PS3 gains instant pizza-ordering functionality
We're finding it difficult to decide whether this piece of news indicates the beginning of a beautiful, shining era for humanity -- or whether it's an irrefutable sign of the swiftly approaching end of days. The PS3's internet browser home page now includes a "Papa John's" button, which allows esurient clickers to order hot, delicious pizza with a few quick taps of the DualShock 3's face buttons.
To put it in Console War terminology, the PS3 just discovered the atomic bomb. Unless the Xbox 360 learns how to give foot massages, or the Wii actually starts printing money, the unthinkable invention of PSPizza has ensured Sony's inexorable reign.

GoFickYourself69 @ Sep 16th 2009 2:36PM
I see what you did thar.
ToadStoolPorridge @ Sep 16th 2009 2:31PM
They still expect me to get off my couch and answer the door to get the pizza? Ridiculous!
Courtney @ Sep 16th 2009 3:39PM
Nonsense, they actually managed to fit a little pizza oven into the Slim's new design.
S. Tiger @ Sep 16th 2009 5:12PM
I'm still trying to find mine...
ToadStoolPorridge (PSN: tennispro_99) @ Sep 16th 2009 5:17PM
No, no, no. They didn't add it to the PS3 Slim. That's why they took out the camera for the new iPod Touch. Isn't there already a Pizza Hut app...?
Chillski @ Sep 17th 2009 12:17AM
I will wait untill to they can accutally deliver the pizza thro my bd drive...
hector88 @ Sep 16th 2009 2:31PM
Oh so now it can feed you too? Thats one step closer to doing EVERYTHING.
Mewchu @ Sep 16th 2009 2:42PM
Except playing PS2 games.
*ducks*
hector88 @ Sep 16th 2009 2:56PM
Well yeah, I did say it was one step closer.
Wonderflex @ Sep 16th 2009 7:12PM
Mine plays PS2 games. *polishes the chrome on his beloved 60GB PS3*
TheManick @ Sep 16th 2009 2:42PM
Now all they need to do is invent a way for it to come out slice-by-slice out of the blu-ray drive!
eNrique @ Sep 16th 2009 2:50PM
It only does everything.

dude who's legs and ass is that?? lol
RagingStormX @ Sep 16th 2009 4:27PM
I know right....
Streaming porn (semi officially), now ordering pizza..... All Sony needs to do now is have the PS3 bring you the morning paper with a hot cup of java. lol
mahouneko @ Sep 16th 2009 10:02PM
If you've seen the "desperate dad" ad for the PS3, the motto has a whole new meaning to it.
"It only does everything... including your wife."
Lol.
I love the guys who came up with these new ads.
jondastunna84 @ Sep 16th 2009 2:55PM
they should now concentrate on the obvious social networking site integrations myspace, facebook and that twitter bs
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 16th 2009 3:00PM
Nice...lol...but I'm not quitting a game to order a Pizza....lol...PapaJohns just needs an iPhone app...otherwise I will just use my PC as I have for years
Lars @ Sep 16th 2009 3:14PM
No credit huh? See if I send you news tips again!
JK, IDC.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 16th 2009 3:31PM
Umm they emailed that out to everyone that has their option set to receive email from them....you arent the only one to send it in which is why they didnt name names....calm down...
Lars @ Sep 16th 2009 4:58PM
I guess you don't know the meaning of "JK"... Let me spell it out: Just Kidding!
And usually with something like this they say "thanks to everyone who sent this in."
bluefrog @ Sep 16th 2009 3:14PM
Looks like Papa John paid Sony money for this placement. Afterall, you can order from a browser, can't you?
joe @ Sep 16th 2009 3:17PM
like u need more obese people in the U.S.
Chillski @ Sep 17th 2009 12:20AM
hey the way sony sees it the fatter u are the better chances of u playing video games...
Vidikron @ Sep 16th 2009 3:20PM
I got that email yesterday along with an email with a code to download the pilot episode of Vampire Diaries for free and an invite to the MAG beta. Sony has been busy recently.
Whoppy @ Sep 16th 2009 3:21PM
Pizza Express delivery in the UK please, then integration into the XMB so I can order my Pizza and Peroni without any new human contact.
Kenoji (aka Neo Asuma) @ Sep 16th 2009 3:22PM
Couldn't you do this with the web browser anyway? I would think that you would be able to order online to any pizza or other delivery chain with the browser.
Kenoji (aka Neo Asuma) @ Sep 16th 2009 3:24PM
Pizza Hut takes online orders, so maybe Papa John's is late to the party or something.
I don't know.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Sep 16th 2009 3:34PM
Actually Papa Johns was the first to Roll out their nationwide online order System...I have been ordering Pizzas online from them since 2004 or 2005 mostly because Dominos and Pizza Hut didnt offer it in my area at the time....as they had just started and only in larger cities
but yea you could do it from the browser b5...I havent checked it out yet but maybe its a SPECIAL site like the Youtube one
Luke @ Sep 16th 2009 3:44PM
You gotta love us couch patatoes
Enduros @ Sep 16th 2009 3:47PM
Wow. If this thing can tickle the johnson it would be the best invention EVER!!
Are you listening Sony?
Kombat @ Sep 16th 2009 3:56PM
DAYUM IT! Even tho this is dope.. it also sucks cuz theres no Papa Johns around my way.. closest one is in Westchester.. which is bout a 25 min ride from me..
They need to bulid one closer to my crib so i can take advantage of this new button..
Their Garlic Butter Dippin sauce is the TRUTH!
den-69 @ Sep 16th 2009 4:01PM
Perhaps this recognizes your ps3 with cookies, so it knows your address and stores your credit card details like the PSN, so you can have 1 click pizza ordering?
That's maybe what this 'instant pizza-ordering functionality' is about, because otherwise it's no different to any other pizza website.
S. Tiger @ Sep 16th 2009 5:15PM
Sony did the same thing with Everquest 2 I've heard...type in "/pizza" and you can order Pizza Hut.
If they can do it for Double Dave's in Texas, though...
inevercheckthis @ Sep 16th 2009 5:53PM
Damn Canada! Why can't you get good stuff like this....
lolpilipino @ Sep 16th 2009 6:18PM
It only does everything huh?
Rerelease Rez on the PS3 with the "trance vibrator." Only then will it have truly done "everything."
ProcrastinationXtravaganza @ Sep 16th 2009 8:02PM
I'm so down for this, I have Papa John's and PS3 parties all the time! PS3 FTW! (though multiplayer just works better on 360,..for now)
