Wii/360/PS3 Question

[Mezmoron]

Does anyone know if all of these systems are wireless capable?  I know I can't/won't run a cord to my modem.  Too far away and too much hassle.  Figured I'd ask since you all follow this stuff a lot.

Well I know the 360 is wireless compatable, because I have the wireless thing.

It's an extra $99 which is a gigantic ripoff, I wish I would have waited for the Wii.

I'm pretty sure the Wii is going to have the same deal, and I'd guess if they both do so does the PS3.  Not very informative huh.

As Yap said, the 360 does indeed have wireless capability.

With the DS being wireless, I really couldn't see the Wii not being wireless capable.

I am sure the PS3 will be as well. Is the PS2 wireless capable?

Revolution was supposed to be wireless out of the box.

It has been rumored as such FOREVER

I though only the 360 Core needed the wireless adapter?

[yap]

The cheap PS3 will not have wireless out of the box, but you can buy it later on.

izret101: the core system doesn't come with a wireless controller, but the premium system does.

neither come with wireless ethernet.

edit: this is in reference to the xbox three-shitty

So if I wanted a 360 w/ Wireless, I'd be looking at an extra $100?  Ouch...

Not only that, but it does drop occasionally.  My xbox is like 5 feet max from my wireless router, but my 2 computers 15 and 20 feet never drop.

I already have a cable running thru half the house to my room for my Xbox.
So i am not worried about my 360 being wireless if and when i get one.

On the other hand i am probably going to pick up a Xbox Wireless adapter on eBay since those prices are down from the 119$s they use to be

[captain_nintendo]

I really dont understand the need for wireless. I mean I "get it", but doesn't a wireless signal travel slower? Wouldnt you get more lag while playing?

I have been wanting a wirelss adapter as well, but 100 dollars = 2 games for next gen (or about)

[Mezmoron]

When my system is 30 feet and 4 rooms away from my garage, which is where my wireless router is, you'd want wireless too :-)

Your wireless router doesnt have wired ports?

I have a wirless router that I keep next to all my systems so I can plug them in. The more I use wireless in my house the more I wish I had my house wired for a network.

Drill up into the attic, run the wire, and drill down from the attic into the room you need wired 40 - 50 foot cable needed....

Problem solved  

[Mezmoron]

Hahahaha  And when are you coming to PA to do this for me?
