Hi...I'm new in this forum and I'm gonna get my PS3 tomorrow and I need some help. I have had many consoles and my PS2 was awesome but I never got to use the PSnetwork...So I have heard that the PS3 absolutely NEEDS internet to work...is that true? To which extent is a connection needed? I have a crappy service here in my country (Ecuador is not known for its top technology) so I'm worried that I would not be able to exploit my console as the way it was meant to be. Do I need broadband? What is the minimal requirements for the connection to work? Thanx guys for the help...
