Just for reference, basic IE9 on Windows 7 scores a 141/475 with 5 bonus points.
So the PS3 browser is pretty close to a normal PC browser now.
jeff_rigby lied, browsers died...
IE9 is the best IE but nowhere close to a decent browser. Chrome scores 373 + 13, Firefox is 332 + 9Just for reference, basic IE9 on Windows 7 scores a 141/475 with 5 bonus points.

Yay now I can watch Siglemic in bed.
Depends on how you look at it.
jeff_rigby "The PS3 browser will be updated."
TRUTH
Jeff_rigby "The PS3 browser will be updated with all new technology and webkit standards!"
um No.
Am I the only one who just sees this as another bizarre example of Sony's incompetency?
Yeah, so 5 years later they make the PS3 browser good. But with all the resources they dedicated to this, maybe they could have made trophies sync without having to manually do it. Maybe they could have added the ability to put start your save files from a USB drive, like you can on the 360. Maybe they could have allowed the ability to delete trophy listings for games you have 0 trophies for. Maybe they could have allowed the option to change your username like you can on the 360.
Instead they chose to make the web browser (which probably about 5% of PS3 owners actually use), better.
Bravo. :|
watching works, but chat never seems to load.Oh word - TwitchTV works now? Let me test out before BIG2 tomorrow.

Ratings in PSN can now be shared to Facebook. Was it available before this update?

Anyone have a direct link? This one's taking forever.
It seems like you're being rather harsh here, to label this as "incompetency".
Sure, it would be great if they improved all of those other features you mentioned. There are lots of other things about the PS3 that could be improved as well. At the same time, though, they've actually gone and made the browser reasonably usable now--which I'd say is a step in the right direction for sure.
I'm grateful for whatever improvements they want to offer.
So far, Crunchyroll works. Dunno if it did before. The browser identifies itself as being webkit, and I'm playing with an html5 sketch program and it works. Google docs refuses to try to run.
edit:
Apologies if old, but I checked the about section under system settings on the XMB. The browser now has it's own section, and it's webkit/cairo.
No, I really do not feel it's harsh to call it incompetent.
They're 5+ years into the PS3, and they still haven't implemented the features I just mentioned, when most of them were standard on the 360 from day one. Decisions like that literally cost them money. I know this because I personally choose to not buy games on my PS3 for some of those reasons I mentioned. It's not that hard for someone at Sony, who's actually in touch with their customers base, to know that the web browser should be very low on the priority list.
When the PS3 first launched the browser was somewhat useful, but today, when most people have a smart phone, or an iPad, or a netbook that sits next to them as they use their PS3, it's just silly. We're talking 5 years post launch. A fundamental thing like allowing you to start save files and load them from a USB drive should be a no brainer, and yet for Sony it's not. Making the web browser takes priority. Making the picture viewer better is a priority. The list goes on and on.

It seems better, but the website is still busted on 720p TVs, so it's hard to tell. :/Does Crackle still run like garbage?
Where? The site I usually check is only showing the February 2011 build.The source code is up already too.

They're using the same web browser as the Vita on the PS3. It's easier for them to maintain a single web browser between the two devices than two.
OKAY GAF, serious question, does Jeff Rigby work at Sony??? Lol wow. This should be on the op.AMAZING.So far, Crunchyroll works. Dunno if it did before. The browser identifies itself as being webkit, and I'm playing with an html5 sketch program and it works. Google docs refuses to try to run.

Sony publicly posted the source code for a webkit browser for the PS3 a year ago. There never was any mystery.OKAY GAF, serious question, does Jeff Rigby work at Sony??? Lol wow. This should be on the op.AMAZING.
