1. Umm why? To play flash games? O.o

2. I don't know anything about java

3. Fair enough

4. Nice idea

5. Use your laptop/desktop, I really don't want that crap cluttering my ps3 menus.

6. Mmkay

7. LOL

8. Good idea

9. Considering a lot of people can't string a coherent sentence together? No...

10. You can't record videos unless games support it though... so you'd have to go on your pc, download a video, get it onto the ps3 and then upload it? O.o

11. Youtube HD sucks, fact.

12. Never going to happen.

13. Never going to happen.

14. Youtube has 4od and 5 I think, not sure if it still works though

15. To speed the webpages up a bit yeah.

16. There aren't any pop-ups? You can just press no...

17. Bookmark your favourite lazypants.

18. WHY? There's no viruses!

19. I don't want clutter tbh

20. Not apps but making them work on the ps3 would be nice

[JediKnight246]

1.Yes, to play flash games, and 70% of the interweb's videos are in flash format.
2.It powers stuff like LoonScape and games on Blu-Ray movies.
3.And YouTube uses it, so that's another possible future way to get HD YT vids...
4.It wouldn't be hard for Sony to implement, considering they've already done it with their new Bravia TV's.
5.Yeah, Sony should have it in a single 'Clients option, to keep the menu nice and tidy.
6.Google Chrome has had this feature for a while now.
7.I watch Shaun The Sheep as well.
8.Especially as the PSP already has an RSS Channel.
9.Then you've probably not witnessed the car crash that is PS£'s text chat.
10.If Sony do this, they'll have to(if not already) DRM PlayTV files, and Sony might take a dim view on ppl uploading stuff from the PS Store, so they'll probably disable it in the next FW update.
11.Imagine it on a 2.1GHz laptop....ouch.
12.If Firefox can do it.....Sony probably won't bother.
13.Android is getting Adobe AIR 2.0, which is what iPlayer uses for downloads, so there's always the possibility.
14.They do work on YouTube, but p*** poor 360p is painful to watch on a 1080p telly.
15.Because no one likes ads.
16.And the unruly site can just keep sending them....the cycle never ends....
17.I have, crappy plain HTML version of Gmail, bookmark'd.
18.Can't see why Trend Micro bother charging for it either.
19.They should all be accessible from a single section in the menu.
20.Apps would be better, then they would still work if Sony doesn't bother updating the browser for another 2 years.

Good to see this thread bumped the latest version of flash is a must have feature who wants to watch telly on a computer screen?

[lt1moz]

Come on sony sort it out !

[JediKnight246]

When Sony find out that the videos on xbox.com play in the PS3's browser(and you can download tham too), they'll probably disable WMV playback in a future firmware update, due to 'security concerns'.

Specifically it's the videos for the 360 Facebook & Twitter & Zune & last.fm apps that play.

[savage1980]

Read some of this thread and i agree the browser is serious need of a updated.  We also need a better "you tube", i mean whats the point of a hd tv and ps3 if the vids on you tube look like mobile phone footage from the mid 90's!! We should be able to watch the HD vids dam it!  It would also be good if you can use the apps on facebook for those that dont have access to a laptop/pc.

[CardcaptorStacey]

I really want the browser to be available in-game. It's stupid you need to quit to use it. I just want it for general browsing. Nothing special while I wait during online games.

[mont348]

That would be handy CardcoptorStacey if you want to dip out of game and check gamefaqs or any other tip sites out most work on the current browser.

Whats shameful is no Playstation Blog videos work they used to before 3.10 official sites should be optimized for the current browser.

HTML 5 Has a Standard Agreed for Video content which is not FLASH.

Adobe have annoyed some people big time with there rubbish Flash plugin.

IE is again draging behind all other Browser engines again as usual.

Flash 9 Runs alot of sites still. The BBC has ZERO problems running IPLAYER on Flash 9.

ITV, 4 and 5 still have not Built their WEBTV sites and have till the End of 2010 to do so.

Rumours are Five will be first to release their WEBTV site.

They need the WEBTV sites as the mirrors on Youtube Are realy low Quality even on a 15inch monitor yet alone a 50 inch HDTV.
