PS3 Online: How It Works

This how I imagine it works:

1. Pull pants down.
2. Apply lube.
3. ...
4. You're now online.

1. Give $$$$ to Sony
2. Play online for 5 minutes

It sounds fine, but nothing special really, just about what's expected. Not to sound like a Wii fanboy but Nintendo's online offering looks better. It also supports web browsing, has your own custom weather and news stuff, picture sharing, messege boards, and inexpensive retro downloads. And I'm sure it will be a lot easier to use with that controller since it's a lot like using a mouse.

Fixed.

Sony isn't gentle.

LMAO - I like how she pantomines the action of tossing the ball in the air for the serve.

Anyways, I read this eurogamer article already and it really didn't tell me HOW PS3 online works. It told me about some features that Sony would like to have for the PS3 but nothing about how it actually works and how well it works.

We already know that Sony plans on nickel and diming everybody at every opportunity though ($1 to download a demo).

The PS3 has a built in browser.

Legally it is, roms don't count I'd much rather pay a few bucks than mess around with an old system and carts.

 

[archcommus]

Sounds like a fine system but nothing my PC isn't already doing (or has been doing for five years).

its also being said they wont have ingame chat with the ps3 atleast at first.... to me the ps3 online will suck almost as bad as ps2 did compared to live.
