PS3 - Big steps to becoming THE Ultimate Entertainment Package

---

PlayStation 3 is taking big steps towards becoming the ultimate entertainment box in Europe.At Sony’s Games Convention press conference (blogged by Kotaku) Play TV was announced late 2007. This is just a device that hooks between your PS3 and television that will allow the console to record one channel while you watch another. A sort of Media/TV on demand box.

Play TV not only supports high definition video but will also allow you to stream live or recorded video from the PS3 directly to your PSP via Remote play, effectively allowing you to watch your television shows on the handheld from anywhere in the world.

PS3 - Hacking has started

I’ve learnt:

“The greatest enemy to PS3 “security” is the PS3 itself.”

We all remember PSP and ISO’s, the hack came out somewhat quickly. Apparently it’s not that smooth for PS3, Sony thought they have learnt their lesson, however our friends, the ethical experts have discovered that a PS3 has an AdvanceMAME binary that allows the system to emulate arcade games through Linux (hmmmmm…)

Yep, thanks to that handy OS named Linux, which conveniently comes prepped for the console, we’re already seeing some pretty nifty things being done with the PS3, and now it’s being put to good use to siphon data off of those nifty Blu-ray discs.
So far nothing more than a straight transfer has been achieved, but it appears the PS3 game file structure is similar to that of the PSP.

(Note that this is exactly how the PSP backup scene got started, the PS3 file structure closely resembles the one used in PlayStation Portable games.)

It’s not sure yet how well on the way this puts us towards the ability to create “backup” discs of PS3 games, but at least it’s a start.

Some Jap Company plugged in an external hard drive containing two 750 GB in RAID 0, 1 configuration is attached to the PS3 unit via special SATA cable. Still on show (but if the Japs can do it why shouldn’t we?!)
