If you didn't see it on Gizmodo or one of the other geek sites, Playon Media Server is in a beta release and is free (for now - it'll have a $30 price tag down the road) for download now. What does it do? Well, in the here and now it allows your PS3 or xBox to stream content from sites like Hulu.com (and Netflix very soon) and quite a few other ( Read more... )

wow, Hulu is great, thanks!

I'll check out playon. Which version is better you think? PS3 or xbox?

sure thing - re: version... I mean, I would assume it's the same for either and would depend on which platform you prefer...

oooo! p00kitty August 22 2008, 02:23:23 UTC

hrm....Playon you say...

quelle intrigue!

I use TwonkyVision now to sync up D's Mac and my pc so we can play our music/play the videos via the PS3 set up to home stereo...however quicktime stuff is no go (duh) so that kinda sucks. I will look into Playon fo sho and report any of my experiences. I LOVE the idea of playing the Netflix 'watch now' stuff via PS3! I already tried and, of course, it doesnt work. Stupid Ps3 browser.

I do find it interesting that you can install an additional OS on the PS3 (i assume either windows or linux)...which may be kinda cool since it would be just like a big TV/PC? which you can see all that stuff online anyway? I havent done it, but daydream about the possibilities.

btw i need to send you my addy...tee hee forgot! :)
