Using the XMB, go into the Network settings and configure your Internet access, just choose the easy options as you scroll through he config pages and it will set it all up for you automagically :)

No, I sold the PS3

The shitbox is alive and doing very well.

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

Long live the 360...Its not shit... Its ace if you have call of duty..

[bigman2]

One small tip for you, avoid any game made by EA for the PS3. Most their Ps3 titles have major frame rate errors on the PS3. Read as many review of any EA games and wait till they release patches to correct their cock-ups before buying anything.

Do the idiots at EA not test their games or are their testers registered blind ?

oh my god ,wots up with ya? lol
didnt think you'd sell the ps3 m8

You could Install Linux on it (http://www.ps3linuxworld.com/) and use it as a PC.

It's got a Wii-busting motion-sensing controller. Kind of.
The PS3's controller is called SIXAXIS, and it's wireless, using Bluetooth to connect to the console. Its battery lasts for 30 hours, after which it needs recharging via its mini-USB port (but you can still play while it's connected).
You can hook your PSP up to PS3
It's got Blu-ray inside
The wireless gamepad's one drawback it that you can't tell how much juice is left. And you only find out when the game no longer responds to you button pressing and you die horribly. The way to ensure you have enough power to finish Grand Theft Auto (or any game) is to press and hold the PS button. An indicator will appear and will show up on screen as a small battery. A full battery means you are fully-charged up and ready to play.
Buy the sony remote control and use your ps3 as a fully fledged Meia center
upgrade your HDD
Load all your music and Videos on your ps3

there is lots you can do with the PS3 and teh web is full of tips and tricks.

Enjoy and as ever if you have any problems post them here as somone (including me) will help for sure.

this is true.


[ You can hook your PSP up to PS3

True but why would you want to?


[ It's got Blu-ray inside

Woo hoo! a soon to be dead technology!!

you CAN tell how much juice is left whenever you want.


[ Buy the sony remote control and use your ps3 as a fully fledged Meia center

Fully fledged Media Centre? are you insane? Are you mentally ill?
To be classed as a fully fledged media centre, would it not need the ability to play most movie files and not just divx (and thats when it feels like it)


[ upgrade your HDD

True


[ Load all your music and Videos on your ps3

All your music? Certainly. All your videos? unlikely

Plus:-

It looks like a coffin lid

The games (even preowned) are hideously expensive

Online play is a bitch (albeit free)

Its not hacked
