Hi,
Finally had the chance to test my ps3 and it is great.
I just noticed one problem and I don't think it is with the PS3 but here it is:
I have a wireless netgear router which the PS3 connects to fine.
Also, I have a wireless Sony headphones that uses 2.4 GHZ frequency.
I have a cordless phone that uses 5.8 GHZ.
I have been using my wireless headphones with no problems (wireless network works fine) but since I tried to use the PS3 with my current setup, the wireless connection drops as soon as I the ps3 and the headphones together. If I shut down one of them, everything works fine.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks

Your 2.4 headset is probably on the same channel as your router. Go into your router set-up and change it. If its on channel 6, change it to 11.

Your router signal and your headphones run on the same frequency and are interfering with eachother... Try changing the "channel" your router runs at. If that doesn't work you'll have to fork over $$$ for some 5.8 ghz wireless headphones

But why dose the headphones works fine with my wireless network (laptops) if the PS3 is not turned on?
