That is great news. I would love to see Chrome on the PS3.

Best5472d ago

Or you could use your computer...

Blacktric5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

Yeah. Also, he can use his computer to play games and watch movies too. Who cares about PS3 getting even more awesome features right?

/s

Joni-Ice5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

@ Best and Kyl277....PS3 having a internet browser is convenient. Chrome on the PS3 will make the experience better.

EDIT: Unless you're a part of the Stealth Disagree Clan, Please explain why you disagree.

Peaceful_Jelly5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

I was told the same thing when I was complaining about the removal of the otherOS, "u can use the PC!"... Now u use the same logic and get tons of disagrees.

Oh the irony. Having BC, otherOS and card readers was convenient too but no one complained when they got removed. In fact, people were getting disagrees and being bubble-raped for complaining.

PS3/4 = Powerful gaming console, HD Blu Ray player, file manager (movies, music, pictures netflix etc.) Social network (PS Home) Online store (PS Store) and web browser (soon to be Google Chrome)

Overall a solid media center, fit to do anything you need it to in your living room or elsewhere.

People who don't need to manage any documents/use computer software don't even need a computer if they have a PS3.

Before I get called a troll, the 360 (and future gen Xbox) will be able to do most, if not all of that too.

Everything does everything nowadays, my toaster plays HD 1080p video and has Wifi. /s

Sony's cozy relationship with both Google and Valve can only mean great things for us PS3 owners. I wonder if they are planning to use Chrome on NGP.

jujubee885471d ago

I get the feeling it will be a Sony built browser with some Google chrome webkit parts.

This way both the NGP and PS3 can have these webkits and have acess to HTML5 and all the cool chrom widgets and other stuff that works on Google chrome.

rockleex5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

Millions more use the Web Browser than the 5 customers who actually used Other OS.

Not only that, you had the choice not to update and keep Other OS. And don't try to bring up the fact that institutions use Linux on PS3 to do research, because they obviously chose NOT to update.

Its not anyone else's fault that you realized Linux on the PS3 was not as important as all the other features you get by updating.

ZombieNinjaPanda5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

The irony in these posts.

Edit: @Rocklee

That's ignorant saying only 5 people used it.

duplissi5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

or maybe he just would like the ps3 browser to not suck..

edit: wtf!!! 2 bubbles!....

darkdoom30005471d ago

Well, I used to care about the browser. but after I got my laptop I didn't care. BUT now I care again, because I realised that I would be able to stream shows without the browser crashing. (don't have netflix or stuff like that here. :( )

Oner5471d ago (Edited 5471d ago )

So a feature that offers a better/enhanced experience for users to have more choice and ease of use (seeing how millions use Chrome) somehow is automatically "spin ANYTHING to make it look good for sony and the PS3"? Talk about a delusional excuse of which cannot be rationalized/reasoned to someone.

The difference is you are so blindly biased AGAINST anything specifically "Sony" that you cannot/will not understand nor want to use something that is adapted for better use because you specifically hate it that it's on a "Sony" device.

That is oh so mature of you. /sarcasm

NateCole5471d ago

You can't access PSN or play PS3 exclusives on the PC.

Options is important. Having the option to use Chrome on the PS3 to surf the net without having to boot up the PC is a great option for PS3 owners.

I know its weird but if the browser didnt freeze so much and they fixed the loading issues I would prefer browsing on ps3 over computer
and a winwar app to unrar or unzip files lol

AKA5471d ago

PS3 is my computer duhhhh.

AKA5471d ago

badz1495471d ago

err...ok? btw, when is the PSN going up again?

PELVIC THRUST ACTION5471d ago

You see, when you troll like this it's so blatantly stupid. I can troll too by saying something like Or I can use YOUR MOM. The difference between your troll is that it's shallow and pedantic. The difference with my troll is despite it being low brow and in many times, in poor taste. It comes off as refreshing and hilarious that I stooped down to your obviously inferior lower level and bested you with an even lower level showing that your idiocy is only bested by an obviously smarter person replicating your level of idiocy.

nix5471d ago

nothing beats the experience of browsing on a big HD tv while sitting lazily on the beanbag/sofa.

this is great news for people like me who don't have comp at home.

I adore google chrome. Its basic stripped down look would be perfect for the ps3.

I love Chrome on the PS3. I do hope that the NGp launches with a fully working Chrome browser.

