surfing the net (PS3) your thoughts

movingtables · 22 Mar 2007 at 12:32

I know most wont have their consoles until tommorow but for some who already have one or know someone abroad who has one, can it replace a PC as a "surfing the net" tool ??

I only use my bedroom pc for the net really and we have another two pc's to get really technical and print letters ect

So taking my needs into consideratoin if/when my PC goes to heaven I may as well just buy a PS3 right ?

PS- I guess when people get their ps3's they can come back here and report on the surfing side of things.

By all accounts it's not exactly brilliant but they have updated it today in the 1.6 firmware. A big issue was the text being too small.

well the browser supports all the usual plugins like flash etc iirc, and now they have added bluetooth keyboard and mouse support it should do the job very well imo.

I have posted on these forums using my PS3 and tbh the only thing which let it down was the way you input text etc - really annoying, but keyboard would be loads better.

Cant you use a standard usb mouse / keyboard - are they currently unsupported?
