I,m really looking forward to the ps3 launch and can't wait to go online with it but my broadband connection aint going to get any faster, i'm stuck with 512kbps (56kb transfer rate),so if any one can help me out and tell if this speed going to be fast enough!!...thanx.
Your going to get lag, but it'll suffice. I had a connection of 40 kb a second, and it worked fine. Expect a ping of like 180, which is acceptable. Just remember that downloads will be slow, but you knew that.
512kbps is good enough for online gaming. Just don't host any games and do anything else with the connection when playing online. Are you sure you have 512kbps? What service is that?
I'm happy enough with that at least i can participate i aint botherd about hosting. this will be my first experience of online gaming and it will do untill i get faster broadband....cheers for the comments
Well, you should really try for a better internet. That one sucks, to be frank. Playing with a slower internet won't be as fun, I mean it's the PS3, come on. Besides, surfing the internet with a slow connection is a drag.

Online gaming does not require much bandwidth and internet browsing will be decent with those speeds. What will be slow is downloading large files and you shouldn't host online games because it will lag. A 128k connection is actually all that is needed for online gaming.
The responce has been fantastic....very positive... really looking forward to the launch now!!! No6 on the list at my local hmv store, should get one on launch day..thanks again for the comments!!!
you will be a happy gamer thats fast ....well faster than my connection ( six times faster) and my connection at 512kbps is just about getting away with it.
