Forums - Microsoft - Greenberg: PS3 Browser 'An Absolute Nightmare', No Future 360 Web Surfing

Hmmm, do I want to sit down and watch "The Office" with my lady like this?

Or like this?

 

Yeah, that's my point, the PS3 browser is OBVIOUSLY a nightmare.

The two pictures above aren't mutually exclusive.

I have a ps3 in one room, but I dont in another room... guess what I do? connect my laptop to the tv via hdmi and watch the bluray that way

why cant I connect my laptop to a tv to watch tv catch up too???

Fact is neither is the future of TV watching.. Tv's now come with internet connectivity and on demand tv catch up services will be standard because of this.

I still prefer the second option. Or at least the potential for it :)

That's a good way to burn out your laptop battery too.

 

I also never said it was the future of TV watching, but it is smarter than keeping a laptop constantly plugged in and quickly killing the battery. I don't know about you but I don't have $120 to waste on a new battery. PS3 is always hooked up to the TV so it is just more convenient for me since that same PS3 has Netflix too. Browser just comes in handy for newer seasons of my TV shows since Netflix gets many of them late.

Go sit through a few 10 hour TV show marathons with your laptop plugged in non stop and let me know how your battery feels. I know my PS3 will be feeling just fine, as will my laptop who's battery was spared the unnecessary abuse.

Also, my laptop doesn't have HDMI, it only has a crappy S-Video. I don't want audio coming from my laptop. It's a lesser experience and it just plain sucks.

ROFLMAO

says the company that made internet explorer 6 - 7 -8 hahhahahahah OMG AHAHAHAHAHAHA


Laugh all you want, but only a mental patient will choose the ps3 brower over internet explorer 6 onwards...

And too quote welsh bloke, "Spoken like a true victim of the brower wars."

hahhahahahah OMG AHAHAHAHAHAHA...

LOL....

actually ps3 browser get better score in rendering than IE 6 - 7

who cares?

ask anyone whats better to browse the internet on IE 6 or psN? IE hand down with the genral public...

its just common sense...

so you like jonas brothers too?.

it doesn't matter, even ps3 browser its crap it's better than IE 6 ON A DESKTOP.

people use it because the thing is bundled with windows XP and they don't know better, IE 6 it's a nightare for HTML standartization, it needs to die, and thanks to firefox and chrome it's finally happening.

 

like i said the general public is what matters, and most of of em sure as hell the dont give a shit about HTML standerdisation... only the tech geeks do lol...its so much easier browsing the web on IE, firefox etc. than ps3... and to most people, that's what matters... like i said...its just common sense...

 

they dont give a shit their pages don't load correctly? they do care.

you are using marketshare as way to say IE IS better it's not, it have marketshare because it bundled, not because people like it.

saleso of jonas are high, that doesnt mean they are good in music or good AT ALL-

well never had an issue with laptop batteries.... probably not sony ones.

my laptop is used all day every day at work and at home, only ever had one go on me and that was a new faulty one... so...?

#1. It's not a Sony laptop at all or a Sony battery.

#2. It is still a fact that laptops that are left on a charger for prolonged periods of time when it isn't needed does drain it's overall ability to hold a charge. Even if it does need to charge the battery still experiences wear and tear. 

 

You're argument isn't making my solution look any worse than yours, in all honesty when you have a PS3 in your living room area already hooked up to the TV via HDMI and with a Wi-Fi connection it is more of a hassle hooking up the laptop. Why would I hook up something if I don't need it?

Just admit that the PS3 browser isn't useless.

of course it isnt useless

but I have it... and I never, ever, ever use it. 

 

That's perfectly fine, I am just here stating that those who use the usual "It is useless and a Nightmare. Greenburg is right since PC is better" have a little flaw there because the PS3 browser can do plenty of things really well like streaming.

I use my laptop for my browsing, I would never use the PS3's browser since VGChartz loads like absolute garbage on it and I also can't play games and browse FAQs at the same time, but when it comes to watching my TV shows, pfftt... move over laptop.
