Maybe they just don't see it as an investment at this time or just don't want to charge for it.
nah im pretty sure the bitching will shift to something else if it comes out, unless it comes out for PSN+ to be hosters.see5harp said:Nah, I'm pretty sure they just started off with a really bad product and have been scrambling since launch to get it where it needs to be. Private chat has been in the 360 featureset since launch and doesn't even require a Gold account.

Thank you so much for posting this. GAF has been tough to read on the iPhone since the site update. You've saved me hours of frustration.Lord Error said:Use this for PS3 GAF browsing, Iphone GAF browsing, PSP GAF browsing etc. Then thank CKohler.

It works great for sofa-GAF through PS3.
Also, lol to your avatars rant. Would you rather they give you some free avatars or the actual free online gaming that they do? I'd much rather have it so they make money off of extraneous stuff like PS+ or Avatars than what is practically a mandatory subscription.

see5harp said:On the PS3, yes, which is why no one uses it. I actually don't even bitch about the browser because I don't use it.

I think that they are in a catch 22 now concerning cross game chat. Making it Plus only will mean that they can never go back. People will buy plus for only that. And it'll always remain somewhat of an incomplete experience as long as others in your friendlist don't have plus.
Including it for free will please all gamers but I bet Sony will sees it as a lost opportunity to make money out of it.
were they in the original Xbox live?PjotrStroganov said:Almost all Live/dashboard features have been there since launch. Even party chat is only an evolution of something that has been part of the framework for a long time. Sony is indeed behind and is trying to catch up.

levious said:I was comparing it to xbox silver abilities... you mentioned private chat being available to non-Gold members...
yencid said:were they in the original Xbox live?
see5harp said:O sorry. Yea, the silver member would obviously be playing by himself
PjotrStroganov said:Cross game chat? Yes. Party chat. No.
Also, cross game invite, ability to join online matches via dashboard etc. The framework was very complete from the start. I bet very little change was needed since then, except for another frontend.

levious said:but wait, you can play a game(offline) and private chat at the same time? Pretty sure you can't do that on PSN, the video chat is a dedicated screen last time I looked. I guess PSN has text messaging over Silver though. I really hate +...
yes i meant the big black box xbox.PjotrStroganov said:Cross game chat? Yes. Party chat. No.

Its a good idea, it just needs to be done right and have enough ram to cover it. Get Opera to make you a browser next time Sony. You'd probably save money and you'd come out with something awesome.acm2000 said:browser on a console is just retarded, period, and AFAIK, the ps3 browser only has access to 256MB ram

Cday said:Really? Because Youtube runs at about 3fps on my Wii.
because they would have to optimize it to use it. the people bitching about it are a vocal minority.Truespeed said:No it's not. With a good bluetooth keyboard it's actually usuable and not a bad way to consume content on your big screen. As for 256MB of RAM - I don't see why it couldn't use the RSX memory or the virtual memory for that matter.

Didn't Nintendo do that? How was the Wii browser?
NinjaFusion said:STFU and get an xbox?
Did your friend use the same story you did? Hopefully I can convince them, after all I'm the only one who has access to the one and only email address used for that account, and the original console's serial number.Arsenic said:I've gotten all my slots freed. I told them about my "past mistakes" and wanted to feel comfortable purchasing Plus and future games. I had to go through some higher ups and after 40 mins i've gotten all my slots freed. It didnt work out so well for my friend though, but he did get one slot freed

TheBrain76 said:I tried this. I can go to individual threads, but when I click the gaming tab it goes to a wall of crap text.
Of course if you can't get GAF up the normal way, use that tip someone posted about googling. But to emlinate (at least I've not had this problem so far when using it) the wall of text that comes up a lot, if there's any topic you want to read, hold the X button down over the link to open it in a new window. Voila!
Still more of a pain but at at least Gaf can still function on the PS3 browser.
shidoshi said:You mocked somebody for caring about unique avatars on the PS3, going so far as to say he wasn't mentally sane due to his caring about such, or asking if such things made him "feel like somebody."
