Comment by: Xenon24 (Dec 04, 2008 17:48) Quick question about the updates. I use my PS3 to view videos on youtube because my computer is so old it doesn't do this well. I have had no problems doing this it was really great....until now. Videos that I use to watch, I can no longer see the clip but I can hear the audio. Is this due to a recent update?! Just wanted to know if anyone new. Thanks in advance. |
