i got pretty lucky thats why i bought mine. i got mine off ebay and the guy was nice enough to up the shipping to priority and paid out of his own pocket so i saved a good like 150 or 160. i wasnt thinking of buying a ps3 at all. but i jumped at the chance. depends on where you got it. i would try, the worst the can tell you is no. but im more then sure if you just explain your situation, tell them you didnt know about the wifi and if you can just pay the difference

The problem with a USB device is it needs a software driver to work on a PC. So, a software driver would have to be specifically written to work with the PS3. To be honest, I don't know much about WiFi on the 20 GB version. Is it even possible? I know Sony doesn't sell a WiFi adapter like MS sells for the 360. I wanted WiFi, so I bought a 60 GB version. I would have never bought a 20 GB PS3.
