I am having terrible problems getting my PS3 to work wireless with encryption enabled (WEP or WPA)

What I did for now was to change the SSID of my network and disable SSID broadcast and have Encryption disabled, but how safe is this?

I have also heard about MAC filtering, does this mean that I can add the MAC addresses of my PS3 and Laptop to the list so that those two machines are the only ones that can connect to the router, is that right?

Would an open network with SSID broadcast disabled and MAC filtering on be a safe option?

simply no, 5min on any windows PC and they would be in. WEP, takes about10min on Linux box to crack, WPA takes longer but can be hacked.
WPA2 to this day is the only one not hacked.
Even with SSID broadcast disabled and MAC filtering?
