I picked up a PS3 40GB from what used to be Virgin megastores the other day. Had a manager's own deal type thing going on: 40GB PS3, extra controller, any game and one of a selected blu ray discs for £335. Best deal I could find on the 40GB in town that day.
Some questions though:
- Does a better music player program exist? Something more along the lines of itunes / windows media, rather than just playing mp3s in a specific folder?
Say I wanted to play all of my music on shuffle, or all songs by $artist - how can you do this?
- Any way to stream / share content to the PS3 from my Mac other than via EyeConnect software - that thing costs money, and also hogs ram: Streamed a few tracks of music from it the other day, then noticed that the EyeConnect daemon was using >500MB of real memory, even after the streaming and with the PS3 turned off downstairs...
Otherwise, pretty sweet thing, this PS3. Quiet, games and blu-rays look excellent. Interface isn't quite up to the 'designed by apple' standard i've gotten used to though!
