can you elaborate on that?
Why won't cat6 work?
Edit:
"An Ethernet crossover cable is a type of network cable used to connect computing devices together directly where they would normally be connected via a network switch, hub or router."
.....so basically a cat6 will work if you are connecting your PS3 to a switch, hub or router.

cat 5, 5e, 6 are specifications of sheilding, they can be crossover but none of them are cross over by default.

This seems to be right. Also if I'm not mistaken, Cat5 and 5e are capable of 100Mbits/s whereas Cat6 is capable of 1000Mbits/s |
