I had a buddy that did it and he loves it, he said it was easy and it looks nice on his big screen.

Sweet! It worked!!! Now I just need to figure out all the cool stuff you can do. LOL

As for why? It will play any format of video or audio, unlike the PS3 OS which will only play a few different file types. You can also turn it into a media center, DVR, ect.

HAHA no, Not for that.

I have movies that are in different formats that I can't play on my PS3 until now.
