Don't go to the network sites that require separate plugins (which isn't a Sony or Flash problem) and instead watch on Hulu.com which in this case was actually cocreated by NBC along with Fox. Full episodes stream just fine there including Heroes.

Just don't click on the 'fullscreen' button. It doesn't work and puts it into a smaller window that you can't adjust. Instead zoom the entire PS3 browser to go fullscreen.

Hopefully more networks will realize that making people install proprietary players isn't the way to go.

They could have used shockwave instead of flash, shockwave is made in director while flash is made in flash.

Shockwave uses a scripting language called lingo
Flash uses a scripting language called action script.

Both are owned by Adobe, obtained when Adobe obtained
Macromedia.

I'm definately looking forward to that Keyboard attachment to the controller as it'll satisfy my messaging and browsing needs. I think we are both in the big lazy boat of convience when it comes to using products.

Well, I WAS looking forward to the keyboard attachment until I saw the price. 49.99 for that thing is absolutlely ridiculous!! That is easily a 19.99 attachment, maybe 29.99 at the most. I just cannot believe it's the same price as the controller.

Yet you and I will still be purchasing it.

I haven't decided yet. I'm already using a wireless keyboard with a built in trackball. It works pretty good. I think I paid 20 bucks for that thing! 50 dollars for a keyboard attachment is robbery imo.

I am using a Logitech MX5000 bluetooth keyboard and laser mouse, so have no intention of getting that keypad. Fortunately, it was a gift.
