PSN GUI Store Demo & BBC on PS3!
Video about the new PSN Store which should be available mid April along with version 2.30 of the PS3 firmware. Also mentioned was that 2.30 will have DTS-HD audio output for Blu-Ray movies (if it’s supported by the disc). Not being hugely into the audio side of things I have no idea what difference this will make in reality but any advancement is always welcome.
Just came across this as I was posting the above and decided to stick it on the end.
PS3iPlayer uses the BBC iPlayer for Wii (didn’t know there was one!) and converts it for use with the PS3. You have to navigate to the site using the PS3 browser and quite frankly it’s brilliant. There are a few very minor issues but has the person who created it says:
“It’s mainly a demonstration of how easily the BBC could support the PS3 with their Wii version. This does nothing more than
mask your PS3’s user-agent string and makes half a dozen changes to make the JavaScript and CSS function correctly on the PS3.
It only took a day to produce, so come on BBC – how about implementing this properly?”
