I'm looking for a small form factor machine I can use as a media center PC hooked up to my HDTV.
Requirements:
Windows (need IE to use NetFlix on demand video service)
DVD player (blu-ray player preferred but can be upgraded later)
HDMI output
DVI output if HDMI not possible (I want fewer cables)
IR Remote
Dolby 5.1 output (optical is best)
I just want something small I can put in my TV cabinet.

*Thought* is there a Linux distro you can run on a PS3 that will allow me to run IE and the NetFlix plugin?
Edit: I was looking more, and someone was able to boot into XP using an emulator, but it's super duper slow.
But yeah, I agree with you davids that there isn't much use for a PS3 if you do not use it for playing games or watching Blu-ray on a HD TV.
