Good news, PS3 firmware 2.5 is bringing Flash 9 support to consoles. Sony started working to get Flash 9 working on the PS3 a year ago and had to customize it to get the software running. The console's online speed is getting improved, too. According to Sony Computer Entertainment, the 2.5 firmware also ups the Javascript speed by 2.8. Masaki Takase says that while that benchmark doesn't surpass Google Chrome, but it does beat Internet Explorer 7. Not bad for a game console!
