WHy Does PS3 Have Internet Support But Not360?

http://www.diggingtheweb.com/wiki/Ps3FW

And doesnt Wii allow some form of surfing the net? I thought MSoft vison was also a media hub like sony vison with the playstation brand.

with 2.50, i hear ppl now are wacthing youtube via PS3 rather then via a PC

We are at Firmware 3 now.

I wonder that too, I would think they would do Internet Explorer or somthing like that

Because MS vision for the user is too network a 360 with a windows based PC via Windows Media, so there really isn't a need to put a browser into the 360. You can also use this setup to utilize the PC hard drive for music files. Way more efficient then the PS3.

BTW MS Vision is the video camera setup...

Yea you guys can but it's not wireless, you also don't have the luxury of using any type of media file on your computer as well as 360 applications you can purchase. ALSO the 360 can be used as a DVR and TV tuner. Not to mention browsing on the PS3 is troublesome and not worth it we even have a media center browser we don't use it...

its wireless, it uses wi-fi, I use it all the time for streaming movies. I didn't know the 360 could be used as a DVR and TV tuner though, thats awesome. Yeah some files can't work or are not supported like wma's or mp4's, all mp3s and avis work fine though. Yes, browsing is not really worth the trouble but its good if you can't use your computer atm and want youtube on a larger display or on the go with the psp. Also 2.5 just added flash 7 I think so other sites with flash videos could be viewed on the browser.

Yes, also the psp with location free player, which I forgot about.

I have NEVER accessed the web browser on my PS3.

IMO its for little kids to browse Adult websites because their mom put restictions on their computer.

why does it have to be for that?

I remember having a mess around on the PS3 web browser, freaking out of memory errors.

Never use it for forum posts, you cannot copy/paste and memory only stores one page. If you get a connection error or accidentally click on anything; say goodbye to your post.

Sony and Nintendo made special licensing agreements with the internet to have it on their consoles. MS on the other hand didn't want to waste money on such an agreement, partly because of their poor relationship with the internet since it began to favour Firefox/Opera over IE.chutup

But seriously, I think its because MS is in this "Browser war" on the real internetz with google, opera, safari, Firefox etc etc.

plus Windows costs money, they want people to use windows

Uh... yes, they do. They are called ISP and they are owned by Rupert Murdoch.

'Fraid they do. All the website owners have to pay rent to them. Though Google is looking to purchase the internet off them once they have enough money.

OK.....if you use a program like TVersity to stream your content from your pc over to the PS3, you can watch all types of video formats, the PC will convert it on the fly while you watch movies...simple. And it's great to be able to watch youtube movies on the PS3 aswell. I didn't know you could'nt use the internet on the X360, that's weird. MS did'nt think the Internet was here to stay when they made the X360..hehe.

Meh. You'd think MS would be trying as hard as they can to revive IE.

But console browsers are near pointless for me.

I've used it to watch tv shows on streaming sites, turns your PS3 into a TV, I use a PC monitor, so that works out nice.

Why are you arguing with sarcasm/jokes?

And I was not joking when I said that MS was worried about viruses. They kept the console closed to the internet to make the platform as secure as they could, and I don't blame them for being paranoid, considering how much they are attacked in the cyber world.

surfing the internet on a pc is much better than doing it on the PS3.

So just install YDL presto. You have a new computer that does everything your normal computer does and is a lot cheaper.

Just gotta wait for RSX support.

...How did you know?!?

It is possible to get a browser on the xbox via a media extender, but yea.

Mainly because its pointless on consoles?Wasdie

are you god? because that post actually made sense.
