Noobiest Question Ever. don't flame please

I have never played online before.....never bothered with it but im just now starting to get interested because it seems to be all the rage now to play games online with PS3 and 360 so i'm wondering how do you play PS3 online? like what are all the things you need to do it....i know im a nub :(

I'm gonna FLAME YOU LIKE NO TOMORROW!.

no im joking.
uhm, if you wanna play online, go to settings,
and go all th e way down to 'network settings'
and then from there, you just basically check out your online capabilities.
remember to plug in your ethernet cable @ the back if its not working x)
and ethernet cables come with your ps3.
just incase you didnt know :P

and he said sign up for PSN. (playstation network)
so do that too.

Well, you have to create an account under PlayStation Network in the XMB. Then play the game you want online :)chapnzaba

i've tried but when i do it says something about an ethernet cable my ps3 isn't in the same room as the computer so idk. also what type of internet do you need? thanks.

Just go to "Sign up for the Playstation Network" on your XMB. If you have wireless internet, your PS3 will pick up the signal after you go into network settings and have the system search for a signal. It's quite easy to set up. Once you get that out of the way, it's pretty straight forward

If you haven't done it already, go to something like setup - internet options(may not be exactly right) and go to scan for wireless networks or something like it. After that just sign up for PlayStation network.

If you allready have the internet at your house it shouldn't be hard. Plug it into the same thing as the computer. Then check around the options in the PS3 network options untill the internet works. You'll be calling people noobs in no time. :p

You will need an ethernet cable, then sign up to the playstation network, then put the game you want to play online in. I only got online a few months ago :)
