How to Delete the History in a PS3

The Sony PlayStation 3 is a popular game console thanks in part to its versatility. You can use a PS3 to watch Blu-ray movies or to connect to the Internet. If you want to delete your browsing history from the web browser, you can do so.
There are a few reasons why you may want to delete the history. For example, if you want to do online shopping for a loved one who also uses the PS3, not deleting the history could ruin the surprise.
Likewise, if a person were to borrow the PS3, he could find and access user names and passwords stored on it if you hadn't cleared the history.
