I haven't noticed any lag at all. It all depends on your own connection and how busy the servers are.

this Really depends on YOUR connection. now you say you have a good connection what u talken. i play on a 8mb down 512 up. thats speed. i dont really ever see laging though there are a few people out there who just squeez by with a connection so bad you can literaly see them bliping in and out. its really kind of funny.from what i can tell on the psn ur connection makes the diff.

Ive seen others have lag (like you see the character standing there doing nothing, especially in Resistance. But as far as me. Never. I even download demos fast, I mean, Ratchet took me 20 minutes :D

The only game with Lag on the PS3 is R6 Vegas and that has needed a patch since release.

The only game I've seen lag in is Vegas and that's only if the host is trying to host a game above his connection speed recommendations. If you host your own games and have a good connection you'll have no problems. Never seen lag in resistance or warhawk or call of duty 3. That's all I've played online.

Madden is a little slower on line but you get used to it, there no lag at allon warhawk, resistance and stuff, when my friend brought his xbox over to play Halo on my TVthere was a little lag here and there, so it must not just be the connection

One big difference between the xbox live and the PSN is the lag issue. With live you get alot of lag because all the servers are routed through the live UI and you connect through the live portal to the game servers. You dont go through any UI from the PSN when you are entering online mode with the PS3. In answer to you question...no lag at all, at least none from the PSN, any lag at all falls on the game developer for that game. I had a lag issue playing The Darkness online for a while.

Lag is your connection and the hosts connection it has nothing to do with XBL or PSN.

Both xbl live and psn are p2p peer online services, resistence and warhawk have some dedictaed servers RFOM has dedicated servers for large matches and warhawk has a few dedicated severs and i dont think any xbl game has dedicated severs.

It really has nothing to do with xbl/psn its all about your connection/host connection/other players connection, and also make sure your not using any applications that use bandwidth windows messenger/IE progrmas like that, infact its best to just unplug your pc while playing online.

I very rarely have lag in any xbl/psn game when playing someone from the uk or u.s.

if your having problems with lag allot i'd say thats more than likely your connection, run ad-aware spyware progrmas and anti-virus prgrams check your start up programs, just because your connection is fast doesnt mean theres not a program/virus/spyware slowing it down.

It's not xbl thats making your games lag its either your connection/the hosts connection/ or somebody else's connection, but when we play online we veery rarely have lag as i always play with friends i know who have good connections.

What is your connectio speed, what package and service prvider do you use.

have a connection that always downloads between 800kb p/s and 1MB p/s thats a 10Mb connection, but i have had problems all year iuse aol, i never had any problems for year bt last dec the carphoe warhouse took over aol europe and they limit(throttle) speed during peak times so during the hours of 6pm-10pm sometimes my connection drops to 50b p/s and i just dont lay online.

Allot of servie providers now adaysthrotle speeds during peak times, so it could be that, even if your service provider says an unlimited cdownloads it may not be, aol offer says unlimited downloads but they throttle speeds during peak times.

I only experienced lag once in R6 Vegas, but other than that, every other online game is lag free, including Warhawk when it gets really hectic.

it depends on your connection and the game. if the game is published by sony then it usually has no lag. but for example rainbow six sometimes lags

I don't think they throttle speed. I know that cable internet is shared with all the people in your building/on your street. So when they're all downloading a lot then it gets slow.

P.S. Get you keyboard fixed. It took me 27 minutes to read and made my eyes bleed.

Only lag I've seen is people with bad connections. My connection has been good 98% of the time so I've got no worries.

i havent notice any lag from PSN, i hav had lag on COD4 but that was coz i had a bad connection at that time(i have wireless) not PSN
