Wireless can cause you to lag, but it's due to the nature of wireless. Wired is better since it's more of a direct connection with no interference. Still, I've been playing and downloading wirelessly recently just fine.

Yea i'd say even for single player games cause sometimes they release patches like the Assassin's creed patch online to fix the game problems.

Thats not true. I have been playing wirelessly on Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3 and on my laptop for years and I have never had intergerence, ever. Wireless is just as good is direct connect.

I think online is just an added bonus for many great games, but Its a whole lot of fun and tottaly worth setting it up. and wireless is the way to go for me, easy enough to etup, and pretty much no lag what so ever

one thing that has been pissing me off lately is that online play makes or breaks a game's score on some websites. I think games should be rated on graphics, sound, and gameplay/story online should just be frosting on the cake...

Although the main downloads and friends thing is simple and not impressive... it's free and waiting until home is released to shine.
As far as the PS3's network capabilities, it's amazing!

ALL WITH NO LAG! It amazes me, how good it is.

You are missing out on updates, which arn't essential but are nice. Stuff like themes, DivX support, being able to eject discs using the controller etc.
