that's almost the whole point of the PS3!

[Racefan_uk]

PS3 is upstairs, router is downstairs in the office, with no real easy way to get a cable up to it...

I need to look into solutions for this, I can tell!

BBC TV and Radio on demand straight to your tele.

Full screen or postage stamp?

Slighty OT but is it possible to watch youtube on PS3 fullscreen?

[dave_s13]

It'll stil look a bit $hit fullscreen on a big plasma though, non?

Most likely, although I want to be able to find out!

I'm sure I could always set the output of the PS3 to 480p if I was really that arsed.

Looks good on my 32" screen. Can't tell you any more than that.

Yes you can watch youtube on the PS3

Just use an HDMI or VGA out on your computers graphics card for the same effect (assuming you have a card that costs at least £50)...

Most wide screen LCD computer monitors (22"+) are 1680x1050 resolution, much higher res than a typical LCD/Plasma TV - so yes it will look fine.

Or if you have a PS3 already plugged into the tele...

This is excellent news as it looks like I'm without sky for a month until they get one of thier lazy bum-scratchers out to replace my box which died.

True.

Suppose the PS3 has become a "media centre". Never owned a console, after playing various friends' consoles it was fun for an hour... but not really worth £350 + games.

Top games console, Blu-Ray player, 40gb media centre all for 280 squids. Can't complain at that really.
