Have to agree with Kheldar.  They are just too expensive, and I wouldn't have enough time to spend on it to warrant the purchase.

Ironically thats how we ended up with a PS3.!!

Needed a new dvd player for the lounge! Hehe. The misses fully endorsed it. So given the opportunity I wasnt going to let it pass me by.

I have recently purchased a PS3 but have never (yet) played online games with it.

Hi Scottyboy, I quite like first person shooters...though I have a heck of a job aiming with the thumb sticks  :-\

The games I currently have for the PS3 are:
Resistance fall of man
Ghosy Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Call of Duty 3
Oblivion
Formula One championship edition.

If any of these take your fancy, we'll have to arrange a time and try to join each other.

All the best
Bob

I know what you mean about the thumbsticks. I find fps are best on PC but I did like resisitance fall of man and manage to get used to it a bit.  Thats certainly the only one Ive got that you have. Not played online yet so would be good to give it a whirl sometime with you.

;D

Hi I am new here. I have a PS3 and play only online. I am currently having difficulties with Pipex, my ISP, which is the reason for looking at this forum as I am considering changing to IDNet.

I have difficluty both logging in to and staying on the PS3 network, I think due to traffic shaping.

Can you recommend IDNet? I thought I may as well ask the people who play online.

If this post is in the wrong place I apologise.

Welcome to the forum Pozzi, have a welcome karma.

I'll go and find some links to other parts of the forum where we have been asked the same question...

Here's a link to a thread (http://www.idnetters.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=3893.0)

I have played PC online, yes ID net is highly recommended, no traffic shaping, I've recently transfered from pipex and the difference is unbeliveable.

Thanks that's exactly what I wanted to hear, I find Pipex so unhelpful. There's nothing worse than being midway through a twenty minute game and your connection drops.
