Things From The Various Stores)? I cannot get DSL or Wired High Speed Internet at all at my location. TDS said it would cost $100,000 to bring it to my area, so I'm stuck with Dial up or Satellite Internet.

I need to know how good Satellite internet is for gaming in these following categories. 3mb Satellite internet speed is what I'm aiming at getting.

Gameplay - Is it possible, how slow is it actually for latency? Can you get online Trophies/Achievements that some games require? FPS's, will it completely ruin the online multiplayer experience or is it like playing on 512mb DSL?

Updates - Can you do system updates, status updates, so your online friends can see on PSN and Xbox Live?

Messaging - Can you message your friends online as easy with Satellite internet?

Store - Can you log in to the PSN Store, Xbox Marketplace with ease and reliability.

Anything extra will be helpful!
