PS3 Internet Connection - Pros/Cons?

[Rinsed]

Probably gonna sound like a really stupid thread, but its something I've been wondering about. I might get my ps3 connected, but would it be worth the hassle? I'm heavily into RPGs/MMORPGs.. Are there any of these available on the ps3 with multiplayer? [i'm also a noob at ps3 games, owning only 4-5]. And what are the actual benefits of multiplayer?

[Jibbish]

I don't think there are actually any RPGs that have an online multiplayer.
The benefits of multiplayer is that once you've completed a game story mode (or not) you can go on multiplayer and play with other people. There won't be a fixed storyline for multiplayer so it will always vary every game you play

you'll get more out of your games if you play online. once you've completed a story, theres only so long you can repeat it for until you get bored.

Hm, cheers for those. I suppose that's a good thing eh? And I think I might have read somewhere that the connection is free - is that true? If so, then I'll probably go ahead and get it

[ecstasy]

yep, its free
you just need a cable for a wired connection, and a router for wireless (which you'll probably have anyway)

[Rinsed]

Nope, don't have one
But it's cool, dad has friends who sells em for a lot less than mainstream shops
Cheers for your help +rep

Your better off with a wired connection in my opinion, I orginially had a wireless connection, via my router downstairs, and my connection was always about 50-70% sometimes 80-100%, but despite being always connected to the internet, it kept signing me out of PSN with an error, i could only get through about 2 games of Killzone 2 before that signing me out, and Fifa 09 wasn't at all letting me play online, so i moved my PS3 near my computer and shared the ethernet cable and its been fantastic, im always signed into PSN perfectly, i can play numerous Killzone online games without being kicked out, there's never ever lag on my end and i can actually play fifa online now.

ive never had that problem alex mines just worked perfectly since i set it up.. apart from my router sometimes plays up but thats nothing to do with PSN

go for it, its great. There arent really any cons i can think of :S

Yeh but with wired now, even if my router plays up it dosent go off. Its invincible.

That'd be pretty difficult for me.. My PC is in the living room, my PS3 is upstairs in my room. There's always someone in the living room watching TV so thats not an option lol.. I'll risk the wireless.
