if using a wired connection you need a ethernet cable
Yes you can play online with a ps3, using either wired or wireless connection
No, PlayStation 3 has free online services.
For wired connection a router and ethernet cable long enough to go from router to the back of PS3 and an internet service.
You need internet service to go online. You must either have wireless or ethernet wired hookup to the internet. I used a wireless router connected with ethernet cable to my cable modem. When I didn't like losing the connection I then also used a 50 foot Cat 6 Ethernet cable from one of the 4 wired spots on the back of the CISCO LINKSYS WRT 160N wireless router to my PS3. I noticed improvements in the connection speeds with the PS3 tests using a wired connection and recommend using a wired connection.
You need a WiFi connection to the internet to be able to use the wireless connection in the PS3. For people without one and that already have an internet connection they can purchase a wireless router and connect it to the modem. You can also purchase a router and an ethernet cable and have a wired connection to the internet.

No it does not, include an ethernet cable or a HDMI cable, the PS3 comes with a USB cable for the controller and the wireless controller, an AV Cable, AC power cord, and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with free Play Station Network membership. Some bundled PS3 come with more depending on the bundle package.
You need an Internet source, but you can also connect to the PS3 wired with an ethernet cable plugged into the back of the PS3 and into a router or modem.
do you mean to play online with other people i think you need to buy a internet adaptor or if you have internet you should have a wire to connect to the internet with the ps3 In order to go online with the PS3 you need an internet connection. If you have an internet connection, then you need a wired or wireless router connection to complete the connection with the PS3 and your internet modem. A wired connection requires an Ethernet cable long enough to run from your router or modem to the Back of the PS3. I had Comcast triple play and went to the store and purchased a wireless router. When I wasn't happy with the wireless connection stability I decided to make a wired connection. I purchased a 50 foot CAT 6 Ethernet Cable and ran it into the basement and back up to the back of the PlayStation 3. I kept the router for future wireless use and plugged the cable into one of the four ethernet spots in the back of the router. Later looking at EBAY I saw I could have gotten a Cisco router and Ethernet cable from many sources at very reasonable prices.
