Just got a PS3...

Only had a couple of hours playing on it, PES08, CM Dirt, RR7 (dont like) and MotoStorm.

Also played a DVD on it. Playback and controls are good.

Anyway, Im very pleased with it in general.

Got a couple of questions though...

Any difference in having the console vertical or horizontal?

Can I just connet to the PS network via my wireless internet connection without having anything extra like the Xbox Live setup?

How long does the controller take to charge? Does it charge whilst playing a game, with it plugged in?

Thanks

Cheers guys. Im using the controller whilst plugged in atm with only having one. Will be getting a new one tomorrow me thinks.

Ive try out the PSN now.

With your sig. I'm quite stunned you didn't get F1 Championship edition and chose RR instead!

Got RR7 on the cheap and now wished I did'nt get it at all Not my cup of tea at all.

F1: CE is a must when I get my controller tomorrow I think.

Thanks guys.

Remote is on the list too along with another controller.

Just downloaded an update for the console. Installing now. Not sure what it improves, but I guess its worth a go.

Wireless is set up and created an account. All is well.

Now onto connecting my laptop up to the PS3.

Do you have to do this by LAN? Via the RJ45 / Ethernet connection on the back?

Well the laptop can be wireless but the drivers are being a pain. Need time to search around for the drivers to try and get it working.

Can they be plugged directly together or have to through a router?
