Post the video sites that work on the PS3 after 2.5 firmware

As suggested by Michael Corvin in the PS3 thread, this thread will list off the various video content websites that now work after the 2.50 firmware update to the PS3 added flash support.

I'll keep a list in the second post for easy access.

1) Please help me out by posting a link to the site for me to copy into the master list.
2) Maybe a short description of what type of content
3) Nothing offensive (ie porn) or against forum rules, please

Thanks Chew. I think this thread is going to be pretty empty until later tonight though.

www.hulu.com definitely works. The options like full screen do not (you have to manually zoom in) and you can't log in to your profile (I tried and it didn't seem to work) so watching rated R stuff may be out.

I tried watching Lost on ABC.com and it doesn't seem to work because of the full-screen player that has to launch when watching. Anyone else try?

Didn't work for me either.

In fact, very little does.

I'm not quite as excited anymore.

Comedy Central and South Park Studios don't work. I can see the video clip on the front page of South Park Studios, but when I try and watch episodes they don't load.

I took the text directly from an Office quote site.

Apparently, they had it wrong.

Thanks, I updated.

Well, I'm a little less enthused now. I watched the premier episode of ER last night and it didn't run smooth at all for the entire 45 minutes. Looks like this will be a last resort measure for sure, instead of a one-stop tv-watching shop. I do have my PS3 hooked up via wireless, but I get a 97% signal, so I don't think it was that.

Hopefully Netflix on the 360 is a little better. I especially hope they add more TV on DVD sets for streaming.
