I just finished about 3 hours of COD and I am a bit tired of gaming, so I want to do something else. Anybody got any ideas of what I can do with my beloved PS3? Like, you know, customizing it, websites, downloads of content, etc.mackmavs

-Start ripping your CDs to your PS3 (recommend changing the file type to MP3 instead of AAC so you can move it to other devices easily as well, or take your ipod and move all your music to your PS3.

-Install Linux

-Network your PS3 with your PC folders of music and videos

-Folding @ home :)

-surf the web - I like to use youtube on my PS3, much better on my TV with friends

-Download some trailers

-Upload your pictures to your PS3- very nice and makes it so much easier to share them with friends or family.

There are a few ideas for you :) I hope it helps

Here what do

-Watch embarassing home videos

-Surf the net

-Watch Deatn Note episodes

Linux is the only available (with out getting a straight up unix build... and well paying out the bum) operating system that support the cell processor.

 It will work pretty much the same as a regular PC, you can surt the web with Mozilla Firefox 3 or Opera 9.5, you can ssh into other systems, you can run MySQL/Apache and turn your PS3 into a decent webserver (the only major problem with that is the limited ram, so it would have to be primarily static if you were to get a large number of users to hit it...) You can use OpenOffice (opensource office productivity suite) compairable to microsoft office, and you can save in Micorosoft office formats so that it can be used between the two suites.  All you need is a USB Keyboard/Mouse.. And well a copy of your favorite distribution that has a build for cell processor, I would recommend Yellow Dog... but that is me

wow i really didnt knew that tyvm, but i just hav one last question, if instal the linux, can i still use the XMB?TIGERLIONX

yes, it gives you a boot option, so you can dual boot. Linux was one of the things that sony was pushing before the launch of the PS3, they were even talking about including a distro with the release, but that idea got scratched about a month before launch. IMO, sony should really start pushing that these make a decent linux box as well... but hey I am not a marketing guy for them...

Anywho glad to help

If you download Linux can you play pc games? If so, where can I download it?

folding@home is the biggest scam ever. Wooo, I helped cure cancer! What's my reward... Oh, nothing.
