Slim Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Rumour has it that XBMC developers are porting to linux so it can be used on other platforms - namely PS3 & Apple TV. They already have the inteface working in Ubuntu Feisty, so getting it over to Yellow Dog Linux for PS3 is only a matter of time. That's great news if they pull it off. Last thing I'd do is run it on a ps3 though, a cheap PC costs a fraction of that rip off thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, then it's all a matter of opinion. I don't feel ripped off with the PS3, but I had the spare cash and I've got what I wanted. You are right a cheap PC will run the same if thats what you want to do. At work we just use a Mac Mini to serve as a media player for our client area. Picking up media from the network upstairs.

I think the ps3 is a research project for an impending japanese invasion. They're trying to find our weak spots by locating the stupidest people in our population who are prepared to pay half a grand for a console.

Gavsta Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 In relation to a 360 how noisy is the PS3? Also, does TT Superbikes run on it? I haven't dug out my copy of TT superbikes and tried it yet. I'll try tomorrow, but official source says: Does it look any better with the upscaling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavsta Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 In relation to a 360 how noisy is the PS3? I have already bought a HDDVD player, but if I feel the need for BluRay, can a PS3 sit as a media source without sounding like a shuttle is taking off? Also, does TT Superbikes run on it? It's unnoticeable. A *lot* quieter than the 360, so much so that a 360 sounds even louder next to it. Yes it does. Ace, cheers ta. <checks funds> hmm - wont be this month tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelslikeitshould Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Does it look any better with the upscaling? A hell of a lot better. On our 40" it looked a bit 'edgy' without upscaling and smoothing, turn it on and it all becomes a lot sharper and rounded, a vast and immediately noticeable improvement.

Rich Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Nothing wrong with playing older games on a new console. Game Cube games on the Wii are fantastic, and I still play the odd XBOX game on the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
