There's an article in Design News
PS3: Fast and Cool
http://designnews.com/article/CA6406738.html?nid=2321&rid=1205974513
I've had mine now for about 3 weeks. It is an impressive machine. It does get
warm and it draws a lot of current (I have it on a MONSTER power line filter
with voltage and current meter).
I am disappointed that when playing regular DVDs and PS2 games, the PS3 does
not do any up-onversion, it instead passes the signal as plan old 480. But
when playing Blu-Ray and PS3 games, it is impressive. However, the Blu-Ray
movies are not as vivid as I expected (say as compared to hi-def off-air
television or my up-converting DVD player). Perhaps this is because the
encoding of the movies is not at a high level (yet). The sound from the PS3
games and Blu-Ray movies is very impressive. If I notice anything that's
different, it is the sound more than the video. My TV is 1080 HD. The web
bowser is very bad. I am not impressed that the PS3 is an entertainment
center. Hopefully a future firmware upgrade will fix all this?
I have not loaded Linux on it yet. I am trying to find time among the other
projects that are demanding my time.
