Anyone Use The PS3 Built in web browser Or F@H

I was wondering if anyone uses the Ps3 web browser i know i use it just because somebody is using the main computer or i want to show everybody in the house something but i was wondering how many people actually make use of it.

and anybody use Folding @ home i would use it but im unsure on how many MB per hour it use i dont want to run over my monthly quota of 12 gig if anybody could tell me how much download /upload it use i would apreciate it very much.

I only use F@H once, but I use the built in web browser everyday. LuckyLy

I like to watch Youtube on my 42 inch plasma lol they pixelate a crap load though

I don't use the PS3's browser at all- the thing is too limited to use on some sites due to using lowe versions of some extensions like flash.

The folding, though, I have it going whenever I'm not gaming on there. The only time folding uses bandwidth is when uploading/ downloading work units. Those files are pretty small so you shouldn't have any worries about exceeding your cap from it.

I agree.I like watching game walkthroughs or trailers on youtube.I've had so much fun watching the condemned walkthroughs on 2:00 am and it was like a watching a movie.

I was a F@H whore. Not anymore.

And I don't use the browser that much

I'm using my PS3 to its fullest.

If you don't download porn from the PS3's web browser, your PS3's power is highly untapped.

Lol after making this thread last night i went and watched porn on it lol.

Dont get a usb keyboard get a Bluetooth or usb wireless i wish i did after a while the cord gets in the way. Also you'll want a mouse as well because otherwise you are constantly switching back and forth from control to keyboard.

I'm using the PS3 browser to leave this msg! LOLShacks210

Thats Awesome ,LOL

I hardly use the Web Browser because my PC is just a few feet away :P Along with my PSP haha.

I do use Folding@Home though. My PS3 is hardly ever turned off, and I didn't get my PS3 very long ago, in January I believe, and I already have almost 50 Units. [Each Unit takes about 6 hours I believe] Almost 300 hours of my PS3 NOT gaming! Ahhhh! The life of a PC, Console, Handheld gamer haha. :twisted:

The files are extremely small though, should pose almost no threat to your bandwidth limit.

I use the browser to watch youtube.

As for folding, I used to do it alot, but stopped after I seen the bill jk

I find that I don't use the built in Browser in the PS3 very often. Sometimes it's a bit of a novelty, but for the most part the software has limitations that make it worth while to surf the net somewhere else. A lot of the features that are built into heavy websites will fill the PS3's memory rather quickly, as well as the fact that the browser seems very slow compared to PC computing. Unless it's the most basic of websites, it's usually quicker to just open up the laptop and browse from there.

I use folding@home occassionally, but not enough to notice a blip on my internet service. I imagine that folding@home will get used even less when some of the up and coming PS3 titles are released in the coming months.

I have been F@H for some time now and usually if I don't touch the system for 24 hours it can finish 3 or 4 units in that time period but I have gotten some that took around 14 hours because of the size of the work unit. They all vary in size because I have seen some as small as about 150,000 bytes and up to 1,200,00 bytes of data to fold. The size of the files makes a difference in how long it takes to complete, and the file sizes are not some thing that you can choose because there given out at random.
