Sure, it will work, for the most part, for you. But if the game happens to choose you as the "best" host, everyone is screwed. Also, in games like COD4, if you are lagging even a little, you will cost me a head shot. And that, my friend, just pisses me off.

I personally think that XBL should test your bandwidth and latency and not even allow you to play multiplayer if you are below are certain threshold. But maybe that's why I don't work at Miscrosoft. Or maybe it's because if I worked at Microsoft I would really be working...

I tether my 360 through a network bridge on my laptop. It's a piece of cake in Vista. It doesn't usually lag but data usage is a bear. It uses between 15-25mb an hour of bandwidth during Halo3, COD or GTA4 multi-player and much more if you host, which adds up fast. Don't exceed the Sprint 5GB limit!

sounds possible top do it ... but would vzw find out about the data usage?? How much usage can 1 expect to burn??is wmwifi router free?

See my post right above you for data amounts that I've been using. Don't know about how vzw will react to an uptick in your data transfer, I've always heard they were tight on bandwidth usage, but I have no personal experience with them. They will see your usage for sure, so make sure you have unlimited data and even still, use it in moderation. I keep track of my time online and figure every hour at 25MB to be safe. It's one of the main reasons I am a Sprint devotee, they rarely mess with customers about data transfer unless you are off the charts on a steady basis.

wmwifirouter is 29.99. it has a free demo so that you can test it out.

how do you tether a touch pro to a ps3.. I tried my mogul with a beta version of wifi router and it never worked.. I heard someone say bluetooth.. That would be great

Yeah i saw that post about the bluetooth. I don't know how to do that but wmwifirouter doesn't work with ps3 because the ps3 doesn't pick up the ad-hoc signal that wmwifirouter uses.

I can't confirm but I think you are right about the ps3 not picking up a ad-hoc signal. Some of my friends have tried this before and they couldn't figure out how to get it to work right. As far as the xbox360, it works like a charm. I have played several rounds of halo3 and cod4 with absolutely no issues will lag or even latency.
