Firmware 2.50 coming tomorrow, along with Flash 9

by Alan Tsang on Oct 14th 2008 10:55AM

In addition to the features announced yesterday, Firmware 2.50 will feature Flash 9 support for the PS3's browser, according to this post on the official PlayStation community forums. The message also states the update will arrive tomorrow, October 15th.

Furthermore, Eurogamer was able to uncover some extra changes that most of us probably don't care about: users will now "the ability to see optional EXIF (exchangeable image file format) information while viewing photos" and "the Y and Z and Q and A keys have been remapped for the German on-screen keyboard." For a full list of updates, check out our post from yesterday.

Awesome news

Wholy shit! If that is true, that is friggin awesome! And it also says that not only can you have your controllers shut off after so long, you can have the console as well! I dont know how creditable it is, but we can only hope!

YES YES YES YES!! FW 2.5 and Flash 9!!!!!! wooooohooo! im so happy!!!
sony is so cool!!!! my bro asked me yesterday why sony doesn't fix
their web browser. i got my answer now! lol!

Anyone know if I'll be able to watch videos on Foxnews.com now??

Yay, finally Flash is up to date!

Watching videos may still be a problem since there is still a lack of RAM. Combine that with the fact that a lot of websites today are designed very sloppily.

Oh F yeah! Comes on my birthday too aweosme!

wow a very good update!

Or we could just...you know...quote the official press release on threespeech.org?

http://threespeech.com/blog/2008/10/new-info-on-the-firmware-updates-for-ps3-and-psp/

nice update. i dont think anyone knew about the web browser getting flash player 9. nice! Cant wait to try out HQ mode tommorow!

HQ mode only works with the official sony bluetooth headset and will not work on any other brand!!!!

yeah i know im getting the socom bundle tommorow

Now this is all i want sony!!!! At last sony knows what we want!!!! Now i will be able to watch porn on my ps3.

Porn of the PS3 is definitely worth a subversion number

Pron.....Yess

something tells me those porn sites will have WAAAAAAY too many pop-ups and ads and wont be able to even show up on the PS3......lol

just like when I try 2 look @ Joystiq or even sometimes PS3fanboy......

Thats a good point the aggie... maybe we need more cache space... but im ok if i can see streaming movies like the ones in tnaflix.com first i was able to see them but then they upgraded to flash 9 so i guess i will now be able to see them again.... does anyone knows a ps3 flash game? they should do that. i have only seen duck hunt :P

i read joystiq and the fanboy sites all the time with minimal problems.

Poor Jerses, megarotic works with the current PS3 browser. But now with Flash 9 its like a hole new world is opening up to me.

Err, em, thats what a friend told me at least. * runs away*

wow. i thought i was one of the only ones who tried that and was sadly disapointed...guess not XD

@iamkid
oh surely you are not alone my friend, you are not alone haha.

But really the flash upgrade is great all around. Plus firmware?! Thank you Sony ;]

Does this mean sites like Hulu will work now?

dude i hope so...i really do!

Try the PlayOn Media Server. We watch Hulu and Netflix on my PS3 all the time now. Works best if you are using only G (wireless) or have it all connected cat5 (which is the way my set up works).

Finally Flash 9. I thought it would never come.

Thanks for the great news. I am so excited to hear of the Flash update. The extra feature for offline friends is cool too.

OH SHIT DUDE LMFAO... but yeah same here

flash 9 woohoo.., South Park finally :)

Flash games anyone?

WOW...Finally flash 9....i can´t wait for tomorrow!

yay

FINALLY! I've been wanting Flash on my PS3 since i got it. Now i can see how my site (BangBoomCrash.com) will look with the video playing. NICE!

its had flash but not 9....

its ALWAYS had flash dude......

i've tried to watch videos on my website using the Vimeo.com embedded and it always says "you need to update your flash". then i go to Adobe to update and it says "your browser is not supported for Flash".

cuz those sites use newer flash than what it has now... try youtube right now and see...

I assumed YouTube had a JavaScript or some other web language backup for computers that didn't have flash installed. Much like MegaRotic.com (yes...i used my PS3 to look at MegaRotic...i'm sorry)

Does this mean that Pandora will now work?

Still no .mkv support?

--

D :

finally flash 9

Wow this is by far the best update so far. Flash 9 woohoo. Bring on the porn.

Sorry everyone, time to cry now:
http://www.techspot.com/news/32057-adobe-launches-flash-player-10-.html

That's right. Made redundant the day before it's out.

Cool, I think that will make Hulu work now?? Damn, I'm going to need to exit the LBP Beta now :-(.

beta is dead

I've kept it on since Sunday.. just yesterday they took off the servers so I guess it's not worth keeping on anyway but I am getting much more comfortable with the creating tools and starting to get a level idea in.

Haha mines still on too... I should probably turn it off for the sake of the PS3 and myself. It's not even that much longer till the game comes out.

WOW this is too good to be true!!! BUT IT IS TRUE!!! THANK YOU SONY!!!

so does this mean i can watch videos from FOX ON DEMAND?

I thought that I had to download a plug in or something to watch those on the computer, so it probably wouldn't work on the PS3. I think its something different from flash. But what do I know? nuthin I tells ya

Holy Fucking Shit--About time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just what I've been waiting for.

So, does this mean I can watch the video's posted on PS3 Fanboy? You know, the video's PS3 Fanboy sometimes posts along with a article?
