Hi guys I am in Dilemma Between an HTPC and a PS3.
If i buy a HTPC it will cost me minimum RM 3000 Because I would Need a Blu Ray rom but I want a PC because I am a Download freak i dload 24/7 and I keep my PC on .

But If i buy a PS3 can Use it to dload from Internet and Keep it on 24/7???
Not playing 24/7 just keeping it idle 24/7 and it will dload in the Background??

PS3 is a very good Blu Ray Player no doubt costs only RM 1500 so Can I

1. KEEP it on 24/7 and use it to dload from Rapidshare or HTTP sites or from torrent? It uses Ubuntu right??
2.Can PS3 Play HD MKV files which are 1080p and 720p . I know it can play VOB and mp4 but i dont want to convert it because it will compromise the quality.
can it play mkv under yellow dog linux or linux or ubuntu? without any lag for 720p or 1080p mkv files?

^thanks for the informative post + pict

i'll C+P into front page so others can find it easily

welcome

What is the use of installing other OS in PS3 ?
Is it hard to install one in ps3?

Wow,nice post bro. Im gonna get mine in the evening,hope it works...
Thanks for the guide

why so bother want to install OS?
game console is for gaming..
no need OS...

biasa-biasa saja post. hehe. Im using with ugly lenovo lcd. but still can use 720p. quite nice playing mgs4. huhu.

My advice will be to get a PS3 for your gaming needs and save a bit later to get a cheap PC or lappie for your download needs....

U know what ppl. My Newly bought DS3 right from sony style(times square)
rosak ady. right from the beginning the gs3 rosak ady. cant use the ds3 wirelessly. and the charging never ends. can charge all day long also wont full. Sealed box somemore. ITS SEALED!!!!! sigh. i so lucky weiii.. now hav to go thru all the trouble to claim warranty from sony. -.-

lucky got number 49

i also buy from t here...
but mine no problem..
lucky i buy early than u

the dual shock 3 controller only charges when the ps3 is on, right? cause mine doesn't charge when it is on standby.

bro u are unlucky, u get the KING DS3, before this i also own a KING DS2 for my ps2 2 year ago

king ds3?

with my ds3 prob now.. i am super lucky ady. sheesh...

KING??? u're talking about dualshock3 right?

Can't u just go for the exchange, instead of warranty?? hmmmm.... What's the diff between King's and normal??
