Sony and RealD

Good news for all PS3 fans. Last week the specs for 3D Blu-ray were finalized and as result PS3 will have support 3D. So, if you already have Sony Playstation 3 you’ll just update its firmware to enjoy 3D effects (sure, you should have a 3D compatible TV). Also Sony will be licensing RealD tech for use in consumer products in 2010. If you don’t know the RealD is company who is behind the 3D technology for many of the high-end 3D films in theaters like Avatar, for example. That new 3D technology will be added to the 3D Bravia LCD TV line. It’ll need 3D eyewear to view the content.

PS3 3in1 Wireless keyboard controller remote

PS3 3in1 Wireless keyboard controller remote

There is a very interesting concept of remote control for the Sony PS3 in the Superufo.com. The PS3 3in1 Wireless keyboard controller remote contains not only buttons typical for ordinary remotes. It has slide keyboard. So, when you need to type something it’ll be much easier then using separate real or virtual keyboard. That remote is just $28.52 which is even less then costs of ordinary remote control.

I’d like to have such device near my HTPC. It’s very useful to have keyboard when you need it and do not use separate one. Even extremely compact.

Turn Your Sony PS3 into a MythTV PVR

After running Debian on PS3 it’s time to turn it into PVR. Here is a list of its additional components: MythTV and a Plextor ConvertX PX-TV402U, a pretty nifty little box that has a TV tuner, a variety of video inputs for handling cable and satellite broadcasts, and support for MPEG-1/2/4 and DivX compression. You’ll also need some Linux drivers for that PX-TV402U, and a couple of patches to help the driver work on the PS3.
Hoverer, I don’t see any practice reason to do this hack. Because if you want to make sure you never miss a recording, you have to keep your MythTV running all the time, meaning you can’t play PS3 games. It’d be much more sensible to create HTPC instead.
