How to get to Bing and/or Google on the PSO browser

[sega dude]

I figured out how to get to Bing and Google in the Phantasy Star Online v1 website web browser. There may be a similar way yo do this on other games that have a website option, but Phantasy Star Online v1 is currently the only game I own that has a website option. I know this is pretty much useless, but I wanted to share this trick here.

1. Start PSO and go to the website option.
2. Exit the memory card screen.
3. Press the L trigger and go to connect. Connect as you normally would.
4. Once connected, click the option for the sonic team website.
5. Once the page loads, scroll down and click on the Xbox 360 link.
6. Click the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 picture.
7. Once the page loads, scroll down and click the Xbox live arcade picture.
8. Wait for the Xbox site to load. This may take awhile, longer than the other pages. After it gets to 100% (possibly sooner), you can cancel the load by pressing the R trigger and going to cancel. The page should come up after that.
9. Once the page loads, scroll down until you see a Bing link. Click it.
10. Once the page loads, click "Switch to Bing in English!".
11. From here, you can just use Bing to search for the site you want to go to, or use Bing to search for Google to get to Google.

I managed to get to a user agent site, and the PSO website web browser is Dreamkey 1.0. Kinda of strange for a North American game on a North American console. Why wouldn't they use Planetweb?

You can press and hold A then press Start 10 times, then press X+A on the bottom bar of the screen to bring up the URL bar
