Is wired connection better than wireless connection

Hello,

Just wondering, but is wired connection (both for the internet and for the controller) more stable? I remember there was a thread earlier on wihch stated that the slim would not detectcertainangleswhenrotating the knobs (sorry, I dunno what the technical term of it is) of the Dualshock3 :P

Above poster is correct. Wired internet connections are always superior at the current time due to the way wireless works, but it doesn't generally matter as Ps3 online games (as with most online games) try to optimise the game to a set speed for everyone. If you're experiencing any lag or slowdown online though, a wireless connection can't hurt.

As for the controller, it makes absolutly no difference. the actual change in response time due to the technology used is probably only measurable in microseconds, so not really worth restricting yourself to a wired controller.

I havea wireless set up, and I don't get game lag or dropped connections, and even the internet browser is pretty adequate. Although wired connections are superior in terms of stability, wireless connections are very good also. I've got a netgear RangeMax, and it's a great router.
