There's an article in Design News PS3: Fast and Cool http://designnews.com/article/CA6406738.html?nid=2321&rid=1205974513
I've had mine now for about 3 weeks. It is an impressive machine. It does get warm and it draws a lot of current (I have it on a MONSTER power line filter with voltage and current meter). I am disappointed that when playing regular DVDs and PS2 games, the PS3 does not do any up-onversion, it instead passes the signal as plan old 480. But when playing Blu-Ray and PS3 games, it is impressive. However, the Blu-Ray movies are not as vivid as I expected (say as compared to hi-def off-air television or my up-converting DVD player). Perhaps this is because the encoding of the movies is not at a high level (yet). The sound from the PS3 games and Blu-Ray movies is very impressive. If I notice anything that's different, it is the sound more than the video. My TV is 1080 HD. The web bowser is very bad. I am not impressed that the PS3 is an entertainment center. Hopefully a future firmware upgrade will fix all this? I have not loaded Linux on it yet. I am trying to find time among the other projects that are demanding my time. - Steve N7HPR -----Original Message----- >From: Bob McGwier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Jan 22, 2007 10:13 AM >To: discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org >Subject: Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] PlayStation 3 > >Mine arrives on Wednesday unless I am mistaken.
