What will 3G do for NGP?

I don't understand how 3G can be implemented into this, Sony has already said it won't be a phone. Will it be for sending text messages or something?

3G is a data connection. it gives you internet access when you are not able to get on wifi. jj42883

This. So basically you can be online nearly anywhere to browse the web, access multiplayer content, etc. I can see how some people would really appreciate this.

However, I'm personally not the one who's going to shell out cash every month for this. Just WiFi for me thanks.

I wonder how people will react on 3G+ Call of Duty with two analog sticks. Maybe people will buy the NGP just for this.

Ok, i see. Thank you.

Would online play actually be possible with 3G? I didn't think it would be fast enough. Am I wrong?

3G will be ultra awesome unless it needs a subscription. If it does, crap. At least it supports n wifi now.

It does. They already said it won't be free(like the Kindle) but they haven't given news about anything else. My guess is you'll get a data plan from a major cellular company like you do with a phone or internet tablet.

WIFI depends on internet connection, where as 3g represents a specific speed. My wifi speed is 22.4 Mbps.

There it says ATT is doubling 3g to 14 Mbps.

I wanna know what network it's gonna use; AT&T?? Verizon?? And how much will it cost?

If we do end up playing games like CoD for MP in 3g, I hope it ain't a lag fest.

I can't see why there won't be a skype version for it down the road if it already has the two cameras/3g.

Im curios, can we use NGP as a hand phone too?GusDeCooL
