So, while I'm impressed that someone has done this, this doesn't mean that it's the best possible iPlayer proposition for that console. We're investigating the optimal video profile and browser proposition to enable us to officially make iPlayer available on PS3 in due course.

What's the difference between what's shown on iPlayer and on cable? And on the internet too, for that matter :?

What if you don't have cable? I guess it's just extra episodes with good quality for your PS3/Wii.

I guess so. Still it does seem to be a rather odd service to be on a gaming console. Well so far this gen has pretty much turn the console into a multimedia entertainment system for the living room. Can't help but wonder what those people are gonna think of next. :P

If it's free (which it is) it can only be a good thing. The days of consoles being just for games are well over my freind. In 10 years or so i am guessing no one will have a PC for mutilmedia and console just a box under there telly that does everything.

In 2008 that's true. As i say in 2018 who knows as they seem to get closer every console generation.

Yes i know there is one out already, but it would be a hell of a lot better if it was made and endorsed by the BBC themselves

Yeah seriously, come on MS, having the option just to stream from the 360 in my living room would make life a lot easier
