Yea... Gametrailers only offers their videos in Flash, Quicktime, and Windows Media Video (WMV)... none of which the PS3 can take advantage of. I really wish they'd allow us to have support for more video formats.

Wrong, the WMV video uses h264 which the PS3 can play, and an updated PS3 should be able to read it. Try the HD WMV links, might work, you never know.
We do have flash on the ps3, the problem is the version and platform, since the ps3 OS is based on linux, we have these problems, the same happen in some version of linux, it wasn't until like 2 month ago that flash player 9 was released for linux and still is crappy version of it.
I hope an update come in the near future, but they only way we will get what we want is if Sony work with adobe in a more functional version for the Ps3 OS.

Really? I always thought that since it was a windows format it wouldn't be able to. Along the same lines of why PS3 can't read NTFS hard drive formats.
They're using the WMV container, not the codec. They're using the standard h264 MEPG4 AVC codec instead. It might work, might not but worth a try. Cant hurt :)

I'd try it but I'm not at home... Plus... I find that I can just use my PC to view them anyway :P
Last time I tried just going onto the us.playstation.com site and it said Ineeded to update my Java player. Sony doesn't even let us go onto their own site with the PS3. I was able to do it before though...
