a ethernet cable to my router and do not ever have problems except when the PSN was shut down a month in April/May 2011
no, the PS3 can just connect to the internet if you have broadband internet service
You can not download the Internet Explorer on the PS3
You can not share your phone wireless internet with your PS3. The PS3 will search for a WiFi connection and if one is found it can be used to connect to the internet. If you have internet service it is not a problem to connect to the PS3
Yes, the internet is free for the ps3 but you must have a connection to the internet for it to be free.
PS3!!! the internet is free on ps3, the games are the same quality, they don't have as many problems as the 360, and the ps3 has more features. PS3 OWNS!!! and ps3 dosent get a red light, black screen or red screen of death like the xbox 360 does.
A PS3 slim has WiFi and wired capabilities for internet usage. It will depend on each individuals internet connection as to the slowness of the PS3.
You have to have wireless internet and then the PS3 has the ability to connect to it.
No, your ps3 has nothing to do with my Internet (which is working fine).
Yes if you can not sign in it is not a site wide problem. When you can not sign in your PS3 try the PSN network on your computer. The related link will get you there and if there are any site problems you will find a message
The charge is for the internet access if you don't already have internet access. PS3 does not provide free internet it provides free use of the PlayStation Network on the internet. It does not matter if you use WiFi or an Ethernet cable to connect the use of the PS3 on the internet is free, the internet is the same charge to you with or without a PS3.
Some downloaded games from the internet require internet be activated on a PS3 and will not work without it.
The PS3 does not connect to the internet using the USB port on the PS3. You must connect with either WiFi or an ethernet cable. The USB port on the PS3 is not designed to provide the PS3 with an internet connection and nothing connected to it will allow the PS3 to be connected to the internet
