802.11g is actually fast. What it isn't is reliable, but no wifi spec is because signal simply does not carry through solid walls or past electronics well.
(I hear you guys in the USA use drywall/wood though so things shouldn't be too bad on that front)
With 802.11g you're getting 54Mbs. You may have fast internet but unless your connection is faster than 54Mbs then moving to N is pointless for anything more than a marginal signal boost.
Also having your PS3 or Wifi adapter anywhere near a microwave will ruin your signal unless you are on 802.11a which is pretty bad for numerous other reasons.
tl;dr: 802.11n is nice but as a single consumer it's not yet a very fruitful shift.
With 802.11g, your theoretical speed is around 54mbps, but reality is that you get closer to around half, which is around 27mpbs and that is pretty much at ideal practical conditions. The unfortunate thing is 802.11g runs on 2.4GHz, which wireless phones, microwaves and a host of other devices tend to interfere with. 2.4GHz is open so a lot of devices uses it, so it is very crowded.
I experience interference from my neighbors because they all use 802.11g.
Moving to 802.11n will help significantly due to fewer people using it, unfortunately the signal won't go as far..
So having n would be nice, and you will likely experience less packet loss or lag spikes as a result of missed packets wireless due to wifi noise.
The Xbox 360 S has 802.11n built in, so I think getting an upgrade on the PS3 slim would be nice. However, don't make the new model slimmer, make it smaller! The darn thing can barely stand on it's side.
If true maybe the new ps3 model would be more vita friendly and make streaming data from remote play faster and more efficient. Then we can play games and access all our data lag free. This would also allow for ps3+vita bundles which would increase the sales for both allowing developers to take more risk and implement the same kind of features the wii u is going with.
Shoot if Sony does unlock that last SPE on the cell for deb's to use it should got to ps3+vita connectivity.
I saw that but I only disagreed (i gave you an agree though cause sony should unlock it) because you where talking about using it for visuals. I think it'd only be good for adding extra features like PS vita connectivity and if they can bring the OS memory foot print down cross chat or even a new interface.
So Sony change the term "Eject Disc" to "Remove Disc" & this means a new model, that's a bit far fecthed. A newer model is probably on the way. Jesus I hate Google Translate
So you like reading German pages rather than something that at least somewhat resembles English? Anyway, new PlayStation 3 model is on the way for sure. Sony didn't even call that new PlayStation 3 a slim model, it was us who called it PlayStation 3 slim.
I don't think we will see another PS3 model it just wouldn't be worth it with the next gen system potentialy being announced within the next two years.
Its probably due to that although may be connected via N, you will get G speeds because it has to be compatible with the speed of all the other devices on your network. That's why WiFi slows down down for everything else...
I use Eject Disc feature a lot, so I noticed the change to Remove Disc. Been wondering why something so insignificant would be changed. Seems to be stretching it a bit to say this means a new model though. Even if a new one is coming, why change the name of a feature it wouldn't even have (if discs are manually removed you wouldn't need a Remove Disc option)?
I'll buy a new model as long as mw3 while in the console runs super quite. Because in my 160 gb slim model the laser sounds loud while I'm playing online. Please fix it Sony. Or at least give us an option to install the whole game to our hard drives like Xbox allows us to do.
What I said in my first comment was the truth. I've noticed the laser on 3 newer ps3 consoles making loud noises when playing cod mw3. If you've noticed it let me know. If you disagree on this comment you must be a fanboy.
They are probably disagreeing because the laser is silent. It may be the read head moving that's making the noise, or you're hearing the disk change speed but the laser itself doesn't make noise.
I've noticed COD games seem to seek around a lot more than average. I don't know about MW3 specifically, I haven't bought the last 2 and have no intention of buying any more unless there is a drastic change in the games.
Those renamed devices could mean Sony could adding more virtual or emulated devices. For example, "eject disc" refers to eject a physical disc. But "remove disc" means remove either physical disc or mounted disc image (which can't by physically ejected).
Wow. So different. From what I heard the new 3ds has some new features in it, while the ps3 slim will probable be the same just cheaper. they are doing it to be cheaper. Think it like a price drop
And imo you cant milk consoles. How the hell do you that.
A vita model with a slide up screen design would give you a hard time accesing those touch controls.
I imagine a game that prompts you to touch left and right on the front and back touch pads at the same time would really give you a hard time. Even if you are put under no particular stress like in the midst of a race or during a shootout.
Sorry pal I dont think we will see that happening.
I wouldn't mind getting a slimmer PS3. That means it should be quieter, uses less energy, weighs lighter, less likely to overheat?(smaller nm components) and possibly with new, albeit minor features.
Not sure if this is a good move. If they open up the extra SPU and possibly added more RAM or other features, something like this would definitely lenghten the life of the PS3. I'd probably buy one.
Although, This is just pure conjecture and semantics.
not gonna lie...i looked for eject disc on the menu the other day for about 5 seconds and then noticed they changed the name. changing it to remove disc makes absolutely no sense, the article is right, there has to be a purpose to it. i expect there will be a version where you take it out gamecube style, and of course this will drop the manufacturing cost even more.
No that makes no sense. If they have a model where you manually remove the disc why would there be an option at all in the OS? Surely if they revert to a ps1/gamecube style then you'd have to physically get up and press the button to open the top? If it can be remotely opened then I don't see him that is going to be any cheaper for Sony than the current solution.
No I think they changed it to simply make the distinction between eject and remove. On PC nowadays people associate eject with devices.
I guess we will find out at Gamescom in August cause that is where Sony for the past 2-3 years have announced their price drop & new iterations of their hardware.
At momthemeatloaf,halo is the very definition of an over used ip come on really!!!!!................... ....At Dante112 I totally agree "The last of us" certainly is eye candy and if the game lives up to hype it will be the best PS3 exclusive yet.
if true this will sell millions and millions of console systems and help the PS3 chase down both the X360 and Wii on its way to win the 7th generation consoles sales wars.
PS3 can still win the console sales wars. Believe!
I found it rather annoying. Didn't really see the point in changing something so little like that, yet was so used to eject disc....
However even if its a flip up cover like the slim PS2, isn't it still the same concept? Why would it need to be called remove? Perhaps the new model can hold multiple discs? Thus remove and eject are two different things? lol I doubt it.

