"Whether or not you are ailed by frequent dropouts, failing game and system updates, and inconsistent transfer speeds, you may want to check your PS3 network settings. A good setup can not only assure you a good connection, but will keep your computer and home network safe and secure."
Some tips to optimize your network connection.

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
Theres not much point my Ps3 sits like 10 inchs from my router but ive never had any problems usin wireless infact i use to get problems usin wireless through my laptop (which is y i went back to wired connection)
Im now on Virgin medias top package of a supposed 50Mb broadband connection i havnt seen any improvements in downloading from the Ps store it seems to download at the speed it did b4 (about 1Mb per 1.5 seconds)
Some interesting stuff in there.
No need for a fix IP address if you have such a router. You put the PS3 MAC address in the correct field, and voila, your PS3 is in the DMZ.
I wonder why lan parties (especially those at game conventions) don't use wifi...???
Serious gamers will never opt for wireless, unless it's no other option.
I don't know, my PS3 is about 50 feet from my n-band router and I've never had any troubles connecting to it. Then again, my router does have uPnP enabled easily. I get online very easy provided my $hitty internet connection doesn't crap out on me. Damned DSL....
