I remember 2 that I thought were hilarious... one where Andy has a valuable nickel and Dr. Kingfish swindles him out of it by performing a "nickelectomy", and then puts it in a pay phone by mistake ! He cracks open the phone to get the nickel and gets arrested The other is Andy's Flying lessons ! HA what a hoot! Some great laughs.

cool! Good to know =)
But since I already have a BluRay player and don't really want a gaming system, that wouldn't be such a great solution in my case -- especially at 2-3x the cost of the new Apple TV ...
To each their own, though. If I was starting from scratch I might consider a PS3, although I'd have to weigh the fact that I'd be paying in part for the gaming functionality, for which I really have no need =)

That's what I ran into when we got the PS3....we just didn't use the gaming function hardly at all and the blu ray (to me) wasn't all that overwhelming. So we sold it.
carp, PS3 media server is a DLNA program that runs on your mac, PC or linux box and serves up files from your computer to your PS3. It even converts formats on the fly if the PS3 doesn't support them, to something it does.
I like it a lot because the quicktime files my Kodak HD camcorder outputs don't play natively on the PS3. But I don't have to do a thing with them, since PS3 media server converts them on the fly.

Thanks
So PS3, is using your computer as a server? is that correct.
