ie your stuck on a game, exit out, launch browser and goto gamefaq then go back in game, so it does have its uses i use it everyday

That seems like an annoyance.  Its much easier to just load up the web page up on a laptop or a computer thats nearby, that way you don't have to exit the game.

In my case I have my desktop right next to my 360 so if i get stuck or just want to listen to music while I play Halo 3, I can without any trouble.

but my ps3 is downstairs in living room pc is upstairs in pc room, if im to only do basic browsing, on gamefaqs, checking youtube posting on vgchartz, the ps3 browser however crap its ideal, better to have it than not.

The 360 is purposely given small capacity and limited so you have to store your media on a computer (of course only windows computers work). They add in external hard drive support finally, and limit it to 16GBs, less then you can get in a friggin Wii SD card.

Bwahahaha!  16 Gig?  I hadn't heard about that!  That's pathetic!!!

i dont know what ppl are complaining for, for what it is its ok and quite handy at times.

i think majority of nay sayers will be anti-ps3, if browser had been on thier console they would use it i can guarantee that.

that's only if you leave the external drive in the FAT file system. If you format it to NTFS, it should work fine

OT: While I agree the PS3's browser is pretty bad, it actually looks significantly better on my TV than my computer does even if I use my laptop's HDMI out port to hook it up. I don't personally mind watching youtube, etc on my laptop, so I rarely use the PS3's browser because it is mad slow. But, regardless of how slow it is, it is waaaay better than no browser at all. Period.



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

That's what I do. I tried what Skeeuk did one time, and my God, it was horrible. The pages took a while to load, I got this annoying message everytime I entered a new page, the browser would freeze if I scrolled down through a long walkthrough. Screw it.

I also tried watching some videos via youtube, but seaching for videos was a pain in the ass. It would freeze or stop for a few moments while I was searching for videos.

OT: Greenberg stating the obvious.

its not that bad your over reacting, it does take time to load gamefaq pages though, but u dont only just use gamefaq, many other uses

each to thier own i suppose, i think its a good extra to have.
