Sony's been throwing a PS3 fest here in New York and along with Gawker's video guru, Richard Blakeley, gave us a first hand look at the PS3's web browser interface. Typing URLs with the controller is somewhat clunky as you can see from the video itself, but it'll let you open up to 6 different browser windows simultaneously and then tile them so you can see them all at once. Our compatriots at Kotaku also shot some videos of the PS3's picture and movie browser, the latter which displays animated thumbnails of each clip you have stored on the PS3.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
It's cool how the controller works with the web browser, but I can only see myself using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use this.
What i really want is for the ps3 to be able to view youtube videos online.
That browser actually looks really sweet. Hopefully I'll be able to load Firefox on the Linux portion of the hard drive as I'll probably use that if I'll be on there for an extended amount of time. Also, hopefully they'll enable bluetooth keyboard and mouse as I really don't want to be sitting within a few feet of my HDTV, just not good for the eyes. Last of all, I want that Bravia...
I'm really wondering now what safety features are implemented in their web browser. I don't see or hear anything about parental control. Will you be able to access ANY website-like the PC? If so, that's not good. Viruses, pop-ups, child predators, porn...oh my!
It's a cool feature though, but seems a little outdated cause there's no tabbed browsing.
Umm... tabbed browsing and tile switching = same difference.
Youtube? Umm... its a WEB Browser.
Yeah Blade the PS3 OS is locked so you can't install anything on it - I'm sure it'll support many media formats so you wont have to install anything for the web browsing aspect.
As for installing programs games, get the linux yellow dog, (I'm sure a User's edition will be out in a few months) so you can install games and whatever you want.
