Okay, so we've already basically given you the lowdown on what to expect from the online service of your PlayStation 3. But apart from those already mentioned, such as the online shopping feature and web browsing, we have here additional tidbits that would get you more familiar with the PS3's online features.

First off, we're sure you're already aware that it will be powered by Linux, for you to enjoy the internet world to the hilt. So obviously, it allows you to browse through the net. But that, my friends, is just the tip of the iceberg. With individual user identities for browsing and online play, you'd simply have to select your profile, load up your personal preferences (bookmarks and individual friends lists included), and voila! Jumping from Google to wherever else becomes hassle-free.

Now, apart from that, you'd also be glad to know that text messaging is not the only thing your PS3 can do for you, in terms of actually communicating with your pals. With each PlayStation Network account, there's a unique ID that allows you to text message, AND even have voice and video chat with your friends. Although, the accessories for that would have to be bought separately. But what the hey... At least it's capable of giving that service, right?

So there you go. It really looks as if the PS3 is out to be the one-stop-shop for all your gaming and online needs. Let's just wait and see if it could actually deliver all these goodies.
