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?
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....
