Well first of all you need broadband to even play anything online. So if you don't have a decent/fast Internet connection there's no point trying.

And yeah you need a ethernet cable. Not sure if you can connect through USB but pretty sure you can't.

K i got the PS3 internet working!..

wasnt working at first, but i fount out you cant have the PS3 and PC getting an IP address at the same time.. that is why they recommend a router :/ hehe

So, i just disconnect my net from PC, and hook the PS3 up, works great.

However, so far Gaming Online with PS3 is NOT that great! I was rather pissed when i found out you cant play Dynasty Warriors online with PS3.. like wtf, they have online rankings though.. wtf is that.. who cares online rankings... what about online play? like at least Co-Op Online.. lazy freaking company and coders.. lol

I played Turok online, and that was ok, Not to many people are online playing at 3am tho.. i really need some good games to play online.

you don't need broadband to have PS3 online. You can play Resistance on dial-up with 8 players, and it works fine.
