The (legal) things you’d like to see the scene bring to the PS3

I'm just using the first gen apple tv as an example, once a VERY limited unit, I now have it loaded with new features like Boxee, XBMC, LAST FM, loads of codecs and other goodies that made a OK device alot nicer. Some people think homebrew is boring but the creative folks out there really come up with some damn nice stuff.

Region Free PS1/PS2 game support

Other OS support back in with full RSX support for 3D gaming

Mp3 playback in all games

Cross Game Chat

Move style menu to replace XMB

I have also got a imported console from japan and I can't play any of my pal ps1 games which is quite a pain, and more codecs like mkv's

Probably a bit over-ambitious but i'd like XP to run on it, because that would be the ultimate goal giving the best of both worlds and making the Ps3 future proof after the inevitable death of it's homebrew scene. But i guess i'll have to wake up eventually from this dream.

I don't think getting XP (any version of Windows) to run on Cell is actually feasible.

To a limited extent it is possible, because you can even run Windows 98 on a smartphone through Dosbox, but the problem is it's emulated so doesn't communicate with the hardware.

Just five things for me.

1. The abilty to hide unused icons like the netflix, playstation home etc.

2. Sort the settings menu so it is alphabetical.

3. Have the ability to uninstall apps like the photo gallery and video editor to free up the harddrive space they take.

4. Add Lossless audio support besides Wav, something like Flac, ALAC, Monkey's Audio, True Audio, WavPack and Shorten

5.)More visualizers for the MP3 player.

Otherwise the ps3 has everything I need.

A usable internet browser.
Being able to play my own music in any game.
MKV support.
Keyboard/mouse support for games.
Being able to see the charge on my controller without hitting the home button.
Updates on the left side of the screen as opposed to the right(always fun to be playing MAG when somebody decides to log on and I can't see my map. I can turn them off, but I can't see messages I receive).
Being able to use ad-hoc with a DS.
Cross-game chat would be nice.

That's about all I can think of.

Quake, yup... just Quake. Everything that has been "hacked" has Quake, so why stop at the PS3.
