How to Install A Flash Player on A PS3 Browser
In addition to playing video games, Sony's PlayStation 3 gaming console is a full-fledged entertainment hub. It plays CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays and has a built-in web browser for going online. Certain Internet websites require Flash to be installed on your computer. As you aren't using a computer but a PS3 to view the Internet, you'll have to install Flash on it instead. Use this article as a guide as you do just that.

Youtube videos will play on my system, I personally have no issues as far as the subject goes, my only problem is the search bar at the top of the web page. For some bland, odd filled reason, I cannot press the search button to actually find videos I need, the page rather wants to continue bringing up the search box for some reason. A major ps3 browser update would be a huge relief for some of us frustrated gamers out there.

I would like to point out that this is a total lie. Sony has to package the Flash Player into their Firmware updates for the system and those are becoming few and far between these days. If they only did it this way as explained in the eHow here, there wouldn't be so many ticked off PS3 users.
