"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.
November 2025 is the 61st month the PlayStation 5 has been available for. In the latest month, the gap grew in favor of the PlayStation 5 when compared to the aligned launch of the PlayStation 3 by 1.57 million units.
In the last 12 months, the PS5 has grown its lead over the PS3 by 3.31 million units. The PlayStation 5 is currently ahead by 28.11 million units.
PS3 got a bad rap because of the price. I bought it day one (I was very lucky). A Blu-ray player was more expensive than the PS3 at the time around 800$+
And that was for a standalone player with no internet connectivity. A network enable BD players like the PS3 was, were around $1000 at the time
That's true, but it gets worse. I remember seeing independent analysis from CNET or something like that. They concluded that PS3 was not only the cheapest, but also had the best video quality of any BD player.
Good to see there is an improvement despite the challenges plaguing this generation.
At the end of year 5, the ps3 received a pricecut making the 160GB model $250 and the 320G GB model $300.
I miss those days when there was not so much demand for microchips and the prices of things generally came down.
Now everything seems to be a smart device with very few companies to supply the needed chips.
Why compare to the PS3? The machine was a total abortion.
Comparing to 4 would be best being it’s the previous generation and was hugely successful.
There is a ps5 to ps4 comparison. The PS4 currently has a narrow lead.

we should also not forget what shitstorm the ps3 got cause of the price bk then
it was still a phenomenal console
Western media did everything in their power to destroy the ps3. They shiited on its price and made fun of the CELL (I'm surprised there wasn't more dbz memes) calling it alien hardware. Still it gave us games like Uncharted 2 and TLOU.

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....
