Agreed on this. I have my NAS (digital storage for DVDs, setup as a media server)connected via a wired connection to the main router. I was using a wireless-G connection from the PS3 to the router and for the most part videos played fine but occassionally they would skip or hang. I moved the PS3 and connected it via wire and no issues. We now have wireless-N. my son's PS3 is connected wireless and he plays a bunch of online games (Madden, third person shooters) he hasn't mentioned any problems. If you go wireless, I'd definitely go with the N version, it's not a major cost difference.
