IM thinking of buying a ps3 and im also going to be without a PC for a fe months because of it lol,I wanted to know if the Browser is able to show all websites and still let me use my old accounts from the pc of those sites in the browser?

IM in 2 minds to buy a new PC or a PS3 and the only thing IM unsure about is the browser and what it cant do that a pc can.

TIA.

Thanks for letting me know. Can you also save things from the web onto the PS3 HDD? like those short crazy movies and youtube stuff etc etc.

Nope.  There is no way it would void your warranty.  In fact Sony provides you with the files to install another operating system.  The whole process is pretty painless.  I just followed an online guide.  But it does take about an hour and a half to do.
