Are game system web surfers an untapped market?

I use my PS3 with a keysonic wireless keyboard to catch up on Gamespot and the Old Age Playstationers forums. Very nice on an HD screen. The lack of Java support has annoyed me slightly but then if I really need to do some serious surfing then I'll use the PC.

Well they were talking about websurfing from consoles when they originally released the Saturn and Sky offered e-mail via your TV remote which died a death as it was slow and TV remotes aren't keyboards.

Things seem to be moving a lot faster in the direction of getting your PC on to the TV.

With games getting easier and cheaper to download and your PC easier and cheaper to upgrade I don't think consoles are going to be making a big impact.

Especially since one of the big players is Microsoft and the X-Box is pretty much a PC anyway.

Take the thing apart and flush the Bios and you've got yourself a spare hard-drive if you've got 360 now. :thumbup: Screwdriver madness for the win.
