MGS4 Voice Tip
MGS4 Has a Nice Cooking Tip

An interesting part of the Metal Gear Solid 4 was Sunny always trying to make eggs for everybody. Naomi entered the picture and she gave Sunny a good cooking tip...using a lid for one minute. So, I tried it this morning. Heated up some butter in a skillet on medium heat. Cracked open and dropped two eggs in. Covered them and set the timer for one minute. And the eggs came out alright as sunny side up. I usually make my scrambled. So, this was a pleasant surprise. Try it.

Getting to the Playstation.Blog from your PS3 Browser
Last month, I was sitting at Best Buy playing with a wireless keyboard on the Playstation 3 and decided to do a little web searching. I was shocked to see the web open open to the Playstation 3 with a Blog as an option. So, I went home thinking there was an update or something. I use Google as my opening home page. And I looked around and it seems they did away with the old Playstation 3 web page that they use to show up. I found the blog and other cool information under the Bookmarks section of the PS3 Browser.
So, here's how...
1. Press Green Triangle Button
2. Go down to Bookmarks and push “X”
3. Under Bookmarks you will See Playstation 3 and push “X”
And here is where you can get some information about new games, news, and the Playstation.Blog. It's nice getting information from the source rather than the rumor mill out there.
Basics of Using Your PS3 Web Browser
When you open your browser for the first time, it's like ok, how do I use this. One of my friends open this and said he had no idea how to use the browser.
1. The trick is to push the green triangle button. By doing this, you open a side menu with plenty of options for you to check out. Use your direction pad or left stick to move around...using "X" to select and "O" to back out.
2. Go down to the one marked "File"
3. Then "Address Entry" then type in web site address and push "Start." And off you go.
***Shortcut*** is just push "Start" if you just want to want to go directly into address entry.
Use your right stick to move your pointer and "X" to anything you would want to enter. Type in your information and pust "Start"
-This browser has a few powerful features and the PS3 game controller buttons have a lot of options to make web searching fast. Plug in a usb keyboard if you want to type in something fast.
I know a lot of people throw away their manuals or it's packed away somewhere.
Below is a link that will take you the manual for the playstation 3 about using your browser.
