http://live.pirillo.com/ – Nick asked the chat room the following question:

How can I go online with my PS3 or Xbox360? Do I have to plug and Ethernet cable to my internet modem (which provides access to internet – my local internet service) near my computer? I don’t understand how to plug my new console (when I’ll get one) so that I can access to live content.

The easiest way to do this would be wirelessly: the Playstation 3 comes with a built-in wireless controller, and the Xbox 360 has a wireless accessory that you can plug into the console.

If you don’t have a wireless access point, then you’ll probably need to use a wired network: plugging your console into either a router or your broadband modem via an Ethernet cable.

As far as which console you should go with, you’ll probably want to get the console that most of your friends have.

Do you have any suggestions for Nick?
