Sony has finally rolled out the 2.53 firmware update that brings ability to play full-screen flash movies in the browser.

hrm, not a very useful update from my perspective.

i haven't had any trouble with 2.52 and folding.

perhaps there are some hidden firmware changes that positively affect the stability of ps home.
 
Yay, fullscreen flash support means fullscreen youpor...err.. youtube! :D

hulu.com and the new YouTube HD in full screen goodness comes to mind.
 
I read that some PS3s weren't able to read discs after the update. This problem happened to my brother once, so once I heard it was happening to people again I had to call him at 11pm to tell him not to update his PS3.
 
Umm can I finally watch shows on the Fox web page like House and Terminator on my ps3 so I don't have to hook the laptop up to my tv?

being canadian, hulu.com is irrelevant to me.

and seeing as my PC is hooked into the same 47" 1080p screen as my PC, YouTubeHD is a click of 'input' away.

but i suppose this update good for americans or people who don't use a PC.

No SRT or MKV support :(

Matroska is simply a container. Both the audio and video can be whatever codec you want when you go to author the file. Under those circumstances, it makes the PS3 kind of hard to support it. Also the fact that very few of us are going to even care.

it supports avi, though it will not play anything in the container. why not mkv?
 
i shouldnt have to convert my movies to play them on my ps3/xbox/iphone/pmp/ect.


kinda defeats the whole purpose.
 
What do you guys mean, this is great! Fullscreen Hulu now, pretty cool.

It only supports the DivX codec on AVI. They never claim that it can view AVIs, just DivX files. It's also complicated by the fact that MKV inherently supports multiple audio tracks ( which can of course be any codec themselves) and soft subtitles.
 
i dont know whether its just a coincidence or not but after updating the ps3 i cant play with most of my friends on cod5 now.

it can view avi's provided divx is living in there.

so support h.264/divx/mp2/mp3/mp4/ogg


dont they do much of that already?
 
You can use srt/.sub + .idx subtitles for .AVI files on the ps3. You just need to soft-sub them using a program called "AVISUB". The process takes about 2 mins!
