Anyone haven't bought their PS3 yet?
Streaming via TVersity is probably cool if you have Gigabit wired or 802.11N but it sucked via 802.11G for most vids. I make sure to DL good AVI's and then just throw a bunch on a thumb drive. They look way better when played directly off a thumb drive.
I hope Sony releases an update someday that will just allow you to join your PS3 to the workgroup so you can browse all your movies without TVersity or the like.

I will more than likely use it for GT5 only. It's really not worth using as a media center. I'm going to build a HTPC with something like XBMC on it for network video streaming.

I applaud Sony coming out with the slim. When we heard that they canceled productionof the current PS3 in Japan two or three months ago, we were all worried it was the end of the run. But when we heard they bought enough parts and materials to make a million more, we knew the Slim was coming, but not this damn soon. I expected XMas at the earliest.
The slim will have all the current features in a smaller body. The only thing I'm afraid of is cooling. The current models do run hot, but nothing that will cause overheating ( they arent made by microsoft, after all ). When I get my hands on one sunday or monday, I'll check it out. May have to sell one of my Bacwards Compatible ones and get one.
