PS3 Browser Capabilities


I am trying to find out what the PS3 web browser is like in terms of CSS, JS, Flash, etc.

I found some articles saying it is pretty bad, but these are several years old and the PS3 software is frequently updated so I can't trust things like this.

Can anyone point me at official specs or a recent analysis? Your own test results are welcome but please state how recent they are.


Solution

  • The latest specs I could find showed the PS3 getting an ACID3 score of 27 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3) and a similar Wikipedia page details the capabilities of the NetFront engine, which is used by the PS3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetFront. These results are from a January 2011 release, but the release notes for subsequent updates don't show any modifications to it.

    There are also a few questions on here which can give you a pointer to potential issues such as: Javascript not working on PS3 Browser.
