its been a while since i posted but i thought i might bring this up, some people may be in the same situation as me. A month after launch i decided not to spend the extra $20 bucks because i had a hard time finding a PS3 to begin with and the last one the store had left was a 20gb. so i bought the 20gb and was happy with it for a while. UNTIL..... i found that it was a pain to do updates,i am very disappointed with the lack of wi-fi capability. it has just dawned me that they lowered the price of the 60gb to the price of my 20gb. i dont really care about the hardrive space. i do though, care about how i have no wi-fi capability. Does anyone know whether or not sony or any other company has developed a piece for the PS3 so i can gain wi-fi accesibility. And or, if sony is doing something this problem? 

i know, its been a long time since they discountinued the 20gb model im just angry because of the lack of accesibility due to my choice in model.

 

thanks guys

Any wireless bridge will work. I know LinkSys makes the one ^ this guy posted. I have a DLink I bought for my 360. There are plenty of choices out there. A bridge will run you $50 or so if you shop around. I'd stick with 1 made by the same company that makes your router if there is 1. That can cut back on some headache sometimes (I know my DLink will work out of the box w/o config if you have a DLink router). Also, I thought when they launched that some people were able to get plain, cheap USB dongles like you would buy for a PC/laptop to work. Those are definitely cheaper, but I'm not 100% on it. You could always buy 1 and try it. If it doesn't work, return it for a bridge.
