Been having a look. It seems as the xbox v PS3 online play comes down to the ports being used. Did some searching and these are the ports that should be opened or forwarded for you PS3:

Application: CODBOPS3 External port: 80 Internal port: 80 Protocol: TCP

Application: CODBOPSA External port: 81 Internal port: 81 Protocol: TCP/UDP

Application: CODBOPSB External port: 443 Internal port: 443 Protocol: TCP

Application: CODBOPSC External port: 3074 Internal port: 3074 Protocol: TCP/UDP

Application: CODBOPSD External port: 3075 Internal port: 3075 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODBOPSE External port: 3478 Internal port: 3478 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODBOPSF External port: 5223 Internal port: 5223 Protocol: TCP


I did something similar for NHL on the PS3 and it worked. Just remember to open these ports for the PS3 only. Specify an IP for the PS3 then in your router open/forward the ports for that IP address.

These are the ports for Modern warfare 2:

Application: CODMW2 External port: 1500 Internal port: 1500 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODMW2A External port: 3005 Internal port: 3005 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODMW2B External port: 3101 Internal port: 3101 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODMW2C External port: 28960 Internal port: 28960 Protocol: UDP

Application: CODMW2D External port: 27015 Internal port: 27015 Protocol: TCP

Had a wee look at Playstation Plus and it looks from first glance to just be a content upgrade, rather than a service upgrade.

Zimbo it's £40 per year and for that you get fully playable demmo's (limited time) and access to other game downloads and content. Nothing that interests me.

If anyone can find a reference to an improved online service, I'd be up for it.

Doesn't PSN allow you to download playable Demo's of some games anyway?

Yeah but I think this is ahead of the general release of the Demo on PSN.

Lol. Basically you could be getting problems accessing games and getting bad connections as some of your ports may be blocked. Your router will block certain ports so you need to go into it and open those ports. It allows you better connections. We always had game disconnections, slow play etc... on NHL. So I checked the ports, opened them and it played perfect. Just a thought, but it may work here.

Has anyone read the updates on Sony/PSN? There were 2 breakins. The one we know about and a second. The second one wasn't as severe as the first but the got 12000 credit card details. Though mostly stuff dating to 2007.

Also when the PSN comes back up you will need to install an update. This update will require you to change your password for security. Thing I found out is you're gonna need your original PS3 (The one you set the account up on originally). This is gonna be a problem for me since my last one went up.

There must be a way around this as Sony is aware of PS3's breaking down (£120 to replace them). So they have to have an alternative. If anyone can find this work around then let me know.

Ok, looked into it. There's an email validation alternative if you don't have the original PS3 for your account.
