And I just wanna say that a HD internet browser is better for news. :)


do you read news? or do you watch news? it's just that i dont understand why HD is better for reading news. and i dont think internet news video comes in HD anyways either.


HD = higher resolution which means you can fit more words on the screen at one time. I've seen the Playstation Network at TV res and on my monitor at 720p and it looks a lot better on the monitor. They adjust it so that more downloads show, a download history is there, and more text is shown. I've run 1600x1200 on CRTs for years and I'm not a big fan of browsing at lower resolutions. Try changing your monitor resolution to a TV's and then read this forum. You'll see then.


The whole point of the news channel is that it works great on SD. If I miss my nightly world news (SBS in Australia), then I always try and catch up on the Wii. Works great - I prefer this to using a PC (have one all setup less than 5m from my couch at home...). Its not about browsing - its about reading the news :)


No matter what you are reading, the text will have to be huge on SD to have the same clarity enabling someone to read it.  I didn't say the Playstation Network doesn't work with SD, but it looks a lot better in HD just like reading anything on the computer.  More can be on the screen, it's better.
