Full screen Flash-enabling v2.53 PS3 firmware available now

We're still not over Sony's trickeration -- which led us to believe the version 2.53 firmware update was hitting prior to the US Thanksgiving holiday -- but we're not ones to turn down a free update under any circumstances. As of now (as in, right now), Sony's PlayStation 3 can support full screen embedded Flash videos courtesy of the latest firmware, so there's really no excuse for you not firing up the System Update and sucking it down. Get to it!

do it and you'll likely go to jail.

your smarter than this, this user is spamming the real SITEiNK, the one with an "I" not a "1" in a failed effort to get them banned.

we've already put one person in jail for computer fraud and impersonation, one more won't hurt at all.

each post they leave is just more evidence against them.

This is cool. Now I can catch up on all the TV shows that my DVR doesn't record.

However, I'd still rather get Metal Gear Solid 3 up to full speed. Damn you, Sony, for ignoring gamers!

I wish they would have an update that would allow Netflix to play
any one know if they plan this?

Is it just me, or do lots of you tube videos now just show a black screen after the update?
