if someone realy wanted to they could but seeing as there is no real point in doing so they wouldnt bother. also they have to contend with an entire core of its CPU as one of its cores is dedicated to security and OS.

Any computer device can get a virus...even iPods! but again there is no point as for the PS3 to get a virus it has to be specialy made for the PS3 so technicaly gaming consoles are the safest web browsers as they are not affected by spyware or viruses
