I might soon be getting a PS3 for my birthday and one of the first things I want to do is get it online. Now you see I already own a Nintendo USB WiFi addaptor and I was wondering could I use that bit of kit to get the PS3 onto the net as I don't want to go and buy another addaptor as they cost many pounds.

Please only reply to this message if you know for sure (ie you have tried to do this and it worked/didn't work)

Cheers.

Yes but I don't own a wireless router, you need an adaptor if you don't.

that makes no sense if you dont have a wireless router you cant connect anything

adapters connect to routers which you dont have

like the guy above says get a 40dollar router thats it

l think my dear chap that you'll find that you can connect things without a wireless router that is what a Addaptor is for, you simply plug it into a USB port on your PC(making sure you have a solid internet connection) and your console has a connection, but I am asking can a PS3 connect to a Nintendo WiFi USB connector, because I own one but I know that Ninty are very restricted on their products, if you had read the first post then I state that I only want people to comment if they know the answer for sure.

Yes but I don't own a wireless router, you need an adaptor if you don't.

You'll have to plug it into a LAN port via a network cable from ps3 to router, or you'll have to get a wireless router. Its better if you can do it the first way as its faster but if not just get a wireless router, you sometimes get them free with broadband deal.

I have the adapter that is licensed by EDUP, it works with all my electronics; even my laptops. What you're suggesting is that you want to use that NINTENDO licensed adapter to connect to the net on a SONY machine? It's not possible. You're first mistake was getting that nintendo piece, you could have gotten the EDUP adapter and had everything work flawlessly.

Steal the neighbors wireless. :D

Just kidding, the connection would suck.

The USB addaptor might work. Probably not.

Neighbors is the way it's usually spelled in America.

However, both spellings are considered acceptable.

I started the count and this is the 5th person to make a post exactly like this in under 24 hours! Nobody cares if you "might?" get a PS3 nobody even cares if you are going to get a PS3!
