[QUOTE="MonkeyGrass, post: 91667, member: 3108"] Bad luck that would include my 1001, my brother's 1001, his 2001 model, and four different PS3's (2 fat OG 60GB and 2 120 GB slims) over the course of two years? Sitting next to a Wifi Router at 100% signal strength at all times? Seriously I'm amazed that you guys were able to get it working at all. I think I managed a connection to the XMB 2-3 times in 2+ years of trying to get that thing connected. It just wouldn't work. It would pair and authorize as far as the PS3 was concerned, everything was set up perfectly on the config. Then it would just sit and spin, trying to actually connect to the PS3. That's with all firewalls off, believe me I'm a network admin/consultant by trade I know my way around a router and I tried EVERYTHING for months to get this working. Never happened. My brother actually went and bought the 2001 when it came out, hoping that it *might* actually work as promised. Nope, another $300 paperweight.
