I was wondering how many of you guys regularly use your PS3's web browser function. I personally only use it occasionally for watching stuff on Hulu on my tv and music on Pandora. How about you?

NO, I never use it mainly due to the fact I have an Awesome Computer

Yeah. even with a mouse and keyboard hooked up, it still doesn't make a lot of sense to use it over a computer. Maybe if sony let mozilla release a version of firefox for it (complete with plug ins, ect,). It's definitely possible especially cause you can load linux onto it already.

No. Too much trouble for me seeing as how i have dial-up. I did use it a few times though, but yeah, computer is better.

I'll use it for Hulu when they actually have something I want to watch, but that's not too often. I use MediaLink for music, so there's not real need in my case to use the browser for music.

It just doesnt make sense to use PS3's web browser if you have a functional computer on hand. Like Inferno said, even with mouse and keyboard I'd still rather use my laptop or home rig tobrowse and media link... unless something awesome happens to the browser, I don't and won't use my PS3 browser

I personally find it quite annoying to use. It's slow and if you don't have a keyboard, you're stuck on using the built in on-screen pad .. which is a pain in the bum to use!

Yea I use it on a regular basis for themes. I actually hope they configure this site to be able to work on the PS3 browser so i can get themes.

I like to use it when I wanna check something without getting out of my bed or just to show off to friends.

My computer broke for a good 2 weeks or so, and I used it during that time.

I use it when I'm sitting at my ps3 and I'm too lazy to go to my computer. Some things to think about though, I used to use it as my main browser because my computer stopped working.

If you exit a text field and move the cursor before the system has a chance to figure out what's going on (about a second) then your whole system freezes and you need to preform a hard boot (holding the power for 10 seconds, or flipping the power switch)

It gets annoying, and I bet it's not healthy.

I occasionally use mine 4 limited purposes, mainly for watching youtube. I also use it when I am too lazy to go use my computer because I have my PS3 in my room down in the basement and the computer is upstairs. I'm kinda lazy like that, but doing it that way makes sense 2 me

The 2 things I do not like about the browser are that it's slow and you don't have a keyboard
