Are there any additional fees invloved in playing online on a PS3. Will it tie into my current internet service at home? I have been waiting to get a PS3 and Best Buy is offering MLB: The Show for free with the purchse of a console. I just want to make sure I do not get suprised by any additional fees.

free, uses existing internet connection. Wi-fi ready. Wish I had one instead of my 360. Enjoy the blue-ray, because I can't.

playing online games on the playstation network is 100% free. No hidden fees or subscriptions. A great experience considering the fact that it costs NOTHING.

It can either use your internet connection via the ethernet port (router, direct cable/dsl modem) or use the built-in WiFi connection in the ps3 to connect to your existing wireless network.

Much like PC online gaming (sans MMORPGs like WOW)

But you will be able to eventually buy a blu-ray add on and xbox live is AMAZING!

Honestly that's the only thing I've heard. I dunno what the diff between live and ps3 online is.
