Megabox homebrew project for the Playstation 3!, Woot! Options

[illriginal]

Well I was looking up Playstation 3 themes or at least a how to on creating my own PS3 themes. Which isn't all that bad, it's actually easier than creating themes for linux.
Anyways I came across this... and this is truly bad ass. Basically imagine a theme that gives more functionality and at the same time looks like a normal computer's desktop.

Check this out:


The PS3 is an amazing piece of machinery, but the PS3 Megabox Homebrew Project isn't waiting for Sony's inevitable firmware updates to make their dreams to come true. Nor are they installing Linux. Instead, the group is taking the bull by the horns and offering an incredible (update: beta) software package—completely runnable from a USB drive or DVD—to add a slew of new functionality.

A modification of open source software Freevo, Megabox brings VOIP, P2P, Firefox, 3D Linux gaming, TV recording (not sure how on this one), and emulation—as well as plenty of other features. Essentially, it's Linux without the install, reskinned with a neat media center interface. The price is right (free) so we'll give this a try and tell you what we think. Until then, here are the full details:

Also just a heads up, the HDMI driver hasn't been added just yet. It's still under development.