You own a regular/normal as opposed to a fat/phat.

The original model was a PLAYSTATION 3.
Current is a PlayStation 3.
It's specifically not marketed as a Slim or "PSThree".
I'm not kidding, my cousin is in the exact same boat. He currently only owns a 360 that he plays with his kids.

Day one. I'm always looking for ways to lighten the load in my Swiss Gear backpack.
but its not a super slim?
Shoot if Sony does unlock that last SPE on the cell for deb's to use it should got to ps3+vita connectivity.

i didnt disagree, but i didnt know the ps3 still had locked ... stuff
Nevermind.
However, I do feel the PS3 is slim enough. I think more colors should be offered to the US, but outside of that, not much needs altering.
I doubt this so-call super slim ps3 would downsize to SLIM PS2 size.

By the way, do you really use "Eject disk?"
I just press the physical button.
Apart from the fact that, having ejected the disk, you'll need to get up to change it.
Sony release a new PS3 redesign = thats ok according to some people in these comments.
We don't need a new PS3 model. Really.
From what I heard the new 3ds has some new features in it, while the ps3 slim will probable be the same just cheaper.
they are doing it to be cheaper. Think it like a price drop
And imo you cant milk consoles. How the hell do you that.
It's coming, just don't know when.
Maybe within the next year & a half to 2 years.

Sorry pal I dont think we will see that happening.
Lastly, at a reduced cost. $199 or even $149?
Although, This is just pure conjecture and semantics.
I would bet a price drop is more likely
No I think they changed it to simply make the distinction between eject and remove. On PC nowadays people associate eject with devices.
PS3 can still win the console sales wars. Believe!
I also just got a brand new scarlet red limited edition 320gb... i hope they don't release a slimmer version... then mine will seem old... :-(
@BADASS6REEK0
Don't feel bad. I'm still rockin' my original PS3 phat... WITH BC capability.
However even if its a flip up cover like the slim PS2, isn't it still the same concept? Why would it need to be called remove? Perhaps the new model can hold multiple discs? Thus remove and eject are two different things? lol I doubt it.
