    Another reason to get a PS3 over an XBOX?

    Excepting the fact that XBOXs are still dirt cheap, and getting dirtier.

    Been using the unofficial one and that's great. So a better one is all the more welcome.

    Don't worry about the Xbox fan boy, if it was as good fun as they claim it to be he wouldn't have time to flame PS3 users on forums for no other reason than it has PS3 in the news title.

    How is that fanboyism? Did I mention any other brand or console for comparison...no. It was a joke and rightly taken by some (see thanks on my post)

    Re: News - PS3 BBC iPlayer coming soon

    would be good to see this coming to the 360, on a different note it would be just as good to have a lil web browser on the 360, there was always a few things the 360 did that sony have since copied (not that its a bad thing) but its about time the 360 copied the ps3's web browser, then we might get an iplayer

    Oh for crying out loud. I have BBC iPlayer on my N96 and don't use it. Really only on the PC. I won't be using it (famous last words! )

    Quality!

    Cool! I was fed up getting out my keyboard etc for my HTPC to watch iPlayer. Now using the PS3 is a much neater option and actually gives me a reason to use its internet browser!
    Not around too often!
