A PS3 running VDR is more of a novelty item considering the price. For the cost, you could easily build a computer that can handle HDTV, be a lot more robust, and have money left over.
how this? HPTC cases alone cost 100E upwards, HD-DVD drives go for 200E, then you only have 300E left for HDMI GFX card, MoBo, CPU and Ram. at least, these are the prices i get from google and ebay. so it might be possible to get it cheaper, but this is not obvious to me. and why should a PC be more robust?
besides that, i don't want to argue about a few euros here and there. i find the practical and technical implications of vdr@ps3 more interresting.
I say this jokingly but not every idea is a good one mate! :)
i must agree.
