Well....

Whatever your connection speed is for PC, you should have the same connection speed for PS3 on your TV as long as you have a decent router (or direct connection to the modem) and you use a wired connection. Wireless obviously cuts down on speed.

Yes, PS3 uses controllers.

you're serious? Of course you use controllers, it's not mind controlled!! and i can't really understand what you're asking in your other questions.

If you don't know a thing about this. I suggest you research on how to do this stuff. If you don't know what you're doing, then don't bother. Especially when you sound like you don't even know what you're talking about. I mean, come on people. We live in an age where technology is everywhere and is apart of every day life now. People have got to know something by now...

??????????????????? What country do you live in? Your questions are fairly odd. Do you have to pump quarters into your TV to get it to work? If you are asking about the price to play on Playstation Network then the answer is FREE. And as far as internet connections go you'll be fine with 3meg down and 1meg up. Your upload matters more anyways and anything over 5-600kb/second should be lag free or near lag free.

If your controller question is because you are used to a keyboard and mouse then I'll let you know that some games let you use either. Most people use a controller though. Hope this helps.

as long as u are not on a dial-up which i sincerely doubt u can use the game and the PSN optimize the connection. Meaning that you should be at a same or very close to speed of other players. Heavy downloading on the same connection while playing PS3 games can be a problem but u can always controll the bandwith on ur PC and regulate that.

now as for the other 2 questions i really dont get what you are asking (ie. the controller thing, i am completely lost there), but i hope this helps!

I never have problems. If you can go wired it's probably better. I go wireless, and it is still pretty good with minimal dropped connections.

I think he was trying to ask whether you play with keyboard/mouse online.

Also I have a 1mb wired internet connection and I don't experience any lag playing online.

If you have more than one PC in your house you will be using a router, if you have only one PC in your house, chances are you're using a USB mode, to play the PS3 online you will need to buy a router, I reccomend the WRT54G.

If you do have a router then you have two secnarios

1. Your PC is connected by ethernet from your router, in this case connect your PS3 in the same way via ethernet cable.

2. Your PC is connected via Wi-Fi (no wires) then connect your PS3 this way through the options.

Basically you have no idea and should probably ask someone in your house older than you who knows what they're doing.
