How to Download a Flash Player to the PS3

Flash is a very important element to a lot of web pages. Sites like YouTube, for example, won't work for you unless you have Flash installed on your computer. This is just as true for the web browser that is built into the Sony PlayStation 3 as it is for any web browser you would use on your computer. If you want to install Flash on your Sony PS3, you just have to go to the right website and download the correct extension.
