Does anyone know if the Sony PS3 (80GB Unit) can be used as a wireless hub?

Hey everyone, just curious as I have my home theatre set up, but it's miles away from my wireless router. I have a PS3 as well as a Bluray player which I'd like to be able to update via the ethernet port on the back. Was just wondering if anyone knew if the PS3 could effectively capture the wireless signal and then output it via the ethernet port it has...

No, it will be able to join the wireless network (providing its in range) but won't be able to act as a hub I'm afraid. You'll need a wireless bridge for the Blu-Ray player - something like this.

Thankyou! That's not too bad a solution, or costly either!
