Hello,

I just purchased a Playstation 3 (60GB, Backwards Compatiable) system. It has all of the latest updates and firmware. I live in a place where they do not offer wireless or high speed internet, but I do get fairly good speed using my cell phone. I connect to the internet using my Samsung Hue as a modem, and was wondering if I could use this to get online through my PS3. I am not sure if I can connect it to a router and have it work, and then use an ethernet...I don't know. Please help me if you can. The main reason I want to get online is to purchase songs for Rock Band 2....

It is possible. All you need is a free network card port on your PC. Tether the phone to your computer and run an ethernet cable from your PC to your PS3. After that, you need to set up Internet Connection Sharing, or if it appears as a High Speed Connection on your PC, bridge it to the connection with your PS3 and it should work.

^So am I.

I'm picturing a guy up in the Andes Mountains.

I mean, a place with no high speed internet?

lmao. I live in northern Michigan, about 20 min. from any town. Not quite far away as the Andes mountains...but pretty close. But thank you to the person who suggested running an ethernet through my computer to the PS3, I will try it!
