Fantastic news. Sony never list the complete set of features/enhancements on their blog. I believe this is something a lot of people have been waiting for.

SL1M DADDY6424d ago

Having a web browser without flash support is "ok", not great but this makes the browser on the PS3 fantastic. Too many flash based sites to ignor this so you can bet your bottom dollar that I am a happy camper for this little added bonus.

ReBurn6424d ago

I've been waiting for Flash to be updated in the PS3 browser. This is going to open up so much more web content. I don't use the PS3 browser for every day web surfing, but there are some sites that I want to view on my TV. If Flash is really updated then now I can.

LoVeRSaMa6424d ago

I know many people have been waiting for this update/feature, me being one of them =D

Gz Sony ^_^

Sharingan_no_Kakashi6424d ago

Final_Rpg6424d ago

YES, finally! pr0n on the PS3! lmao jk jkkjkjkjkjkjkjk.

But seriously, fapping is to be had. Don't try and act all mature N4G users, you know that you're going to.

Mr_Bun6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

I can't think of any PS3 users that wouldn't be happy about this news...Yet all throughout this comment section, there are a ton of disagrees...jealous fanboys?

shelbygt336424d ago

Now I hope Hulu.com works :) :) :)

Woot!

myothercar6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

Don't worry Mr Bun- I just slammed the Agree button.

lol @ there being exactly 4 disagrees for each of the first replies. Probably from the same 4 jealous people.

himdeel6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

...just reading you say you slammed the agree button made me giggle :)

Algonath6424d ago

DNAgent6424d ago

I'm gonna beat off like there's no tomorrow!

Mr_Bun6424d ago

Good thing that your friend list doesn't show which website you are on!

Ashton6424d ago

is this for real?

if so it would be awesome to browse flash sites on the PS3.

shine13966424d ago

I think so... its eurogamer not some random site...but you never know for sure till you get it in your own hands.

Will finally be able to watch iplayer without the special iplayer site some user made. (thanks a lot, whoever that was. awesome fix btw). the only problem then was that you didn't get the best reslution as you were using flash 7 I think....this is should be xxxtimes better.

smeg0rz6424d ago

This also means sites like gametrailers.com will be working!

faster19746424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

They've printed the press release that confirms this on the "semi-offical" European blog threespeech ( http://threespeech.com/blog... so I'm confident this is true.

Sashby1236424d ago

Yes...now sites with video will work properly..maybe gametrailers.com...some can dream...update list is welcome its just that i will have to exit the Littlebigplanet beta (if i do won't work because its expired). Still have the PS3 running, hehe, until release day!!!

VP of Troll Corp6424d ago

Yes I've been wanting to watch flash 9 videos on my PS3 for a while!

IGN requires Flash 9 just to access the area where you can successfully select "Download"! As of right now, no matter how many times you press "Download" nothing happens!

Hooray for PS3 Firmware!

mikeslemonade6424d ago

Cool now I can troll on my PS3.

Tetsuryu6424d ago (Edited 6424d ago )

lol that's a matter of javascript if you're referring to this site. ;)

MvmntInGrn6424d ago

Thats really awesome, really makes the browser fully functional.

soul899er6424d ago

Hell YEAH!!! xD We've all been waiting for this! i wont need the stupid computer for anything! i can watch and stream trailers! xD

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.

solideagle18d 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

Relientk7718d ago

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.

DarXyde25d 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.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12525d ago (Edited 25d ago )

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.

Relientk7726d ago

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

Cacabunga26d ago

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

S2Killinit26d ago (Edited 26d 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.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga25d 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

1nsomniac25d ago (Edited 25d 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.

medman25d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger26d 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_Box26d 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.

robtion25d 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.

darthv7226d 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.

Agent7526d ago

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

S2Killinit26d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14926d ago

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

Lightning7726d 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.
