What to expect from PS3

If you weren't one of the lucky few to score a PS3 on the first day, here's what you can look forward to

Using the PS3's built-in browser is also free, although it ran really slow for us, and we got a little sick of it constantly asking us for permission every time it loaded a page that used Flash (read: every page of GamesRadar). Also, if you've ever used a TV-based Web browser before, the chunky text and slightly jaggy images will look familiar to you, although it'll look a lot better if your TV can actually handle 1080p resolution.

Still, it does pack in some cool features for a console-based browser, not the least of which is its ability to play Flash video (meaning you'll be able to load up YouTube or any other Flash-based site on your TV) and display six separate browser windows at once. Also, the ability to attach a USB keyboard and mouse makes navigation quick and painless.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
