Actually Mr. Spuds, you are incorrect about the ethernet cord being faster......Remember, you-video game junkie, me-tech AND video game junkie....It all depends on what speed your router is.....When i was working as a service tech, before my foot injury, i saw many, many peeps' consoles work just fine on the wireless connection.....True, in an ideal situation, you would want to use an ethernet cord.......But, it is not necessary, nor will the wireless connection cause major packet loss....which is what causes slow online and lagging issues.....Sorry Spuds, you just got Jacked UP!!!
