Re: Can I use my Pro as a WiFi receiver for my 360?

Since we're on subject about consoles, I have the Wii, 360, PS3 (40GB), DS, and PSP...

Honestly, out of all of them, the coolest system is the PS3 (and I used to be a huge 360 fanboy). You just can't beat it. It looks great, comes with WiFi, internet gaming is free (sucks HARD in comparison to XBOX Live though), plays my Blu Rays, upverts DVD's nicely, is a great media device, and I can wirelessly connect my PSP to it. It's just simply unbeatable.

That being said, most of my games I own are for the XBox 360. XBox live is fantastic, and they just have great titles that Sony doesn't have (Fable, GoW, Forza), and some games are documented to work better with it (hardware, i.e. Guitar Hero games).

And of course, the Wii is a budget monster. Internal WiFi, ultimate possibilities, and tons of fun for $250. But damn the graphics suck. lol

Ive had them all except PSP. End result us sold DS, Sold Wii, PS3 gathering dust playing BluRay only. 360 used mainly for watching Divx and Netflix, and occasionally getting only in Halo. IMO 360 is the best console by far, and PS3 is rather boring due to its lackluster content and online gaming.

Yea get wifirouter and you can use your TP as an Internet wireless access point for OS3 or xbox. Also for xbox you can go chaper by buying a $40 router, instaling ddwrt, and putting it in client bridged mode to be uses as a wireless card. works much better than a wireless card in my experience

or even cheaper if u can score a free la fonera router :)

To my knowledge you cannot use the phone directly with the XBOX. Unless of course you have a wifi adapter and the xbox supports Ad-HOC. This is the problem with trying to use it on PS3 and PSP. Both of those devices only support internet connections in Infrastructure mode.

your phone connects on 802.11b which is 11 mbps. and your phone can't even operate that fast online. even if you could hook it up you would probably have great lag and it probably would have a hard time staying on the servers. microsoft will make you buy their adapter for their product. so i dont deal with them. PS3 and linux. so much easier

In theory if you have good signal strength the phone would be more then enough to play online games with.

I think it's funny that people complain about the Wii not having an Ethernet port, while at the same time people complain about the 360 not having the Wifi...

PS3, of course, gets no such complaints...
