Playstation 3 Wireless Adapter Purchasing Help?
My friend hasa Playstation 3 console that needs a Wireless Networking Adapter for it to connect to his PS3. Price is no barrier. I found a link on Amazon that was entitled "Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter" that is said to be platformed for both PS3 and Xbox 360. My friend doesn't trust that it will work on PS3, or at least won't take the risk of buying it. He prefer's that it come from a retail store such as WalMart or GameStop or EBGames - something along those lines of major retailers, but I am sure he would get it if he wanted, since he bought an 80gig iPod online a year or two ago for $240, and I am pretty sure that if a Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter is $100 by the original console manufacturer, Sony's should be the same price, if not a little more or a lot cheaper. All I know is that it won't be even close to $240. If you have any links, please post them along in your "Sources" section for easier access. I also appreciate the time!

Just get any wireless ethernet bridge or adaptor, and plug it into the ethernet port on the PS3. Provided he has a wireless router, he's all set.
I'm assuming he has the original 20GB PS3 because that's the only one that doesn't have built-in wifi.

Do you mean he needs a wireless router?
The PS3 does not need a wireless adapter, because the PS3 has wireless built in (except the original 20GB PS3 which hasn't been sold for years). If he does have a 20GB PS3, then he will need a Wireless Ethernet Bridge ( http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-... ) in order to get wireless on the 20GB PS3. When it comes to the Wireless Ethernet Bridge, the 20GB PS3 is compatible with all Wireless Ethernet Bridges.
If it is a wireless router he needs, then I suggest the D-Link DIR-655 ( http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-DIR-655-Extreme-Wirel... ). I have this router, and I can get the signal nine houses down from mine. It gives off a strong signal, and is very easy to set up, and I have never had any problems with it.
If your friend already has a wireless router, then all he has to do is set the PS3 up with it, and he is good to go: http://us.playstation.com/support/answer/index.htm... (he will need to pick whether he is using DSL modem and router or Cable modem and router).
