Actually I don't know much about them myself. But maybe someone else can explain it to us.

The kinect is an add-on for the Xbox, you do realize that, right? ;)

And, to be truthful, the Xbox is also "sooo 2006", or whenever it was dumped on the market by Billy and his boys. I wouldn't have anything other than blu-ray now that I have experienced it. The PS3 offers the best of both worlds, gaming and movies. Look how well the HD-DVD did. Another Microsoft blunder? ;)

Well, which one did you get and are you satisfied with it?

I like to play with the latest and greatest
glad you like your movie player :)

Yeah, we all get it - you've got a Kinect. :)

Does "Heavy Rain" or "MGS 4" mean anything to you? ;)

nope, are those games?
I just think it's pretty cool the stuff you can do with it, do a search on youtube for kinect hacks and you'll see what I mean.
I can post some video links if you wish.
I'm not trying to fight with anyone here, just stating my opinion that I think the technology is pretty slick.

Guess I'll just leave this convo since apparently a few people think I'm trying to fight, which I'm obviously not..

I'll get everything set up on my end and wait for your arrival then. ;)

That is good to know. In the old days, it wasn't so easy. Cable signal degradation was a way of life.

Yes, they are excellent PS3 only games, IIRC.

I was just messing with you on the Xbox. It really is a "cute" gaming system. I just keep thinking about the 100,000 units they had to recall when they first came out due to the main board error. Microsoft has always been a day late and a dollar short on cleaning up on ideas that they initially passed on. The only bad thing about the PS3 is that it is very hard to program games for. That has turned off a few developers from the system, as they chose the easy route and go for the Xbox.

You can search Amazon or Bestbuy or whatever your favorite site is for "Wireless Access Point" - Here is one for an example. There are cheaper ones (wireless G) but wireless N is the newer/faster/better type. It will come with a setup CD, you'll probably just have to plug it into your cable modem/router via an included ethernet cable- then follow the setup CD and it will walk you through setting up the access point and securing it with a WPA passcode. Then on PS3 you setup wireless network settings, put in the network name and passcode, and you should be connected.

sorry, I just assumed if you were trying to set up wife, you had a wireless router to do it. Thats what you need.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. ;)

Nope, no wife here. ;)

Actually, the cable modem I have is supposed to handle wireless, but it has a sucky wireless speed. That is why I have it hooked up via ethernet to the computer.
