Well, ive been gracing this site with my presence for almost a year now, 99.9% of the time with my PS3, I like to sit in my room at 5am with nothing else to do but read various posts. However, within the last 5 or 6 days, within 2 minutes of being on this site, my PS3 ‘bricks’ and I am forced to hard reset the Playstation! Then just thinking it was a firmware problem, I came downstairs to my PC and get on, and it froze my PC twice, just today! Am i just having bad luck, or is there something more sinister at work here? Hmmmmm ---

The SDMB never freezes for me- maybe it’s you, or your connection? ---

No idea what the answer to your question might be, so I’ll move it to ATMB where it might get one. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator ---

I didn’t know that anybody actually uses that PS3 browser. ---

With a USB keyboard it would be tolerable. ---

It is a pretty crappy browser, but at least it supports Flash, unlike the iPod/Touch/Pad. On a HDTV with 1024x768 resolution I’m pretty happy watching web video on my PS3 occasionally. ---

Now I want to go home and try it. Or maybe I just want to go home. ---

Sounds like you might be having some issues on your end. The fact that you are having problems with more than one device in your house – especially when nothing has happened here that would affect your situation, as I believe is the case, as we have had no upgrades or anything similar – tends to make me think something is amiss at your connection. Please look at your devices, check your settings, and try again. Sorry to hear you’ve had troubles.
