    A wired or a wireless connection better? How easy is it to set up (I've to bring it to a mate's house and use it for a limited time there)? I need to download the new PES update so that's the reason I'm doing this - I don't think they've released a patch that I can slap on to a usb stick.

    Also, I might purchase a game or two while I'm at it. How much are they and have you any ones that you'd highly recommend?


    It sucks not being able to use this online.


    Cheers.

    The store is available via PC now, not Mac though. Have a google for it. There was a thread on here a day or two ago that gave the link.

    Either wired or wireless should be reliable, as long as your mate has a decent wireless access point. I've mainly used wireless and that worked fine except for one time when I was doing some heavy downloading on my pc (same wireless) and warhawk couldn't connect. Other than that wireless has been rock solid for me.

    Setting it up should be easy, just go to Settings->Network and select either wired or wireless, it'll prompt for either manual or automatic configuration (auto should work), and prompt for a password for wireless if it needs one. Simple as that.

    Cool. And how long do the games (old PS1 ones) take to download typically? Although I suppose it depends on the connection..
