I still don't understand why it needs a browser - or all that second rate media center software, actually.

That's sweet. Parents just got a PS3 for their 46" TV and I wanted to beable to browse the web from that. The old browser sucked pretty hard. This one looks great.

Oh and to all you naysayers...

I want Google TV on my PS3. At least there we will have Chrome.

It's a new homepage, not a new browser, unfortunately.

But can it play all the formats that it couldn't before? will all pages load correctly unlike before? Have they actually revamped the browser or just the playstation portal? cause it seems like they updated the playstation portal not the browser it self.

haven't used the web browser in quite sometime. It would be much better if they could somehow incorporate in-game web browsing.

Both MS and Sony want their consoles to be like a PC.

I'd be quite fine with the ps3 only playing blurays and games. I just don't see the point of all the crap they bloat the consoles with.

Take Facebook for example... If I ever wanted to promote myself for no reason, I'd do it on the PC.

I can agree that the browser is pretty rubbish, but it works for the simple stuff. The media center software however is pretty good. I have used it since I bought the PS3, I use it everyday for streaming all types of movie formats from my PC, and it does that alot better than most BD players even though those support more formats. But that does not matter as long as the PC converts the formats on the fly:). The PS3 is also alot faster in the menu with the Bluetooth controller compared to the rubbish infrared and slow menu's on BD players or other Media centers:). Why can't consoles have these type of features? If you buy a PS3, and you don't have to have a media center or a PC in the living room, it helps.

Sony did update the version of Flash in a earlier update in fall I believe. I don't use the browser so I can't tell at all though.

well the 360 gives you less options and charges you for the important ones. Like free online gaming.

Did they actually update the overall functionality of the browser or just the look? I enjoy using it from time to time when I'm lying in my bed at night and I'm too lazy to get up, or when my brother is using the comp.
