PS3 to get enhanced flashplayer support?

In Leipzig the announcement was made that the PS3 would be able to use the vidzone.com music video service.
When you try to play that service from your PS3 now, it will ask you to download the latest flashplayer.
So either Vidzone will transfer to other technology, or PS3 will get enhanced flashplayer support, which would mean that other sites with flash-technology would be available to PS3 users as well.
Sony mentioned that a system-update would be necessary to be able to access vidzone.

The flash player on the PS3 is just pathetic, it's the most OVERLOOKED update on the system... Can't believe it's taken this long for SONY to finally update it...

trancefreak6506d ago

I agree its irritating kinda wish they had firefox for ps3 instead.

kamakazi6505d ago

calm down people thats what the updates are for. ;)

Tetsuryu6505d ago (Edited 6505d ago )

I believe it has to with Adobe not having a compatible version of its latest flash release for the PS3. System resources could be another factor. I'm surprised I still can't log onto my N4G account, yet my PSP can.

MikeGdaGod6505d ago

yes this is the one thing that's been constantly overlooked

f7897906505d ago

But yes I do know a few sites that I rather not mention that require flash 9 and flash 10.

let this be truee

nickfr6506d ago

I posted this thing.. if they want our PS3 to be able to play those videos, something has to happen, either the site technology changes, or the PS3 compatibility with Flash has to improve

actas1236505d ago

Site technology changes = No need for a system update.
and since it's confirmed that a system update is required, it simply means that the flashplayer will be updated.

whoelse6506d ago

I think this service will be a PS3 program. Theres nothing special about it if its just a webpage.

name6506d ago

I'm assuming quite a few of you want to watch pron. lol You can't access certain websites on the PS3, not even the resistance 2 sites :(

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle45d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde52d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy53d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga54d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199253d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga53d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman53d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger53d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box54d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion53d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7254d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7553d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit53d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14954d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7754d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
