Now that is too cool.....It guarantees I wait in line when they come to Canada (IF they ever come).

"Other functions could be for the iPhone to record and track your movie collection and playback habits."

Yeah, we're going to need encryption.

Man, if I get iPhone/iPod touch versions of a BR movie I buy for free I'll actually have to start buying them! Right now I have 1 BR movie and not much interest in buying more until the prices drop, this might actually add enough value for them to be worth it at the current price.

Oh yah, and I got a PS3 all right, my Mac is for serious work, my PS3 & PSP is for play, and my iPhone rules.

Multi-Touch remote for my PS3? Sign me up!

The Sony interface is horrible so I'd welcome some Applization of that experience.

@Macromancer

I second that. The onscreen menu is OK but god forbid you go to the online store. Just try to read anything. I'm viewing it on a 40" HD TV and we have to get up and walk over to the TV to just read text and menu items. Try to change the settings. Good luck.

Has anyone tried medialink as a software solution to mimic (partially) AppleTV using the PS3? Works great to stram material from my iMac with iTunes and iPhoto but is a little funky with movies.
Will be interesting to see how well the iPhone communicates.

I have just started using EyeConnect from Elgato with my PS3 and so far it works awesome, plus it plays dvi and other formats. It basically turns your Mac into a DLNA media server. You can access your iTunes and iPhoto content as well, but I haven't tried that yet with the PS3. I am impressed with the PS3 as a media machine, plus you get a Blu-ray player. It also plays games. lol

@Mo...I fully agree, the PS3 is indeed a marvel as it easily sees and interacts with all 3 macs in my house. I mainly bought it as a blu-ray player when I knew HD was going buns up but having it as a game machine for my son was a factor as well.

Apparently you can buy love....lol

"Other functions could be for the iPhone to record and track your movie collection and playback habits. Another feature, first revealed by Sony for the PSP, is the potential for portable copies for playback on the iPhone or iPod Touch," Yam reports."

Or on your display it could just be 'play', 'stop', etc.
