Don't know why...just didn't know enough about wi-fi to know if it would or not. I can't get broadband at home where I live, so I was gonna pack up my ps3 and a small flatscreen monitor and connect to a wi-fi hotspot to play online/download. But I didn't want to go through all that trouble if I wasn't reasonably sure it would work.

Strangely, I already knew that. But the point is moot...I've got one of the original 60GB systems w/backwards compatibility. But I am considering selling it on eBay to raise the money to buy a PS3 Slim...I don't really need the backwards compatibility.
