Order Papa John's directly through your PS3 browser photo

Look, I am not even going to pretend to be healthy here -- Papa John's (unless eaten in very small quantities) is not good for you. At all. However, it is totally freaking delicious, and I love ordering it. Soon, I'm going to love ordering it even more -- because I can do so without even picking up the phone. I can order it directly through my PS3 browser using a dedicated Papa John's button. Can you believe that sh*t? I had to go run and try it out.

In fact, I didn't happen to be playing PS3 when I got this information, but I'll tell you what I did do is order a pizza immediately before starting to write this. Because I started to actually salivate at my desk. However, the bad news here is that I ordered it on the phone because using the service was kind of a pain. Here's how it works: if the PS3 browser is still set to its defaut homepage and you haven't changed anything, the button is there (as you can see above). After you click it, it merely opens the Papa John's homepage for you. You could have picked up your phone and made it easier on yourself. Oh well.

I'm sure this new feature will only serve to make gamers fatter and lazier than ever, but I still wish it worked the way I imagined it in my mind: click the button, my card gets auto-charged and my pizza arrives flawlessly. Maybe next year!

Hahaha f*ckin awesome. Now I don't gotta log into my PC or PS3 web-browser(Or call a number, cause that would just be lame) to order me a pizza.

I'm actually serious. I'm excited. Sorry if what I said sounded sarcastic...

I'm pretty sure PS3 sales have rocketed 20 cajillion percent because of this epic breakthrough.

Agree with Magesx, but a good pizza place isn't a chain store. Anyone remember /pizza from EverQuest? Same deal, it just opened a browser for Pizza Hut's ordering page.

I have Dominos bookmarked on my PS3. It's perfect for ordering food during that "few minutes before you pop in a blu-ray movie". Sony made a self-contained dinner and a movie device.

Oh God I fucking hate Papa John. Most guidos have a way to high of an opinion about themselves, but PJ just takes it to a whole 'nother level.

Also, fuck your frozen pizzas.

I have two problems with this. 1 is there are no Papa John's near me and 2 is I don't have a ps3. I'm probably getting a ps3 soon but it won't matter because I won't be able to take advantage of this.

I sure as fuck wise I had a pappa Johns here where I live, in the great white north in the middle of a snow covered forest in a little log cabin that's not made out of lincoln longs but real logs of pin. And smoke coming out from my stone made chimney. Yes miraculously I have an internet connection but that's only because I have a satellite receiver strapped to the head of the black bear which is located hugging the top of the tree beside my house.

How to order a Papa Johns pizza before this:

1) Open up your PS3 browser
2) Go to Papa Johns.com
3) Click order

The power of the PS3!

Also, Rey, if you see this:

This is what Papa Johns do to you. Makes you drink beer from the floor.

WHY NOT A PAPA JOHN'S APP?

I don't even think there's a Papa John in my County. Maybe the next one is like an hour or two away.

I worked at a Papa Johns location for about 8 months. Worst job i ever had. sure i learned how to slap out an awesome pizza crust but the fact that the owner started juicing cash out of the employees paychecks to make up for our new trainees wasting product in the last 2 months i worked there sent me over the edge. And there are quite a few other things i could say that would easily deter you from ever eating there again.

Well, I currently work for Papa Johns and it's not bad. I guess it depends on location of the pizza place and the people you're working with. Been working with them for more than a year now.

I would continue to stay there but I don't want to be a manager (due to the bullcrap they have to put up with) and it doesn't pay well. Oh well. I can make a good pizza though. :D

You know you can put www.any-other-pizza-store-that-does-online-ordering-and-delivers-to-your-area.com into your PS3's BROWSER anyway?

That's right, that strange thing that is kind of expected on a modern internet enabled machine, a browser....

or you could just use a phone or a computer and save yourself the effort of booting up a ps3.

The PS3 boots faster than most people's PC's. Call in and get put on hold.

If you're up to it, I want to give you a challenge. I know you have the ability to do it, and you've shown your strengths in this field thus far.

I want you to troll every article with a pro-ps3 / not-so-veiled anti-360 comment. Not many people would be able to twist things like that, but you were able to turn a completely benign article like this into "lol failbox."

I have faith in you. Troll away, boy.

Hahaha, I have also ordered domino's through my PS3 more than I'd like to admit. Lazy? Probably.

But why waste time finding the closest dominos and then calling them only to sit on the phone all damn day with the pizza dude trying to fill out your order when you can have predictive text complete all the blanks?

Worst thing about the predictive text, having to erase it or turn it off before you let anyone else use your browser.

You can really get to know alot about someone with PS3 predictive text.

@ EX35

Yeah our managers we're put through hell when the owner showed up. All the Papa Johns stores owned by this guy are shit holes.

Although i suppose not every location around the nation is as bad as the one i worked at.

I can still slap a 10 and i do so on a regular basis. It's the only skill i got from that job that i cherish.
