Topic: Did You Know That The PS3 Can Connect To 5G?

pretty amazing that the ps3 is still future proof, & can connect to modern wireless routers & 5G without needing a ethernet cord while pretty much every other (old) console i tried cant.

GOAT PlayStation

Well, PS3 connects to Wi-Fi, not to 5G. It supports 802.11b/g standards that are much older than PS3. So as long as there are such routers that support those standards (i.e. loooong time), PS3 wireless connection would work, no surprise there.

@chesheer my wii and xbox360 can’t connect to my modern modem , i was pretty mindblown

The PS3 has sadly Problems with Channels above 10, also other japanese Products.
If you are in a "crowded" Area, it makes it sadly harder to choose a not so much occupied Channel.

I did somewhere read that this has something to do with japanese Radio Laws, but i can't confirm it.

@Azuris That is very interesting, never heard about it. But my Switch has abysmal problems with all my routers, it barely works with them. Maybe I should investigate that.

The ps3 can also handle a 1tb SSD.
It's ...fine, not mindblowingly fast but there is a difference.

@KitsuneNight The PS3 has a SATA-1 interface, so it can't take full advantage of SSD speeds.