TheDivine5471d ago

I would also but this is probably for their tablets and laptops. I dont see sony updating the web browser this late and under contract i assume. Im using the ps3 browser now, it works but is impossible without a keyboard, i hate typing w a controller

sony needs to fix psn instead of thinking about there super out dated internet browser

DoomeDx5472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

Super outdated? lmao do you even use google chrome?
I do, and its the fastest browser there is.
Maybe it feels outdated to you, because it doesnt have toolbars

Rybakov5472d ago

i do use chrome but thats on a real computer

when i had to use the playstation web browser at my friends before the crash i went to a website and it had articles from 2008 and my friend went to the same website on his laptop and it was current.....sooo super outdated is kinda correct

DrRichtofen5472d ago

@wes he's talking about the ps3's browser not chrome

Nitrowolf25472d ago (Edited 5472d ago )

@Rybakov

um lol wtf does that have anything to do with it being outdated???
The PS web browser still works, it has nothing to do with the crash. I don't understand how getting articles from 08 would mean it's outdated, in fact using the internet and getting old material really has nothing to do with the browser.
Old content doesn't mean outdated browser

Yes PS3 browser is outdated, but i would just like to point out that surfing the web would still be the same as any other browser.

@Wes

he is talking about PS3 web Browser

Joni-Ice5472d ago

@ Rybakov...A website having outdated info has nothing to do with the PS3 browser being outdated.

NiKK_4195472d ago

Are people really that dense? So you're telling me that you went to the same site on a PC and ps3 and the ps3 had articles from 2008 instead? Are you kidding me? Obviously it wasn't the same. He probably went to Google and typed something in, went to news, and maybe accidentally clicked "results from 3 years ago" or something, but I can't believe you actually think that having an old browser will only show old things on it. Are you sure you know how to use the internet?

Sevir045471d ago

"when i had to use the playstation web browser at my friends before the crash i went to a website and it had articles from 2008 and my friend went to the same website on his laptop and it was current.....sooo super outdated is kinda correct"

I'll have to file this post as the epic fail of the week! LMAO!

on topic: It's good to see Sony continuing to streamline and improved all the other avenues of experiences you can have on the PS3. a new browser would be awesome! because the flash support isn't that hot on the current PS3 browser!

fireplace5471d ago

Yes, it uses the old internet. 2009's websites are rumored to come after PSN return.

mastiffchild5471d ago

Oh Rybakov-you REALLY looked daft just there fella. You can't just assume things are one way when anyone with a PS3 will tell you they're another. I've seldom seen as complete a fail as that comment. Weak sauce indeed when some people will be using this browser which is supposedly down because of the "crash" and confused to be seeing your comment from today when it can only access stories from "2008".

The PS3 browser is weak, I agree, but Chrome would be a welcome step up in a service that has nothing to do whatsoever with the current PSN/SOE outages. At least look before slagging things off tag-lag. The browser deserves some stick just not the stick you fact free tirade gave it.

Agent_hitman5472d ago

CHROME on PS3 will be a plus.

King_many_layers5471d ago

it most certainly will be a plus.

A PS plus feature I'd imagine.

tdrules5472d ago

Oh wow not a single mention of Chrome in the job listing.
Dead Pixels you are a tabloid rag of the highest order.
"But WebKit powers Chrome"
It also powers a shitload of other browsers

MisterAV5472d ago

exactly, Webkit is the STANDARD embedded rendering engine. It's used on safari, chrome, S60 browser, new blackberry,...

mastiffchild5471d ago

Seriously(the page won't load for me for some reason)they have gone with this story with NO Chrome link AT ALL? Can games related writing get any worse?

We've had BS after BS article after hits off the back of the PSN issues ignoring the facts in an effort to bury Sony for MORE hits being undone by anyone who actually bothers to look into things a little and then we get pieces like this which show that good news articles are also strangers with Mr Truth. Sick of gaming sites and blogs right now. Rumour and supposition beating actual journalism, writing and investigation at every sodding turn ,it appears, while gamers just blithely swallow anything they get fed.

I've seen so many half truths and blatant lies repeated so many times they become accepted as gospel this week it's untrue itself! We need to start looking at things properly ourselves if we ever want a better gaming media as we're gettuing a crappy service right now because we just don''t check things out. True, we shouldn't HAVE to but while we'll believe anything why would they bother doing their jobs right either-when other sites get hits for crap? Not going to happen.

It's up to us to change this, not visit sites we know do it and support hose which do their job better. I can see this getting even worse if we don't start having a bit more about ourselves and, you know, actually being a bit of a community.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle2d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199210d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga9d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box10d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion9d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7210d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7510d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit10d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14910d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7710d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
