These days even console are not safe from malicious websites. That's why, Trend Micro has announced a new total Web security service for the Playstation 3. In addition, there would be free "Trend Micro Web Security for PS3TM" to be provided as the first service built for a gaming system to block malicious Web sites using URL filtering combined with Web reputation.
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.
then id expect to have problems.
the ps3 web browser is handy for check things out quickly, but i wouldnt use it for much else, the web belongs to the PC.
I thought that the only way to run code that is not signed by Sony on the PS3 is by installing other OS (cfr. Linux), and even then there are some limitations (no 3d acceleration...). Are all the viruses, worms, dialers, spywar etc. getting approved by Sony or something? I am not sure, but I think that the PS3 is the safest system on the net. Until the hackers find the way to run unsigned code, but it would be more probably used for piracy than to spread viruses.
It would be funny anyway to find out that virus makers find the security hole in the ps3 before the "backup" community :D
Many of the reasons browsers get updated today are due to security flaws. Whichever browser the PS3 browser is based on will have the same issues. Just because it is on the PS3 doesn't mean code can't run on it. The PS3 has Java, scripts, and we know the processor/environment (PPC, Unix).
Will I get some anti-virus protection for my PS3? Nahh, I'll rely on my firewall and the obscurity of the browser for now. There are easier targets than my PS3.
Who actually uses the PS3 web browser? I know I don't so I don't need virus protection.
