BUT I HEARD DAT ETHERNET IZ BETTER

Wired is faster than wireless, although I'm not sure you'd see the difference playing a game. They are usually optimized to send as little data across the net as possible. Where you'll really see the difference will be in downloads. When you're getting a game or patch from Sony is when you'll see the biggest speed difference.

BTW...if you're going to use wireless, make sure to enable the security (WPA) on the PS3 and wireless router. That way, nobody else can use your connection. Don't use WEP if you can avoid it. It's better than nothing but it's been cracked.

ethernet = direct connection = faster internet speen and less lag

wifi = not direct = not as fast downloads and sometimes lag

Ethernet is much better than wifi. I had wifi connection and I was signed out all the time, but when I took ethernet all the problems vanished...hahahaha

Ethernet > wifi...

ethernet is better, buti have wifi because i find it easier, also because then i can take my PS3 anywayz in the house without cables :P

ethernet is way much better than wifi ReMY323

it all depends on the quality of the router, ethernet works great but then again so does wireless, if you get a good ****** router you shoulnt have any problemsluke-9493

Ethernet is better.

Ethernet is always better. I have wi-fi with no problems now, but it took months to find the perfect location and settings for the PS3 and router. Location and even postion can make a difference. My wi-fi signal stayed at around 90% until the 2.80 update and now it stays at 100% everytime I check (which happens to be very often) even while in a game.

no doubt ethernet is the better option

ethernet..but im trying to get wifi

Ethernet is so much better. I'd kill to use the ethernet network in our house(not literally), but I can't because it's upstairs and my setup is downstairs.

ethernets better im forced to use wifi though. if u hv to use wifi not ethernet dont attempt to play online during lightening storms cuz ull get booted. and if uuse wifi and u get a error code tht u got booted nd theres questionable weather around ur area. DONT MAKE A FORUM LIKE OMG OMG OMG ERROR HELP HELP HELP cuz theres nothing nyone can do. its wifi. dont complain. but use ethernet if u can
