If i am not mistaken, the ps3 operating system is based off of linux, which also explains why it can run versions of linux. Anyway, it's a very secure operating system, linux, and it's not used by a ton of people so hence there are no real viruses from it, so no need to worry.

No viruses can only attack the OS it was written for thus normal PC viruses will have no effect on PS3. The day they write a special linux based virus dedicated to PS3 you're safe to surf pron all you want. Because lets face it thats the real reason you asked the question. Yes you can surf pron

You've got it all wrong sir. Just because you can surf online on the PS3 browser doesn't mean it upscales the internet and makes it HD. If you want HD pr0n then you're gonna have to write some angry letters to Sony and beg them to allow it on their blu-ray discs.

Or just step to the dark side and buy and HD-DVD player.

Its called downloading. Read about it. And before you say it, there are plenty of HD prons to be DL'ed off the internet.

Some even legally. :D

Haha good luck with that. The PS3 has a horrible browser that doesn't really let you do anything. Sometimes you can't even click on flash links, or view big pages because of lack of memory. And the video files the PS3 plays are kinda limited. It can't really play .avi's because of all the different codecs, and I'm not too sure it plays .wmv either.

But anyway HD pr0n + PS3 browser = highly unlikely.

I can see someone has researched this pron subjected well.

Well in the near future when FIRMWARE upgrades arrive and fix those problems:

ps3 + HD pron = Oh Yeah baby!
