I have a westell model 327 W on verizon dsl. The router is on 2nd floor and the PS3 is on the first floor living room. The signal on on the PS3 is only 60%-75%, and whenever I turn on my bluetooth mic, the connection drops very low and starts lagging. Is there any one that has ther router on the top floor and the PS3 on the bottom? And can you recommend me a internet router that can make the PS3 receive at least 75% connection signal, even when the bluetooth mic is on.

Think about it, how can Sony have an online service, yet charge nothing?

How can Steam charge nothing? Battle.net?

All of these services are free and have millions more users than XBL (well Steam at least, b.net probably isn't too far off either).

And then you have XBL...which charges you $60 a year...for online gaming.

The 360 XBL is full of features that Sony doesn't have, has lotsa a great content, but also brings in $750m a year minimum.

$750m which I doubt more then 20% goes to upkeeping live.

And also how else would MS get RB2 exclusive, SO4 exclusive, FFXIII, and so many many more games? Why Moneyhats of course.

I for one though, like this, and lemmings should be proud, $5/month gets you all the games (other than Sony Owned IP's).

You are essentially paying $5/month to get the most games, best games, exclusive downloadable content, etc.

Not a bad strategy MS, kudos.

Yes, but like steam and battle.net, you can get a SILVER xbl membership and still have access to download all the content you wan tto buy, just like the others. I have to agree, that $5/month fee which is like morning 3 coffees (cost wise) is really getting the end user the best of the best.

But you see, the silver xbl membership which gets you all the content, makes the gold xbl membership such a ripoff Because since the silver membership gives you every content you can buy in marketplace, you're basically paying to play online on the gold membership. You pay 50$ a year just for one feature and thats online playing, and every other online services like Steam PSN are free. If Microsoft made it where silver membership can get you only half of the contents in the xbl marketplace, then it wouldnt be such a ripoff.

I really just cannot believe that some people on this forum are trying to argue against Tim Sweeney and John Carmack, both of whom are geniuses.

I believe that I know much about graphics, but I realize that I don't know .1% of what they do, so I will defer my opinions to their beliefs, and the people on this forum should follow suit.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? This is ridiculous. Go ahead and count your polygons and examine your textures under a microscope. Sounds like a lot of fun, man. Meanwhile, I'll be playing games.

Why on earth would I care what two computer geeks have to say? They need to stop seeking attention and go back to their cubicles and stare at more programming code.

This thread is just absurd. Are lemmings really this desperate? They're seeing that all of the PS3 exclusive games look better than anything on the 360 so they have to dig up old statements from old computer geeks saying "but teh 360 is more powerfulzz!!! It got better graphixxx card with more polygons!!!" You can't get much more lame.

He is so right. You can stop bungie. The Ps3 has only been using 50% of its power and the games are already identical to the 360 multiplat games. But 360 already used most of its power, look at Gears of War 1 and Gears 2. They look almost identical, and they are year and half apart. While PS3 keeps on improving its power.

Devs that make multiplat games for the 360 and Ps3 all said that PS3 is harder to develop. And we all know that devs have an easy time developing games for the 360. If the multiplat games are harder to develop for the PS3, how come the games look identical to the 360 counterpart. So what happens when devs can develop multiplat games on the PS3 as easy as developing them on the 360. The Ps3 one will be the better one.

Im guessin ur using wireless? This type of thing is common. Any interference with an internet connection including phone, headset etc will cause a connection decrease.

The only way I can possibly think of to fix this problem is

a) Take off the headset

b) Move router/modem closer..

Yea, I'm using wifi. My router is on the second floor and the PS3 is on the first in the living room. The connection signal strength is usually on 60%-75% which is pretty horrible but COD4 and any other things dont lag, but as soon as I put the headset on it lags. And I cant put the router closer so I guess i have to deal with it. Oh, but the funny thing is that the lagging with the headset on just started a day ago. Before that I usually have the headset on with all online games and it doesnt lag. I wonder what started this?

I'm using the warhawk bluetooth headset when playing COD4 online. Whenever I turn on the headset the connection signal on COD4 goes down to only 2 bars( the orange bar). Usually its on 3 and rarely 4 bars when the headset is off, and as soon as I turn on the headset it goes down to 1-2 bars, making the game really laggy, and as soon as I turn it off it immediately goes back to being 3-4 bars. Do you guys know whats wrong?
