Just wondering, I'm about to get a ps3 soon and one of the main reasons why I want a PS3 is because it can let me go on the internet right in the comfort of my on room.

You don't know the half of it. Everytime there is something wrong with the family computer it's all blamed on me cause I'm the one who is on the computer most of the time. All I want is to download whatever it is I want without the worries of slowing down the computer and having the whole family pissed off at me

It's good on my 65" TV cause I can read stuff really easily and you can browse Wallpaper for it and the save it with triangle button and then set it. But the bad thing is it's very limited because most things on the web are made for windows.

So is it possible that you can go anywhere on the web or are you limited to where you can go.

What exactly are you downloading anyway? you could just install a good firewall to protect from nasty viruses that loom around certain websites

Most of the music I know, I got it off from the torrent sites. And I think it's better to use the PC to download music.

I think it's safer If I can download music off of my ps3 than the PC.

I use my ps3 to browse the net all the time, especially gamespot. The only issues I have with it are Flash and the likes... =/ I can't watch anything that is using a flash player ; ; and you are limited to how much you can type in a window like I'm typing into now XD you get about.....well enough characters...but sometimes I pushed it to the limit and had to make a second part. If they updated it a little it would be perfect. As far as the speed, for the convienence of having it right there in my friends garage XD It's fast enough for me. I've been watching scrubs on youtube recently though XD so it's nice on an HDTV.

But i use the browser often because its much better to browse from a sofa than my pc desk..
