PS3 Q&A Thread - Page 2

Who has a PS3 and plays online wireless? If so have you ever had any problems getting kicked out of servers? I did, when I first got it worked good for about 2 months then started getting kicked out of servers the 2 games it was happening was Nascar08 and NCAA football 08. I couldnt get any help out of sony or linksys so I gave up and havent played online since.

I use wireless on mine but have yet to play a game. However I keep getting IP conflicts which I plan on fixing tonight. My laptop and PS3 keep butting heads.

I kept getting the run-around from both sony and linksys blaiming each other for the problem. Linksys was the only one that really wanted to help. They had me config my router everyway possible with no luck. This went on for about 2 weeks with linksys on the phone twice a day and I finally gave up.

I have lost connection a couple of times while playing and once while surfing the net, but nothing major at all. It could be your router maybe?

Still wouldn't it have been easy to have them all compatible.

Yea it would. I think they were in such demand at first that they may have rushed a bit. Thats prolly why the others are out of production now.

i have the 80 gig ps3, bought it 2 months ago, and the wireless has been flawless in downloads and during online play.

as for ps2 games. i've yet to have found one that isn't compatable though some (like ncaa football) don't look great. god of war looks amazing though.

I think it all depends on the strength of the router. Mine is about 100 feet away thru 3 rooms and it works really well. It is a stronger router tho. It is specifically for gaming and video.

GOW2 is great as well although a little shorter. Both of those games kick ass!!!!

exactly the same as yours.

I play COD4 online all the freaking time, I very rarely have any issues, I have a super cheap router from walmart, $38 belkin. The PS3 is probably 20ish feet from it.
