BBC iPlayer for PS3

Eventhough the BBC has now announced they are creating an official way to access the BBC iPlayer on the PS3, someone found a way to port the Wii version onto the PS3.

The URL is http://ps3iplayer.com and can only be viewed on the PS3's built in web browser. I've tested it myself and everything works flawlessly and you can even view in full screen, too. All the menus work great and there is not much else to comment on. A job well done to be honest.

The BBC have also apparently offered the person responsible for this a job!

PS3 Hacked? Update!

The PS3 seems to have been the hardest console to hack at the moment...but they all get there in the end, right?

It has been reported that hackers have found a way to play retail games from off of an internal and external HDD. This is a pretty nice breakthrough, but I'm sure just by looking at various torrent sites that you all know the games are averaging around 25GB a game. The bad news of this story though is that even these games have to be patched and have their encryption taken away before they can be run.

I reckon it's going to be a while until anything is released to the public so i'd leave your PS3 pirating fantasies locked away for a while. Keep checking back though for more updates.

If you have an opinion on this, or think you know of a way in which Sony can protect against this...shoot me a comment.
