Quick Poll for PS3 users

[Robotic Pope]

I'm trying to determin the reason why there are many more people on this forum who play BoP on PS3 than there are people who are on xbox. I know it is not a question of numbers. There are not more BoP players on PS3.

I'm wondering if it is a browser issue in the xbox's lack of one? So if you PS3 guys could just answer this quick question: Do you use the PS3's internet browser to use this forum?

Xbox guys, please don't vote.

Thanks :)

I've used the PS3 browser exactly 1 time, and it is useless. I'm evenly split between PC and mobile.

Always. It gets the job done for me, but is still inferior to a normal browser.

I have never used the ps3 as a web browser. I really don't like having to use the gamepad to type. I know that you can connect a keyboard but that just seems redundant when I already have a laptop.

Sadly none of the above. I exclusively use an iPhone.

i do use my ps3 web browser for lovefilm, bbc iplayer and 4oD all services that use the browser to run from. I also watch newly aired tv series on my browser in hd, that being said when u check my emails or make online purchases i use my pc or will when i build a new one.
This however was posted from ps3

hello Robotic Pope,

i've tried to read the forum from the ps3 web browser but it make my ps3 stuck.
Also, it's a pain writing posts using the virtual ps3 keyboard.

Being behind a computer screen 8 hours a day gives me the possibility to read and post on the forum during the day, playing ( when i'm free ) at night on ps3.

Does sony/PS3 have dedicated forums?

For us 360 players microsoft have their oxn xbox forums with every game getting its own sub forum. IL2 has one over their.

Alot of newer guys on the 360 post their and are oblivious to this forum.

Ok thanks guys, so results are so far showing this is a non factor.

Ive never used a PS3 so I ask another question. Can you send someone the website address link in a PS3 message which is clickable and takes you to straight to this forum? Is this how you first found this forum, by someone telling you about it though a PS3 message?

Ive sometimes sent people the forum address in an xbox message but Ive never had anybody I sent it to join. Maybe this is because you can't really do anything with the address from an xbox message unless you have your PC or phone or pen and paper right there with you to copy the address. I don't know, maybe I'm just not a good advertiser lol

It would be a right laugh to get Panzergranate on here. I think he would have 500 posts within a week, half of them about the Brewster Buffalo ;)

Haha what a chuckle that would be!!

If the Luftwaffe were using the Brewster Buffalo during the battleof britain instead of the 109 then they would of surely changed the outcome of the war! hahaha.

That guy really does love the Buffalo!! All credit to him for it. He does bring a smile to my face sometimes. Especially when your flying together on sim and then you find yourself getting shot at but no enemies near by ;)

Hi Robotic Pope.........

Used PS3 Web Browser once or twice......but Blaaaa...to much fuss an nonsense....can type 20 times faster on keyboard on pc than I can on the Pad !. Full size You-Tube video's are kinda cool on the Tv but that's all its worth.

[JRHOODY1]

yeah i use ps3 all the time no way near what a pc can do it freeze most of the time?

[P-51]

I use the PC mainly..

However When I do use the PS3 browser off, to stop freezing you have to turn Javascript off.

Hit Triangle -> Down arrow to one named "JavaScript" -> Hit Cross -> Down arrow to "Off" option -> Hit Cross

To turn it back on, which I suggest as other sites won't work fully, then go to the last part and hit "On" instead.
