Well, this thing does have wi fi. If it didn't have the internet, you'd probably complain.

Nope; it's very handy for checking my work e-mail and my sweetie and I sometimes use it when we're lounging in bed to look stuff up on wikipedia or whatnot

I use it every once in a while. It's nice to have, and certainly nothing to complain about. Besides, with the internet browser you can store flash games on your PSP. That is reason enough to use the internet browser. =)

I would like it more if I could use the Memory Stick as one would with memory on a computer, so that I wouldn't get any more memory outages while browsing.

for everyone saying that the net on the psp is slow WTF. maybe my psp is an anomoly but i never find that net is slow, ofcourse its not as fast as my pc but it can no way be considered slow. i grew up in the times of narrowband and 512 broadband was like only for the super-rich :P luckily now i have 10MB. btw i find the internet very useful on the psp, instead of sittin down in front of my pc i can just search whatever im lookin for on the go anywhere in my house.

it's useful for those who use it on a regular basis but personally i have used it a few times to download add-on packs for Wipeout Pure. Since then i haven't used it because it's too much of a hassle trying to browse through something that's slow.

It's very handy when I am at a hotel with wireless connection or at my grandmas house (I steel the neighbors connection) so I can email people and other things. Also you can play flash games on it and use PSP portals on it (don't need a connection to do so)

i use it when i go to USA for shopping, when in the mall want to tell something to some friend i log on to MSN and ask/say/whatever, since my Cellphone carrier doesn`t support in the USA i can use the internet of my PSP, with practice you can get fast with the input system, i`m pretty skilled with it.

 

For me it`s not a waste, also cool when you needed to Wiki`something but you are already in bed, and with 0 will to get up, just turn on your PSP, and wiki`whatever you want in the confort of your bed.

Im going to say no. It's a decent portable browser, that are you expecting? I use fairly often to check Gamefaqs, theme PSP, IGN, Wikipedia, Gamerankings, etc. when someone else is using the PC or my modem shuts off. If it supported flash and had the ability to cache from our Memory Sticks it would be perfect.

I got stuck in the middle of nowhere in France but I managed to find a WiFi signal somehow and emailed someone to come and find us XD No cellphone signal but WiFi. It isn't a waste at all.

i guess i shouldnt call it a waste, but its. . . i dont no what to call it. . . i can see it being used in some of those situations other people who commented use it in, but i guess when i wrote this i meant it for something to be used a lot, it seems handy at times. . . but not on a daily use

um, yeah, i remember back on the official PSP forums at playstation.com before 2.0 came out. hahahaha wow everyone was crazy. they thought a browser was sooo cool. i think there was an official post just so you could say "i'm typing this on my psp!", and then, we all got over it. nobody uses it anymore.

I have a wireless router!So ITS NOT a FREAKIN WASTE!!! Its sometimes kinda handy though.....Like doing a research for your homework and when you don't have a computer.

I only use my cpu for surfing the net cuz the psp only has flash player 6 and I can't watch youtube videos!

My computer is in the living room. I hang out in my bedroom where my PSP is...enough said. Sometimes I hear a song or see a show and want to look up information, but I don't feel like going into my living room waiting for my PC to wake up, then wait forever for the web pages to load (yes my computer is almost as slow as my PSP. :( ) Also my spanish teacher posts the homework online so I can switch from listening to music to the web browser, check my homework, decide to do it later, then return back to the music.

The browser isn't bad, the only thing I dont like about is your limited to certain websites and such because the PSP cannot handle some sites because they have too much content.  Otherwise it's cool.

what, this question is dumb, internet browser on a handheld gaming devise, I don't care if you use it or not it's pretty sweet to have, does your iPod (iGay) have and internet browser or your DS?  It's an added feature to something that can do it all.  And, don't say anything about your blackberry richies.

This is proof it's not a waste at all.

I'm about to hed to Europe, and had thought it was a slight waste untill now. I know I'll be in the same spot doing the same thing. the PSP still suprises me every day .... and to think there's actually threads out there saying the psp is dead. (don't comment on this people, we all know its not).

where can you go to try out the flash games? I've never tried one that worked yet.

I use it every day for lots of things so I find it very useful. It would be to much of a hassle to walk around at home with my laptop all the time so I use my PSP all around the house to stay online and check stuff, very practical. :)

No way is it a waste, I use it often everyday and I think it serves its purpose very well. It isnt as slow as people make out, yeah when there are large pages like Gamespot it does take a while longer but its not like dial up slow. Also, when you wanna download an mp3 in your bed etc and you cant be bothered going down to the computer, plugging in the usb etc you can just download it straight from the psp itself. Very handy! Its one of my most used features.
