USB Key for PS3 from Game?

Kevin2006

Im was planning on getting a wireless router but I found out about these usb keys for the ps3 that Game are selling for 45 euro. This would be fairly handy - less hastle.
Anyone here buy one? Any reports?

Cheers.

what is it supposed to do?

Well you can get a wireless router from PC World or where-ever for 25 euro. Just say you're signing up to Eircom BB and they give you the modem and leave you to do the rest. Check in Bargain Alerts for the thread.

i dont quite understand how a usb key can replace a router

\it could be a wireless adapter for his PC that makes his PC become the router? (is that possible?)

yeah its is possible,
this is an example

it basically creates a wireless network.

Yea, its the same as this thing..

I have one question though, do you have to have your pc turned on for it to work??! That would be a real pain..

yes, i am almost certain you need it on.

in that case I will leave it. I'll get a wireless router instead.
