Power-up your PlayStation 3 and you’ll be greeted by a PSP-style start-up screen. All the icons are identical to those of its handheld counterpart, with movies (Hi-Def ones, of course), music and web options all available. But the PS3’s interface packs a couple of new additions.



First, is the ‘Users’ button which enables you to flick between profiles, suggesting that Sony is expecting each machine to be fought over by more than one member of the family. The other intriguing icon is a ‘Friends’ button. However, Sony wasn’t willing to give us any more info on how these systems will actually function at this early stage.

Another interesting snippet was confirmation that you’ll be able to use a keyboard and mouse with PS3, enabling you to easily browse the web on your telly.

I can't wait till this thing is released. It keeps sounding better and better! Especially with a sweet menu like the psp, I know it may be kind of lame how they might be just making it like the psp, but the convenience and how the things are organized is superb!

I bet the psp is HD and nobody told us!!!
wouldn't it be cool if the psp doubled as a monitor for the ps3 and any awesone new RPG could be played at ANY location!

yes, i'm a geek! thats why i'm a MOD!

One thing comes to mind. Firmware.

well, you could already hook those up to the ps2, you just couldn't browse the web...unless I'm mistaken

the interface for the ps3 looks really nice but the one thing i didn't see is that a long time ago i heard the ps3 was supposed to serve as a location free base station but did not see any info about it from the e3 news at all and i think sony removed this which is a bummer cuz i was looking forward to using it for my psp
