XBSlink - Working with PS3

**[C*]** · 11-03-2010,02:30 PM

Someone should create a thread or something where matches can be arranged. I would start one, but I'm not interested in online play. However just for the coolness of playing online on 3.41, I may partake =P

Seems cool if you know who you are gonna play with already, but I kind of like how you can meet random people and play with them on xlink.

Will you be able to play Super Street Fighter IV online ?

So how is this better than Xlink Kai? Forgive my ignorance, but how does a P2P connection make it better?

XLink Kai connects to server.
User <-> Server <-> Other user

As XBSlink connects from user to user directly.
User <-> Other user

That means less lag on connection.

From official website FAQ:

Is the ping delay lower as with Xlink Kai?

XBSlink is designed to be very fast in processing the XBox data packets. It's just not possible to magically lower the ping time by half, but i might give you the milliseconds you were looking for

anyone wanna give this a try? i got it installed and up and running. red dead redemption anyone?

Poo.. so these LAN games will have to be arranged first before playing?

Feel like I'm on the Wii again xD

If wifi is good enough then I'll look into that Xlink Kai... (at least with that I can just join in on random games?)
I can always have a second modem set up in my bedroom that I can run a lan from to my ps3? right? Or will having another modem in the house mean I'll have to pay extra for internet?.... Sorry if this is a stupid question. xD

I did not know XLink Kai connected to servers first. Thank you for the info bumax.
