We have used our Sony Playstation 3 perhaps four or five times to watch hired Blue Ray disks from Blockbusters. It’s time this PS3 moved in with someone who is going to use it in the way it was meant to be used (games / movies / online browsing / facebook / twitter / social entertainment console).
We have an XBOX which we use all the time so that is the only reason why I am selling the PS3.
Note: This is not the slim version of PS3.
Specifications:
This the the 40GB version that comes with a built in Blue Ray disc drive for high definition gaming, movies and entertainment. It’s got true 1080p HD support. The box includes the motion sensitive SIXAXIS wireless controller. The built-in hard drive means there is plenty of space for movies, music, games and downloads. There is also a Gigabit network port and full broadband connectivity for easy access to the Playstation Network and online entertainment. It’s WIFI certified (B, G), can support up to seven Bluetooth devices, has USB ports on the front, which support USB Keys, USB Hard disks etc. It outputs Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, has an HDMI port and can read DVD Video/Rom. Finally it is a region 2 player with PAL support. The box weighs 6.5kg with everything packaged inside.
I am also throwing in a Bluetooth remote control + my only two games (Grand Turismo 5 Prologue and Formula 1 Championship Edition).

Name your price – I will tell you YES or NO!
Wow! did you watch the cricket match between England and Sri Lanka on Sky Sports HD? A total different team that has been losing to Australia recently. What is going on?
There were terrific odds on England winning 
because everyone thought they would lose and even the online betting headlines had the wrong idea.
Heroes of England: Morgan not out on 62, Collingwood 46, Shah on 44.
I can’t wait for the match between England and South Africa.
Sorry guys, I lost the car in Turn 17,” says Romain Grosjean. Yes, we saw that. Disbelieving looks in the Renault paddock that scream “seriously, that corner??
Roman Grosjean crashed his renault in the exact spot Nelson Piquet Jnr crashed last year.
I guess he wanted to show Renault that he could crash there without instruction from the team. That section of the wall must have a renault magnet inside it attracting their cars.
What the hell has Jack being up to all this time? It seems like ages that he was saving the world. Well the wait is almost over.
To help offset the strike-induced delay, 24 will return tomorrow night, November 23, 2008 with a two-hour prequel (titled 24: Redemption?) that will take place almost a year after season six and will “set up the story that launches season seven”.
Filmed on location in Cape Town, South Africa, and Los Angeles, 24: REDEMPTION stars Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland along with new cast members Cherry Jones, Robert Carlyle, Gil Bellows and Academy Award winner Jon Voight.
After sacrificing everything for his country, Jack Bauer (Sutherland) is wanted by the U.S. government and now stands to lose the only thing he has left: his freedom. Working as a missionary in Africa, Bauer is called upon to stop a ruthless warlord from drafting innocent children into his murderous militia. First, Bauer must confront his own torturous past and face an impossible decision that will change his life forever.
Of course, don’t expect to see this show in the UK anytime soon, so best you download it off your favorite download site.
According to their web site it’s completely new, and it’s never been done before… Huh!, what’s never been done before? – "mariposaHD is the world’s first High Definition TV show distributed directly on the Internet. It is made by four ordinary guys, with consumer-grade equipment, in our living room. It’s TV, 21st century-style".
Wow!, sounds interesting, especially since it makes use of HD technology and according to the web site it’s FREE (words I like to hear). They make use of P2P distribution, so basically you can use programs such as Zudeo (Powered by Azureus) or BitTorrent to download the episodes. The episodes are 1 GB in size, so a lot bigger than your average AVI or DIVX, but then they are not in HD quality.
You can also find the episodes at Dovetail. They are a browser-based media distribution platform that utilizes peer-to-peer transfers and streaming video previews. Dovetail distribute in full 720p High Definition resolution. (Not bad for a web site).
P.S. Dovetail doesn’t support Mozilla Firefox – Hopefully they will get into the 21st Centuary soon. 
I’ll comment about the show in a week or two after I’ve downloaded a few and watched them.
