By all means, the PS3 isn’t perfect and Teck.co.uk has gathered a list to make the PS3’s imperfections better.

1) Make free video phone calls
“You will need a USB headset and an EyeToy camera. Plug in both via USB then go to your Friends menu. Choose a friend you’ve signed up earlier and press Triangle. Choose Start New Chat and type a message. Something like ‘Videochat?’ should do the trick. Now, providing they’re in front of their powered-up PS3 then they’ll see your message and be given the option to accept your videochat.”

2) Browse multiple Internet windows
“Open the browser (go to Network) and surf to a page you want. Now open up the menu with a press of Triangle and choose ‘Open In New Window’. Enter another URL and then do the same again. Keep going until you’ve got six windows open. Now press L3 (done by clicking down the left stick). You’re now in multi-page mode. Move the left stick to flick through the web pages as though they were bits of paper, then click L3 again to zoom in.”

3) Share your bought downloads
“You can download anything you’ve bought from the store to five PlayStation 3’s. This is useful if you’ve got more than one PS3 and also if you’ve wiped your hard-drive and don’t fancy paying for the same download twice…

However, you can also choose to share your download with your mates. The PlayStation Store logs how many times each download has been downloaded by each user. On your mate’s PS3 Create New User and log onto the store with your ID. You’ll now be able to go to your download and see that you’ve already downloaded whatever it was that you paid for. You can now download it again, using another of your downloads and giving it to your mate for free. Or a small optional charge…”
