Just a quick note for the people worried about the power consumption: 200W sounds like a lot, but it’s nothing compared to what your car is consuming.

One gallon of gasoline is 39kW/h (on a perfect engine, and no car engine is even close to perfect). Every time your car guzzles down one gallon, it’s equivalent to 195 hours (almost two hundred hours, more than 8 continuous days) of PS3 folding… so if you wanna be a good earth citizen, fold@home and use the car that little bit less.

When I changed my name from “PS3″ I lost about five work units. But now I have a better idea of my real contribution. I had to raise my PS3 with some Lego blocks and put a small fan on it to keep it from overheating. Once I did this, it’s run for days wiihout stop.

Giacecco a PS3 for 6 days a week for 12 hours per day is about $65 a year of energy cost…

so not going to make a single impact on anyones environment anytime soon.

@seedaripper

This isn’t really the forum for such questions. Google for the UK PlayStation forums, or check the forums at any of the numerous console gaming websites.

However, yes you can access normal websites from the WWW browser on the PS3. Try pressing Start and typing in the URL using the on-screen keyboard.

As for the PSP, it’s tricky. Just keep trying different things and it might work - I can’t even remember how I got it to work. You have to plug the PSP in by USB first, and set the PSP to ‘USB Mode’. Then you can set up the Remote Play Connection. After that, you need to set the PS3 into Remote Play Mode, then go to Remote Play on the PSP and select the new WiFi connection that was created for the PS3 (has an odd name).

Good luck!

Can we, as a community of a long standing industry at least sit down, see a piece of news, and agree on what the hell reality is.

If you can somehow find something wrong with a venture as helpful, selfless, and down right good as this, then pick up the phone and call your closest asylum. They’ve a padded room for you. That type of sadism HAS to be linked to insanity.
