I know but playing online still has to send and receive information from the Internet.

it depends on the game.

But i would estimate that online play will use around 50mb per hour MAXIMUM. Therefore i simply reccomend that you check your usage every couple of days and you should easily be able to aviod going over the limit ...

about the only time bit is considered is when you are talking about transfer rate... 2.5gig's not much but if you aren't thinking about spending 8hrs a day playing online you shouldn't worry too much. It will eat into your browsing bandwidth though.

If your not downloading demo/patches/updates the ps3 wont use much bandwidth - but as someone said above keep an eye on how much you have used/have left
