Youtube works awesome now
this is not the upgrade guys, it's just a patch to get the web browser functional enough for something Sony has planned.
Final Fantasy VII remake is next.
Ok, enough with the Jeff Rigby shit.
What are the stealth updates and what does it break?
holy shit what happened??
the browser is really updated? for real?
can i watch youtube properly..? gametrailers?
Javascript might be much faster, but the drawing operations are apparently done in software on the PPU (as predicted), because it's slow as hell scrolling around.And the new PS3 browser is now as fast (or should I say as slow) as IE8 in Sunspider javascript benchmark, so responsiveness should be much closer to the desktop experience after the update.
What is the link to that PS3 Youtube HD again? I cant find it on Google.
Thats the one indeed. Thanks! This should be the number one hit on Google when searching for PS3 Youtube HD, but for some reason it isnt.Do you mean http://www.ps3youtube.com/ ?

Can anybody try to run Futeremark's Peacekeeper browser test on the updated PS3?

Tested with FGTVLiveYay!!
148, 1/7 HTML5 tests (the sprite one worked). Lots of "codec not supported" messages popping up, which we knew already, webgl doesn't work, and it's slow as hell at drawing operations which I'm sure surprises no one that's used the new browser. There's probably not any kind of hardware drawing acceleration at this point.
It worked ok but there's alot of unsupported stuff.
Can you see this?-

You can call up the XMB while the browser is open.
so does this run the octoshape plug in now? In 2007, I was able to stream nba league pass on my ps3 using the browser. Then in 09, NBA switched up from flash to Octoshape and the PS3 cried. Never used the browser again.
Thats more an issue with the Flash Player than the actual browser, what i meant is that it doesnt freezes anymore.Does it? I couldn't get more than 240p when I tried it.

It looks like it's only using pixman not Cairo yet which would figure since WebGL isn't supported yet. If you zoom 100% you see the Pixman/Truetype2 (halftone AA) and with Cairo it should look nearly as good at full zoom.Yup, it's a webkit browser now. Keep in mind only the browser's been upgraded, the flash plugin hasn't really changed and is still on 9.0, I checked. So youtube in 240p only, etc.

Strange, number one hit for me when I searched it.
But everyone complaining about 240p YT should use http://www.ps3youtube.com/ instead of regular YT.
[...] Hint: Remember it's a .1 upgrade.

and that site is a ducttape solution thats bloated with ads, i don't want to go through 5 steps of instructions to get a single video to work in HD :/
Yeah its still a shame that youtube does not work properly as it only gives crappy 240p quality as an option. So really its no better than the horrible XL tube.

Just updated, but what's this I hear on other sites about it causing glitches in some games?
It must be my Internet, but I cannot get this update to finish downloading. Every time I try, it gets to about 18 percent and says there is an error. I've never had this problem before...
Well, looking forward to the improved browser whenever I can access it.
I only get youtube.net as a result on Google, but that is a completely different site :\Strange, number one hit for me when I searched it.

I had always hoped for in game browser support.. where you would get updated recipes/schematics/treasure hunts/etc from the web for information to be used in game.
Go to an in game terminal, bring up whatever site is related to the game, interact in chat rooms, bbs style even get your info or passcode left behind for you almost demon's souls like and bam, continue on your single player adventure.
Or linking Resistance.net to Resistance 3 via in game browser.
Ahhh to foolishly dream
Try resetting your controller, theres a small hole on the bottom where you can insert a pin to push a button.Update seems to have mess up my controller. >_<
Has anyone had any issues with the update?
My controller randomly activates XMB, D-pad right doesnt works now and left randomly works. left analogue stick works and doesnt work at times. Pressing both sticks might activate the XMB. Controller turns off and on.

WEBKIT
GSTREAMER
GNOME
He definitely deserves a tag for this.
The browser definately renders a lot of websites better now. There seems to be some refresh issue though if you scroll up and down. The previous browser crashed my ps3 frequently so i wonder if that issue is resolved too.
Such a pity we still can't select a better quality for youtube. I always hoped that one day i could stream movie or game trailers with youtube but the 240p resolution looks crap.
I wonder if maybe we will see more updates for the browser in the future. It took them a good while to do something about the browser but maybe the new browser (engine?) will allow for more frequent updates.
