A very dumb question but.....

I'm planning on getting a PS3 soon and before I do, I was wondering, if you NOT going to play online(I just want to take it out of the box, plug it in and put the adapter in back of my TV and enjoy), do you HAVE to have your PS3 hooked up to your computer?

If you have no plans to play online at all, make purchases at the playstation store or make use of Folding@Home, then no. You would have to do system updates by downloading onto your computer and transferring it over on a memory card/ stick. To be honest, even if not planning to play online, i would hook it up just for the store and easy updating.

I pretty sure it connects like a 360 you just need a router and an ethernet cable and a online service and it should work.

Not true, firmware updates come on game disks as well. You don't need a computer or even an internet connection to update your firmware, just a game that has the latest firmware.

Just incase you dont know.... PS3 online play is free. Dogswithguns
