How to use 3G data to play your PS3!

I have a great internet connection.  Usually anywhere from 28-35 MB/s down and about 5 to 10 up… but one day I just had an idea.  A ‘what if’ type thing.  I said to myself “what if I weren’t anywhere near a WiFi or other broadband connection”?

Here’s what you’re going to need:

1. A 3G phone with unlimited data and the ability to tether to a computer to share its internet connection.
2. A Windows 7 laptop / computer with a built in WiFi adapter.
3. Connectify configured for infrastructure mode.
4. Your PS3 and a monitor (or video in on your computer)

Here’s what you do:

1. Turn on internet sharing on your phone and plug it into your PC.
2. Open Connectify, configure your ‘infrastructure’ router settings (SSID and Passcode) and start the connection.
3. In your PS3, goto System>Network Settings and create a new network connection to the SSID of the Connectify WiFi router.
4. Sign in.

Watch the proof after the jump..
