Now i dont have broadband connection in my home, yet my flatmate has a normal usb internet top-up dongle which he uses for his laptop, now i tried to use this on my ps3(40gb) and it never worked, now i know that if he put the usb dongle on to his laptop then the ps3 would be able to connect to the internet through the wifi right? however he is not to keen on me using his data! So i heard about wifi dongles, looked it up on youtube and seen that a ps3 can connect to a wifi dongle? he was using a new slimline ps3 however, and i just wanted to make sure if it was possible? And if it was how much data would i need to actually play a good few hours of online gaming? thanks, much help appreciated, dont wanna waste alot of money on this!
Ahhh i see, well thats sucky! i know, he pays £15 a month for 2gb of usage which doesent last very long at all, very expensive! thanks for the info though, would have wasted £70 on one of those dongles!!
I've had this problem and essentially no, it's not possible. You would be able to use the PS3 internet browser but for some reason, you can't sign-in to the PSN network, get updates or play online.
I suspect it's because you won't have the bandwidth and the reason your friend won't let your use it anyway is bandwidth on mobile dongles is very expensive and the PS3 will decimate his usage.
