How to Play Flash Games on PS3 Internet

PlayStation 3 owners aren't limited to only playing games they purchase for their console. The PlayStation 3's web browser and Flash support allows gamers to play free online games through their television screen. Flash-based games are available to any PS3 user with a system running firmware 2.5 or above and are played using a combination of the PS3 controller and a USB keyboard. You can play these games fully without downloading any software and access them in the same way the PS3 accesses a website.
