Just wondering if anyone has seen the 'new' PStwo coming out in another month. It has built in ethernet. If you were using Airport for internet on the iMac, could you hook up a Playstation to the ethernet port and share an internet connection? What about xbox?

don't know much about airport, but from what I have heard, that won't work. article in MacWorld AU tells me that you can run the PS wirelessly from airport, but not through the iMac's ethernet port.

What about internet sharing?

We use a Linksys Game Adapter with our xbox to join our wireless network. My son connects to xbox live this way. (From 10.2.8 to 10.3.4 this did not work. 10.3.5 fixed it.)

I would assume you could do the same with the new PS but I am not sure.
