That I completely disagree with.  Not that i would know from experience

@Ajescent
Internet (and life) has so much free stuff, so why haven't you got them all?
Even tho its free, it needs to be good.
Expecially since we are talking about SONY and PLAYSTATION.

If it's free and I have use for it, sure. I understand it's imperfect and put that into consideration when using it.


I use Home as a time passer when I'm not in the mood for a deep gaming session, nothing wrong with a free game of bowling and or pool now and again, it's not a game that I can sink hours into and get involved in, I am aware of that and put that into consideration

I use the web browser to watch BBC Iplayer on my bed amongst other things because the speakers on my pc suck, I don't use it for Vgchartz because that would be silly on my part, I am aware of that and put that into consideration when using things.

To me it seems people are quick to look for faults instead of the good parts and as a result act as if there's no saving grace whatsoever in an item. IMO these things aren't perfect but they are not the crapfest the world and their pet poodle will have you believe.

It's not worthless but it does suck compared to PC but thanks to that when my Desktop got broken my PS3 help me surfing the net.

Next time you complain about something free, ask yourself: "Does the competition even offer this?"

Does it really matter if what they are offering isn't good?

In a perfect world where everything is good and works perfectly then yes, very valid question, but things don't always work perfectly.  In the PS3 browsers case, it's far from perfect.  Yes, it's there and it's better than what MS offers since they don't have one at all, but it's still a joke.

The little I have used it, it crashed a lot and was horribly slow.  In the time it takes for me to turn on my PS3, open the browser, browse to my desired page (even assuming I have bookmarked and don't have to type it in with the controller), and then actually view it assuming I haven't crashed I could have viewed 10 pages on my laptop (and even watch TV at the same time!).

Yes, I get it's free and they don't have to offer it, but that still doesn't excuse it from criticism.

Well it shouldn't excuse it, but cut it a lil slack maybe?

Nowhere in there did I say it was perfect, or even great. It's a decent, slow browser that gets the job done.

You seem to have terrible luck with PS3 and many things surrounding it. I've never had a browser crash, and most sites (but not all) load fairly quickly for me.

So, feel free to criticize it. The fact that it's implimented and is free though (and not mandatory to use) leads to me questioning why people choose to hate on it. Do you have to use it? No. Will it save your ass if you have to use it due to a dead computer/laptop? Yes.

What do you mean cut it slack?  Like should I count it as a negative against the PS3? Yeah, it should not be held against the PS3, I'll cut it slack there because it is free and it is not required.

But the OP asked a question and people are answering.  Would you rather I blow smoke up your ass? I can pretend to love it or even say just say meh, it mostly works but is there really any use in that?

A day or two, I posted that I NEVER use my PC for browsing porn.

Guess what the PS3's browser is great for!


That's right. Looking up cheat codes!





also, porn.
