If you really wanted, you could run bittorrent on the ps3 and save the files to the ps3, pc, or a network storage device. Only thing it can't do is act as a tuner (although if there's a usb tv tuner that has an open-source linux driver, you could probably even do that).

Reading the linux docs, about the only real restriction is no 3d acceleration through the nvidia chip, which really stinks. But it won't affect the media center abilities too much, and if you get desperate, the Cell can handle 3d duties too.]]>Nov 16th 2006 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/
Can someone explain the logic of this upscaling hysteria?

If your TV does 1080 and it gets a 480 signal, and it displays it fullscreen, then the TV has already upscaled the signal by definition. Unless you mean it displays in a small square in the middle of the screen?

If you're getting a fullscreen display on the TV, it's upscaled. End of story.

The only question is the QUALITY of the upscaling. And there's no reason to expect that the PS3 will do a better job of this than the TV so I don't see what all the complaining is about.

I dont know how that stacks up against a native 16x9 lcd display.

you need to have the media in proper folders for the ps3 to see them. just like the psp. hit triangle to browse all files on the disk anyway. they will play but wont show up in their respecive places on the xmb. ]]>Nov 16th 2006 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/Nov 16th 2006 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/Nov 19th 2006 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/Nov 16th 2006 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/

Upscaling is a process that digitally upconverts the signal into a higher signal offering better quality. Just because the tv displays the signal in full screen dosen't make it a 1080i/p signal. ]]>Nov 16th 2006 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/
"a process that digitally upconverts the signal into a higher signal" riiiiight..

If you've got a 640x480 source and a TV with 1920×1080 pixels, it's either scaled in the player, or scaled in the machine. I fail to see what the difference is. In fact, the TV is probably going to do a better job since it is aware of the unique characteristics of the display.

Kindly point me to some serious info. I really want to know why it's better for the player to upscale a DVD to 1080 than to have the display do it.]]>Nov 16th 2006 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/16/ps3-faq-answers-to-your-playstation-3-questions/
