its not really the PS3's fault though, they need a firefox support and it will be fine.
plus from my experience, Microsoft's Internet Explorer is a nightmare turned real but since Greenberg is microsoft i don't think he can say that

lol, yeah

the latest updates made the browser alot more stable, but PS3 need Firefox (or at least chrome)

if you wanna test how good a browser is , visit VGChartz , when you do that on PS3's browser it takes awhile for the "Hot Topic" section to load unlike on Firefox.

This site is Flash heavy!!

but other sites works fine, so its not really as bad as he say it is.

Using one of the worst written slowest loading websites in the existence doesn't really prove your point ;)

I can barely use VGC on freaking Pentium IV 3,2 Ghz with Firefox when ad-blockers are disabled.

I didn't know you couldn't surf the web on the X360.. hmm.



It is terrible, I can't use it when I have a desktop, laptop and iPhone which all are way better. But if you don't have one of those or moving is inconvenient, I can see it's usefullness. I may have gotten impatient as I've gotten older.



The best thing about the browser is streaming video for me. Just as good as netflix(depend) but more variety and free lol.



Didn't these guys make the IE? :P Glass houses Greenburg Glass houses

And seriously this is just like the BluRay situation....oh we don't have Bluray so now games are in 4 discs and might keep growing in the future, but Bluray sucks CUZ WE DON"T HAVE IT! bla bla bla at the end of the day Sony gave an option even if it's not perfect. What did MS give? An online service that many pay for but no built in wifi OR a browser WHEN they make one themselves, ironic

"An absolute nightmare" is a little harsh. I mean, let's get real, the PS3 web browser isn't very good at all. If the same thing were released on the PC, exactly 0 people would be using it. But it's far from an absolute nightmare. It's bad, but serviceable to an extent.

The ps3 browser really sucks. No flamebait, but it does.

the ps3 browser is crap compared to a pc browser, but for basic browsing it fits the bill.

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.



Microsoft : "Having less is better".

Yeah sure, but maybe that's why 360 sells so much less than PS3 these days.

Think about it, Greenberg.



He works for MS, wow I am shocked he has nothing good to say about the PS3, Its OK his true colors are showing. You don't see Sony guys coming out talking crap about the 360, its sad,
